So, I'm trying to name a character.  He's an albino Tiefling with silver eyes and horns.  He's also chosen the path of a Paladin of Freemdom.  I'm trying to go with something that would translate to something like ghost, spirit, white, snow, silver, etc..  Currently, I've gone with Geist but, I'd rather have soemthing in the Infernal language or similar.  Any ideas?

If only he was a sorcerer or wizard. A standard blaster type, you know? Then you could name him Blasstier. German for pale beast (blass and tier respectively).

I like a name that says a little something about the character with normal words or a play on words.

 

So here I'd go with something like Sovren Palehorn or Q'art Blanche.

Actually, the Blasstier is pretty cool.  Thanks for that! 

 

Anyone else?

What about creating your own infernal names?

 

You could choose a Virtue Name- such as Hope, Freedom, Silver, Spirit, Clarity.

 

Then either reverse or make an anagram or add a few null/void words.

 

Clarity (means clear/bright/white/ghostlike)

 

Yitlarc  or Y'tlaric or Y'tla'cri

 

Gheist could be Tseigh or Tsiegh (maybe pronounced Sigh- a ghostlike whisper)

 

 

If you liked Blasstier, you are not limited by real languages so you could use Tier Blass or Tierblass or Tyrbloiss

 

What sounds right for you?

 

My sorcerer character 'Askith Nigh', is so obviously 'A Sith Knight'- she's a noble taking the Knight varient, so has her own apprentice (squire)
