Hey, I'd like to request a female Togruta name and a male Mandalorian name.

Thanks for your great service here.

All righties.

Here's some female Togruta ideas:
- Coraska Rey
- Plaak Vaes
- Sherasti Rin
- Queesa Sen

They could be mixed/matched as well.
If you need some more ideas, let me know.




As for Mandalorian, that's not a species. It's a culture. So you need to pick a species for him.

[Lemur, The Kool-Aid Guy]

Oops. My bad.

Human.

And I think I'll use Sherasti Rin. Thanks!

[Mara]

Ahh, human male... that's a pretty broad category... any particular planet he'll be from?

If you want, we could try something different, and have you help a bit. (A bit of an experiment that I do with myself sometimes to come up with names.


Otherwise I'll just throw out some names, which should be pretty flexible, no matter the background of the character, and can be mixed/matched if you prefer to swap out one first name/last name for another:

- Haran Rhesh
- Vuomo Voostin
- Chorlan Gharoulis
- Finn Mercado
- Rhen Askaari
- Yan/Yanto Burguli
- Las Canabsk


And I could go on and on.... ;p


Unless you'd like to try a different method, like I mentioned before, and just name a couple of your favorite players from your favorite sports team, and we can tweak those a bit.


Anyway, here's a start at least.

[Lemur, The Kool-Aid Guy]

That's clever.

Mostly I'm at a loss for Mandalorian clans/surnames. I suppose I could delve deep into the bowels of the internet though. Or just find something else to do. But I'll provide a few names to tweak. Not a big sports fan, but how about we try literature? lol

Victor Hugo
Leo Tolstoy
Mark Twain

Oh, I wasn't trying to use clan names.
There's only a few of those, and not every Mandalorian is in one of those 'main' clans.
And for my Mando, I just thought up a name; I didn't worry about whether it sounded Mandalorian or not. Quite a few Mandalorians are 'adopted' into the culture, so many wouldn't even have a clan name anyway. Not all of them are even human. ;p
So you really just have to think up a good human name.


Anyways... I could do something with those names, perhaps. Usually just switching around some letters will do it.
(Or there's always my previous list as well).

Some examples (you can either use these or just use them for inspiration...):
- Vacter/Rictor Pugo/Hugas/Vuago
- Teo/Lio Tolston/Colston/Holstay
- Kark/Maarq Swain/Twane/Quaine

Stuff like that.

Anyway, there's quite a few names there, and in my previous list.
I hope that helps you a bit. But let me know if you need further ideas.

[Lemur, The Kool-Aid Guy]

Ooh, that's clever. Well-done.

[Mara]

Thanks.

Did you get what you needed?

[The Conman]

Hey Mara, I needs a name for a Human Jedi from Cours...Cous...Coursa...however you spell it, the planet where the senate is. No real guidelines, just throw some names at me.

Coruscant?


Anyway... I'll throw out a few. There's probably some other unused human male names from previous posts as well.
Let me know if you need more.
As always, you can mix/match the first/last names.

Here you are:

- Dragen Wrexel
- Varron Aquision
- Urryan Chusassis
- Pasda Byas
- Freziak/Rez Mienda

I had to force myself to think of it as 'cor u scant' in order to learn it.

And yes, I did get what I needed. Thanks.

[Gamov]

Alright then. I'm working on a character presently and am a little better than half way through his bio. However, the name I currently have doesn't seem to have that certain ring to it. So hopefully I can get some assistance here.

Some basic guidelines:

Species: Kel Dor
Gender: Male
Profession: Assassin
Birth place: Corulag (if this helps matters any)

Any help is appreciated.

You're welcome.
And I apologize; I just saw your e-mail today.

Ooh, my first Kel Dor. Wookieepedia talks about their naming traditions, but it doesn't sound like it'll be too useful to me. ;p

Last names were important and passed down, it sounds like, and have special meanings. But I'm sure whichever last name you choose you can give whichever meaning you want.
And apparently first names had to do with the sounds on Dorin (so if you guy is born away from it, it's back luck! ) and are usually monosyllabic.
[ starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Kel_dor -> Society and Culture -> Naming traditions]

Hmm... Here's a few ideas:

- Gle [pron. like 'glay'] Soon
- Phlar Vran
- Rood Haran
- Quorl Daan
- Aast Tiin


And as always, if you prefer, you can mix/match the first/last names, if you like part of one name and part of another.

Let me know if you want some more ideas.

Apology accepted Captain Needa.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

[Gamov]

Many thanks for the names. I think I finally have a name that sounds decent enough after mixing what you have given me plus the last name I had already given him.

And I had read up on the Kel Dor prior to this myself only to discover that there wasn't much help. However, I figured I could write in the superstition of being born away from Dorin as part of the stigma of what makes him who he is.

Again, thanks a bunch for the assistance.

Glad I could help.

[Lemur, The Kool-Aid Guy]

Okay, I've got a new one for you. Probably don't get many of these requested, but...

One male Neimoidian please.

I think I've done one before, but that was to name a NPC for a plot.


Here goes:

- Grune Naak
- Sarno Vran
- Rav Nirras
- Bir Quarse
- Chorl Cirnay
- Arnok Fariik


As always, you can mix/match first/last if you want.

Let me know if you need more ideas.

[Lemur, The Kool-Aid Guy]

Thanks!

[Mara]

No probs.

[Lemur, The Kool-Aid Guy]

Okay, I've got one more for you. Trying for frequent-flyer miles I guess.

Female Twi'lek please.
