I don't know if this should go here, but it seemed like the best place out of the choices I had.

I have some various names that I may or may not want my character's name to be. I need some help figuring out which is "cooler". :D

I have narrowed it down to a possible three. Kyril, Andarc, or Raku.

Any help with this would be much appreciated. Sorry if this doesn't... Go here. :nonono:

Raku... say it as "Ray-Koo"

Sounds pretty cool.

Apart from making names out of completely random names, i sometimes uses just random words, for instance one of my characters is called "Vincent Day"

Hope this helps.

I'd say I'm leaning toward Raku as well, pronounced like Fithero said. Question though, what kind of shapeshifter we talkin' about here? Cuz' a Chondathan werewolf's gotta have a different sounding name then say a doppleganger hailing from someplace in Eberron.

you're going to need several names.

I too am liking Raku but say it with a growl, shifters are slightly feral and so I envision them putting a slightly animalist twist on everything.

Yes Raku sounds good, a spiratual sounding name. I see shapeshifters as more of spiratual characters so i think it sounds good for a Shapeshifter

A Shapeshifter like a Doppelganger should have hundreds of names, any one it decides to use more often than others should be at least somewhat androgynouse.

A Shapeshifter like a Were-X will probably only have one name, and maybe a few aliases as they wander through cities and take victims.

Go with the Raku name. It sounds the best.

I prefer Kyril, which is itself a not uncommon form of "Cyril," especially in slavic nations. "Ray-Koo" is okay too.
