How many "Darth"s will we see?

I would be willing to bet both of my level 70 characters and my pally that at least 1/3 of the DK's we see in the first month of WotLK's release will be named "Darth"-something-or-other, or including "Sith" in the name. The rest will likely start with "Dark", "Death", or "Black". Heck, even I'm considering naming mine "Blackbart".

I hope Blizz loosens up their naming restrictions a bit. we're running out of names.

If you're having a problem thinking up a name, there are many free fantasy name generators out there that may help. I have yet to ever have a problem finding a name that fits within the naming guidelines. I'm sure if you work at it, you'll find something a bit more fitting to fit your death knight than borrowing from an outside lore.

Good morning, Neth.

Any chance on info this week?

Oh, and to stay on topic, one really cool way to pick names, is this- take an ordinary name, and replace the vowels with different vowels- Andrew becomes Endrew or Hannah becomes Honnih.

It makes it easier to think of stuff, and you can permute your actual name into about a thousand different names.


Not this week Darshnar, and great suggestion on creating names. Add in playing with spoonerisms too, but would also warn people about getting crazy with spoonerisms since some may end up being a bit inappropriate.

I think I'll name mine Nethaera, will be a female gnome


There are already 15 Nethaeras in the Armory, and not a one of them is me.

I also believe we will see many "Drath-"s, "Dartth-"s, "Daarth-"s, and maybe even a few "Garth-"s.


I'd like to see some Garps. That was a pretty funny movie.

'Cept that none of those words are obscure. Not to anyone with a decent education, anyway. How about Weltschmerz, that would be a fitting DK name and it is quite obscure. ;)


Sardoodledom is my new favorite word courtesy of the National Spelling bee.
