So this is a game I found on another site and being as obsessed about names as I am, I loved it. I will now share it with you.

So this is how it goes:

Person 1: Winterglaze

Person 2: 4/10
Razorquill

Person 3: 7/10
Redwing

ect...

So the ways the name is arranged is pretty easy. Add a suffix and prefix that describe a tangible or intangible characteristic. Kind of like in the Warrior series, if you've read it.

EDIT: Imagine the names are for either animals or tribal races, that tends to work best for these sorts of names. Notify what creature the name is for.

Rating goes 0-10, 0 being lowest and 10 being highest. Feel free to explain why you did or didn't like it.

I'll go first.

Emberspots

Razorquill is a great name!

Emberspots 4/10

It doesn't quite feel right on my tongue...

Slitherstep

3/10- How does something slither but walk? I can somewhat see it pertaining to a sneaky character, but something's off...

Shadowflight

Um... If it is an animal 8/10. Would be a pretty cool giant bird, or dragon, or something!
If it is a person 2/10 I think I would just feel awkward referring to someone called Shadowflight. "Hey, Shadowflight, how are you?" or "Look out! It's Shadowflight!" I just don't see it working very well, sorry.

Breydon

Ooo, cool! Can I join?

I think the names are supposed to be made up of two words put together, if I'm understanding right...is that right, Seabird?

Oh, sorry...I just reread the original post more carefully.

Grimfrost (instead of Breydon, or I could say Braydawn but that doesn't really work...)

Sorry to throw off the flow of the topic.

Grimfrost. 7/10 if it is for a bad dude, but if it is for a good guy. 4/10

Runningstone.

Runningstone is a 4/10...it doesn't have quite a unique flavor, but it still tastes good.

Redsquare.

Redsquare 2/10 It might make a cool name for a place in a city though! If that were the case I would say 5/10 because it makes my imagination create a cool city square.

Deathstone

Nickname for King David after his first battle? 6/10

Coppertrot

8/10- It sounds like a great horse name.

Loonsong


You're eating names?

Personally I think these kinds of names are better suited for animals, or tribal races. :3 *goes to edit first post*

Loonsong make me think of a crazy guy singing and laughing so 8/10. I love crazy happy guys. Take a gander boys; Ol' Loonsong's at it again, Ha HA! I never get tired a' watchin' him!

Do they have to be for just Animals or Tribes? Maybe would could put what we think they would be for after the name?

Crystallock or Crystal-lock. Not sure how to spell it. (a fair lady)

I think putting the prefered race after a name helps a lot. Like Loonsong was meant to be a sad and beautiful name for a black and white she-cat. But you took it and made it something I didn't expect at all.

7/10- Sounds like a nice name for a lady. Although the 'lock' part seems a bit... I don't know... Odd to say the least?

Flamewake (lion's name)

That's a great name for a fighter who leaves destruction in their path. 7/10

Shadowshaft (probably an archer)

Shadowshaft, excellent: 9.7/10
It sort of reminded me of that horse's name, Shadowfax. Although, on the page that name sort of looks like the name of some emo computer geek working at a print shop.

Windrider (Not sure who or what this would be; just sounded like fun)

(I have to admit that I wanted to put Skywalker to see what the response would be).

(* grins * When me and my oldest brothers were little, variations of skywalker were the rage for last names in our games. * giggles *)

8/10 That's in Becky Minor's book, and I always liked the feel of it....

Riverliar.

2/10- I don't see much of a connection. Liar...? Very confusing for me. Now Riverlyre is another story... I like that name. And it sounds exactly the same. >w> *chucks modified name back at you*

Beandip (I dunno... Some sort of fat dragon in a modern fantasy?)

Beandip 3/10

It's a fun name, I just doesn't seem very descriptive.

Tindertongue?

Glitterkill: Sounds like the world's most terrifying unicorn. 8/10
Sofasmother: All hail Poofcotton, the Mother of Sofa-kind! Or possibly just a giant sofa that smothers people. 3/10
Dazzleslap: Where do you come up with these? 4/10

Weatherweep (I don't know, it sounds like a mansion or a kind of bird.)

