To illustrate the type of names one might expect, here are some examples rooted in specific Guild Wars 2 lore, organized by race and cultural background:
Name Feature | Source/Background Story | Examples | Significance |
---|---|---|---|
Norn Bear Lodge Influenced Names | Referencing the Spirits of the Wild, who are revered figures of power and guidance in Norn culture. Bear, Raven, Wolf, and Snow Leopard are especially important. | Valka Bearclaw, Torvin Snowstalker, Freya Bearmother, Bjorn Wolfbane | Names often include an honorific/title or verb, denoting strength, lineage, and devotion to the Spirit of Bear. Represents strength, resilience, courage. |
Asura Invented/Compound Names | The Asura are known for their intellect and love of combining words and concepts in order to achieve perfection. Their names should display scientific inclination. | Infinium Paradox, Zetta Particle, Unstable Catalyst, Null Theorem | Reflects the Asuran focus on logical arguments and invention. Usually related to technological progress, scientific theory research, or even humorous inventions. |
Charr Legion Titles Incorporated into Surnames | Charr society is heavily structured around the Legions. The Iron Legion, Blood Legion, Ash Legion, and Flame Legion (though no longer a legitimate Legion) each impart unique attributes. | Rytlock Brimstone (Blood Legion), Pyre Fierceshot (refernce extinguished flame legion), Crecia Stoneglow(Ash Legion-adjacent), Forgefire (Iron Legion-esque) | Shows rank and devotion on behalf of the char in line for their place to perform. Usually reflects a strong affinity with that legion’s core values. |
Sylvari Dream and Firstborn Influenced Names | Sylvari are born from the Pale Tree and have fragmented memories of the Dream. The character sounds soft, but often relates to flora or fauna, perhaps relating to past-lives if you dig deeper | Caithe Swiftblade, Trahearne Lostwisdom, Faolain Wisterstride, Keiran Thanehill | Often contain a combination of sylvan sounding adjectives, animals, or plant life descriptors associated with the character. Firstborn have the strongest, most decisive association to that pre-birth Dream. |
Human Divinity’s Reach Nobility | Referencing common places, professions, or roles within the kingdom of Kryta. | Lord Valerick, Lady Anya, Seraph Eliana, Countess Annalise. | Names are often followed up with the nobility title, signifying status, land, importance, within Divinity’s reach.
