PostPost subject: Vote on a New Name for Blackguard    Posted: Thu Mar 25, 2004 05:32 pm Reply with quote

I'm trying to come up with a new name to use on websites (not necessarily in game) because Blackguard is taken... a guy who works for Blizzard owns the domain and uses the name. Since we're in the same basic are of the internet, I decided I should change my name.

Here's what I have come up with:
  • Ashenguard - The opposite of Blackguard
  • Doomweaver - Kinda cool
  • Dyamirr - An old nick I used to use
  • Adraedan - The root for "Dread" (adrędan)
  • Ebonguard - Blackguard, but Ebon.
  • Ebonheart - Shrug. Sounds okay.
  • Wyrmclaw - Doesn't mean anything specific.. Just two words.
I'm voting "Other" so my vote doesn't influence any of them.

Note: I want the name to be easy to spell and not too genre-specific. Something that is also easy to remember would be nice too.

Adraedan is my selection, not overly long or hard to spell.

Adraedan is the best. The rest are corny. But BG is still awesome. That's too bad you're giving it up.

FYI, Doomweaver and Wyrmclaw are fruity.

I picked Adraedan, even though it's a syllable long for my taste.

I suppose I could put "Draedan" as an option. Removes a syllable Wink Too late for that. I guess if you like that name just comment. I think the way to say "Draedan" would be "Dray-den" if you were wondering.

Also options: Dreadan, Dreaden, Adreden.

I've chosen the name I'm going to use: Adraedan.

Basically this means...
  • to fear greatly
  • dread
  • dreadnaught
I think that's pretty cool. In theory, it's supposed to be Adrędan, but since nobody but me knows the ascii code for ę (145), I'm using "ae" instead. It's also cool that it means Dreadnaught as well as Dread... Dreadnaught meaning someone without fear -- dread meaning fear.

Definitely Adraedan. Of course, you could've went with "Judge Dredd", but I think that was a movie. Wink
