Shino is a character from an anime called "Naruto" (Yes I watched it, but the Japanese version is by far better than the crap they show on Cartoon Network), and he is just one of the weird characters that's rarely seen and no one likes him that much, so I just used that. And I am also now making horde characters (just trying it out) that have names from David Copperfield (Yes, some people these days actually read Charles Dickens, though most read "Harry Potter.")

JKR is the Charles Dickens of the modern age. Instead of factories, she's ripping the lids off working conditions in goblin vaults.
Of course, Tom Wolfe keeps asserting that he's the Charles Dickens of the modern age. Meanwhile John Updike is sulking that no one loves him or his ponderous prose.
By the way, Shino, I thought you were twenty-five?

Yes, and some people actually read...BOTH! and a lot more, Shino.
Plasmo just popped into my head when Tomservo and Eegah were both taken. I just go for fun names, and Gnomesayin and Lilsumsum just seemed fun, as did Actionsaxon, Elkabawng, and Olyguacamole (unplayed alts).

The last song ("Redeemed") on the first Blue Oyster Cult album is about Sir Rastus Bear -- BOC is one of my all-time favorite bands, and I thought the name was particularly appropriate for a druid (although sadly I am not feral). Uvula is just a funny word (and funny part of the body) that people often mistake for another part of the (female) anatomy. I also chose it because of a very funny early Saturday Night Live sketch with Chevy Chase and Gilda Radner with the somewhat famous line "it's your uvula, Babs."
Just so you know, one of the Blue Oyster Cult dudes plays WOW. I'll have to look it up to give you more info, or you can do a search. I read it in a mag. :)

Maligner-random name generator with some help
Reggid-ditto
Yarb and Yendor- angrams of my real name, Rodney Bray. actually a kinda neat full fantasy game name together, Yendor Yarb but we only pick one name in this game so it serves for two toons.
Solace-when I was on Zul'jin I was in the guild Solace. When I made this toon, I chose the guild name. I regretted it but after the server move it doesn't matter anymore.
Farg-I like short names for short toons
Oiyn-ditto, and it sounded kinda dwarvish, and wasn't taken (despite being ripped-off from a book)
Mittun-my original halfling druid from EQ name that I always liked. Too bad he's a NE warrior...oh well.
Irual- My wife's name backwards, Lauri

Jacknsnap- made a rogue and he looked like an angry Jack so I added snap cuz he snapped
Illyria- name comes from the series Angel when Fred gets turned into a former god from a destroyed world
Beastial- wanted bestial at first to mean fierce but that was taken so I named her Beastial since she's a hunter (and don't forget her ravager pet named Butters from South Park)
....and then there's Bendnsnap, just a temporary alt from a trial account I created when my account was hacked... from the movie Legally Blond :eek:

Demondoodle(Gnome, Lock)- I was looking for something cheeky that match both a gnome and warlock, seemed like a good fit.
Tigress(NE Druid)-was about the 4th character I made, looked for something femanie and animal like, volia
Baresall(Dwarf Hunter)-the original name I wanted to give my druid when I transfered her over since she always wears amour that leaves 90% of her skin exposed but I never got the name change screen (Tigress was supposed to be taken on Etrigg). Really wanted the name and it is cheeky and not a bad fit for a female hunter ethier.
Groosalugg (Dreni Priest)-Character from Angel TV show, also sounded kind alien to match Dreni look
Area Team Name
Good Times With Weapons-Name of south park episode where they think they are Ninja's, was going to put Cripple Fight but was pretty sure it would get reported.

Dude. Viraj. He just called you old.
I'm not as old as Val, who is practically DEAD he is so old.
Besides, I think Rastus was all up ins calling Eric Bloom old. wtf my rock star boyfriend is NOT OLD.
He has aged gracefully with no visible signs of insanity! if you don't look closely.

Chatting with Arolaide:
Val: Nm, not posting this. Sexual references + Viraj = Stroke
Aro: ?
Val: Viraj making her comments about me being so old I'm almost dead.
Val: I was going to post something about how she needs to stop denying her need to touch my cawk.
Val: But I won't.
Val: Because that just made my skin crawl.
Aro: Ahahaha

Things that I have gained from this post:
1) We have some very creative, intelligent, funny, and interesting people in the guild
2) I think we ALL have a little attention deficit disorder
3) Birds are pretty
4) Adding the word ass to the end of any word makes it funny
