I had to resort to an online random name generator that’s used on WoW.

lots of common names are gonna be taken within the first few days of release. Some people don’t mind random names when there’s nothing else or not enough creativity.

Oh how I wish people did this more. Not a roleplayer or anything, it just breaks immersion seeing xXxDisturbed23xXx or something else ridiculous. Now BDO does a decent job hampering this. Watched one bdo streamer who tried everything to get his name, I was cheering silently everytime one of is ridiculous names got denied. No number or special characters helps a lot with this. I used always use a random name generator specific to the race of the character, keeping everything lore related and accurate in context. It really helps you feel like your character is part of the world.These days I have a rotation of names ill try mainly for warrior type characters. Otherwise back to the name generators. I also try to keep them short for other peoples convenience in chat, or if a longer name, have it abreviate down to something that looks and sound pleasing/not awkward. ie John/Johnathan    Chris/Christopher. Similiar to that, but generally I dont pull names from English.
