WildStar Naming Guide – Part Two: From Artemis to Zax (and Everything in Between!)
 
In the first part of our WildStar Naming Guide, we gave you a comprehensive collection of guidelines for naming your Exile characters in preparation for our upcoming Megaservers!If you missed it and need to think of a new name for your Aurin Stalker, “Bunnystabsalot” then you can read the first part here.We didn’t want the Dominion to be left out in the cold though, so check out the second part of our WildStar Naming Guide here.

			I foresee lots of female Mechari from fabrication section six. ;)

Oh loving this!! I don't have any Dom made, but seeing the history (specially the Mechari) I will probably make one now!
 
Thanks again for making both these naming guide histories!	
----
			
Chua pleased with information.
Fit perfectly in planned story for name.

			So since chua names are "nonsensical" ... Olivar Nopants? ;)

Requiring two names is a lazy move. You're pissing off everyone who reserved a name during the preorder to save yourselves from the wrath of the few who didn't.
 
This might be the only time I say this to the devs but *cupcake* you. Seriously. Everyone goes by a one word/name handle.

Everyone huh?Saying "everyone" is overstated don't you think? Just the ones (except you ofc) that have replied to this thread show me they're not pissed. And I can definitely say I wasn't pissed. So saying "everyone" is not the word I think should have been used. Maybe saying "some"?

It's a good guide.  You can tell because it leaves me with interesting questions.
 
So I have to ask about Draken : there are fire themes in Draken culture, but what about ice?  Mikros is a planet in tidal lock, so there is a dark side.  Are there ice themes as well, or are they taboo?
 
Is twilight a cultural theme for Draken as well, since the twilight areas of Mikros would have been more habitable?  My first assumption was that the twilight areas were the productive base for the Draken civilization that would be constantly conquered by "barbarian," clans arriving from the hot and cold wastes.  So twilight might be associated with victory and conquest or with weakness.  Could go either way.  Does this contradict?

You know, it's funny--I just stumbled onto these guides and they seem very helpful, so I logged on to say so.
 
These guides seem very helpful! Thanks for posting them!
 
Now then, onto the thing that caught my attention once I got here.

And given how strongly you seem to feel about this one, I'm having a little trouble understanding exactly what the problem is. Would you mind explaining it?
----
			
I don't like the "themed names" suggestion for Draken and Granok. Not because it's bad or wrong mind you!
But based on this it's kinda frustrating to find a fine surname that works for all 3 languages (english/german/french) on the EU server equally. (that isn't just gibberish)
 
My Chua had a fitting surname all along so it's just a matter of locking it in.

I dug into a cool thing Chad is making for all the Races and found out that;
 
"Mikros has a tidally locked orbit, with one side perpetually exposed to the searing heat of the sun. The other side is in cold, icy darkness and uninhabited."
 
That suggests to me that there wouldn't be any clan's tied to the Icy side of the planet, though the Twilight one could be quite good? I can see such a clan having a lot of Hunters.
 
OH, one thing though, Necroshaman (Evil Blood Shaman) do believe that twisted reflections of the old gods live in the cold wastes of Mikros dark side. That's a cool tidbit!

I can't speak for them, but my issue with it is forcing everyone to use two names. I would rather have had to rename my characters to a different but single name, than be forced to add a mandatory second name/title. Forcing me to add a second name means I'm losing the names I chose just as much as if someone on another server had typed it in the box before me, and I'd had to pick something else.
 
So basically, in a nutshell, I just can't see why the secondary name wasn't made optional, instead of forced.
 
No amount of creativity is going to make me happy with any silly title or surname that I don't want - leaning towards XXX or Esper and hoping we get to hide secondary names at some point. /sigh

I probably deserved this for ... ahem... "deserting" you guys because I was distracted by a certain competitor's shiny new expansion, but I feel really salty over not coming back in time to cash in on the free goodies for renewing my sub before the end of October. :(
 
Oh well.
 
On topic... I think this will be an awesome change. :)
 
...Please don't hate me, devs! I swear I'll never leave again. D:
 
Edit: ...I take that back. It seems I was rewarded afterall. <3
