Favorite Achaean Names

edited December 2017 in North of Thera
With all these poor unfortunate souls who have parents that give them names such as Gobstopper, Whistleblower, and Sketchyland, I thought it an interesting idea to give props to some of the best Achaean names. Most of these just sound awesome when I pronounce them in my mind!


Oblive
Klendathu
Antidas
Elipise
Atalkez
Miriew
Sobriquet
Verrucht
Szanthax
Accipiter
Morthif
Blithe
Deuclion
Cobault
Rameus
Mezghar
Durzaan
Zulah


What are some of your favorites?

Thanks!

  • There are a lot of names I really enjoy. Here are just a few off the top of my head: 

    Sobriquet
    Tekumza
    Proficy
    Kasa
    Ginovianna (Just damn fun to say)
    Hataru
    Finchy
    Avianca
    Gnaash
    Krypton
    Vika

    Funny story about @Sobriquet and his name. I used to have him confused with some player who was an absolute a-hole to me when I started playing. I'm friends with his IC father, Taril, in real life. So one day we were just talking about Achaea as we did, and Sobriquet got mentioned. When I mentioned how much I disliked the guy, Taril got pretty confused and we rather quickly realized what was afoot. So apologies about the quiet dislike of your character some like.. half a decade ago Sob. <3
  • I like Dunn, and lecturing people about his difference with Dun, the valley and the barony.

    You like my name?

     :3 

    On a real note though, I enjoy most people's names. It's when it's some off the wall mess that's like 12 characters long and a jumble of vowels that make it almost impossible to try to target without having to default to the first 3-4 letters that I despise and hate.


    I've admittedly always been keen of Zulah's name. It just fits, man. Mf could be named Zulah irl and I feel like it would work.

    I miss Vardoulacha and Tyrsson.
    I am retired and log into the forums maybe once every 2 months. It was a good 20 years, live your best lives, friends.

    I was very happy when he moved from Eleusis to Targ and I didn't have to target him any more.
  • That's what tab targetting is for, people.

    t ank<tab>
  • Tab complete is how you end up with half your team killing you in a raid because the other person's name was Arisomething or whatever but Ara is first q.q

    Also how you end up with things like: (Party): Xaden says, "Target prop." when he wants people to target Proficy.

    You don't use tab targeting for names that are easy to spell, you use it for names that are stupid and that you never remember how to spell.

    "Aralaya" is short and easy, so there's no need to put it in your tab targeting.

    "Ankharaotef" or whatever is long and fucking impossible, so you put it in tab targeting and then just do ankh<tab>.
  • the solution is to just get really good at typing ankhareoutef

  • Blujixapug! How I forgot about Blujixapug, I'll never know. He's definitely ranked up there in the top 10.

    Protecting and Already are my two most regular ones :(
         He is a coward who has to bring two friends as backup to jump people hunting.

  • Why on earth would you have those words in tab targeting? 


  • The anthem changes, protecting you from magical damage.

    You are wielding that already.

    I'm working on it, ok!

    Sobriquet
    I loved Sobriquet because I did not know it was a real word. I consider myself to have a decent vocabulary (I was reading dictionaries at age 10/11 (ran out of things to read at home)), and somehow I came across the word in an editorial after I transitioned from Imperian to Achaea.

    Then I googled the word.

    Very good, Mr. Sobriquet, very good.
