    Picking Your Name

    I tend to find the hardest part of an RPG isn't getting to level 99, or beating the eleventh boss, but right at the beginning when you have to pick your name. I normally spend around 20 minutes with a blank, and every so often get an idea, and then just think 'No, that sounds stupid'. So, how do you all pick your names in fantasy games?

    If your having trouble, there are plenty of name generators out there...

    Google is your friend!

    I never like those generators. I must have a particularly useless name! In fact, I'm just never happy with things.

    Definitions of perfectionist

    * a person is displeased by anything that does not meet very high standards
    Sounds about right!
