10-08-04, 11:49 PM Thanks very much. One more question: Is you name supposed to sound Dwarven? I does. Dwarves are my favorite race and I love thinking up racial names, especailly for Dwarves and Elves.

10-09-04, 01:12 AM Yes, I named myself after one of my most-loved characters, whose name I in fact created with the Dwarven Name Generator in the Complete Book of Dwarves, waaay back in 2nd edition. I have since had a tendency to use this name in most online games/forums/what have you I join.

Especially since it's one of the few names I've used that's remained relatively unique. The one place I've seen it outside my character was the captain of the guard from The Scorpion King.

If your PC is a dwarf, yeah. However, what basis do any of us really have for determining what "sounds dwarven?" ;)

10-09-04, 03:27 PM Reading any of the Norse or Scandanavian mythology would probably be a good basis for what sounds dwarven... it's where they did come from:)

10-10-04, 12:46 PM Do a search on Dwarven names in Norse Mythology and you will see that they tended to have short, 1-2 syllable names. Unlike human Norsemen, they didn't have surnames at all.

Human Norsemen had surnames listing them as a -son or -dottir of their father. For example, Ericsson or Ericsdottir, son of Eric or daughter of Eric.