It sounds like my favorite kind of soft rainy day. 7/10

Starsoar

Pretty. I'd give it a 6/10.

Belltangle.

That sounds like a brilliant name for a kitten. 6.5/10

Hushwing

That sounds like a house wren. Or maybe an owl, because they have silent wings... 7/10

Withywimble.

Ooh, sounds like a made up creature in Jabberwocky. ('Twas brillig and the withy-wimbles/did gyre and gimble in the wabe...) I like it. 8/10

Flintthunder

Not bad. I give it a 6/10.

Darvir.

5/10 I like the sound...but I don't know what it means.

Steelwasp

6/10 Ouch. That sounds like a wasp that can't be smashed. That would...kill me to not be able to smash it if it got into the house. XD


Withernindle. (Yes, I love names that have these sounds in them.)

It's very lovely, though I'm not sure what the words are. 7/10

Weatherwhine. (Me too. )

Hmm. I think we have that at our house a good deal, whenever it's really windy. 5/10

Moonguard

Seeing it written: 2, but saying it out loud: 5 or 6.

Threadlark

It's the name of the character from my book. It was originally meant to mean, Dark Wolf.



5/10.

Warper.

I give it an 8/10 cause I like how it sounds, know what it means, and love the character.



I guess 6/10


Pretty. 6/10

Runningwind.

It's supposed to be two part names.

Runningwind sounds like a horse name. 6/10


Slickwhisker (probably a cat or a fox)

Why thank you. I love horses. :d

That sounds like a cat. I like the sound, so 7/10

Dawnflight

Dawnflight is definitely 8!


" "Warper."
It's supposed to be two part names."

War pear maybe?

Slushbunk

Youngchin

Golfwrinkle


But seriously:

Mountyear

These made some odd connections in my brain...which I will not mention.

Mountyear...it sounds kind of like new life, so I'll give it a 7.

Windflower

8/10, it has a sound to it that I can't put my finger on...I like it.

Zephyrcloak

Silverswish

Zephyrcloak...it kind of sounds like a train. 5/10

Silverswish makes me think of a kitty. Nice alliteration, my dear. 8/10

Larksong

Aww! We would not mind odd, unless it embarrasses someone or something like that.

Larksong would be about 4, since it seems like I have heard the name a lot, even if I have

A variation of Silverswish could be Silverwish, what do you think? At first I actually thought it was Silver's wish rather than Silver swish.


Packborn

Mmm, I'll say without detail that would be inappropriate. The first would be a fat old man. The second a youngish person with a lot of chin hair... <-- poke me if that's too detailed... The third was pretty much the same as the first, just a skinny guy.

Packborn sounds like a wolfses. 6/10

Skystream

Hmm, nice sounding, but a little boring. 7/10

Waddlebog. I have no idea what this is.

I don't have any idea of what I means either, but it sounds adorable. 6/10

Dappledleaf

Dappledleaf
Looks nice, sounds nice, smells nice, and tastes nice, but the idea is harder to work with, so I would say 6.

Why, Waddlebog is something which waddles in the bog!

It is!


Altarhorn

Okay good. I mix that kind of thing up sometimes.

Hm...sounds like a ram or something along those lines. 6/10

Windfoot

I must rate this one, because I love it. 9/10 I want a pet baby elephant named waddlebog! * dies of lovablenesses *

5/10 A horse or a gazelle or something would be nice with this one.

Thistlepin.

A very prickly something. I can almost imagine this being the name of a gossipy little wren. I like it. 8/10

Aaaagh, I'm getting visions of Gloppy from Candy Land. I'm thinking a cute tubby little creature that lives in a mud puddle...*Might have to create such a creature to go with Thumblewherry*

Shadowrider.

Shadowrider seems a little too familiar, but is good. I would say 5.

Bendlace

or

Bandlace

I am using these, but I do not know which one to choose. It is a surname for a family which has many characters involved in the stories.
