If you like a name, go with it. Would be nice if you don't pick the same name as someone else in the realm. If you know someone has the same name from another realm who is widely known in the sport, might be a good idea to stay away from that name as well. You can always change it too, but honestly, I say take your time and come with something that you really like and that fits you. Some people change there's multiple times within a year so no one knows what to call them and they end up being called their street name. Heck, a lot of people are rarely called or known by their fighting name.
Some people go with something as simple as their last name or a variation of their first name. Others go with a nickname they've had for years. Some people went with the first name someone mentioned to them. Some names were a group effort. Some are completely thought up by the person with that name. Think most people have changed theirs in some way, so yeah, don't feel bad if you end up doing so too. Like I said, just take the time to find something that you like and that fits you. Just cause someone throws a name your way doesn't mean you have to go with it. Hope that helps.

Generally you want to go with a organial sounding name yet is not already taken. You want it to be two syllables or less, because anymore it makes it hard to remember. If you have any idea on what names to pick, go ahead and list them and I can tell you what I think is good and not good. Otherwise I can pick a name for you.

My name was given to me by Lloyd at a build day but in general think of something you like and would want to be called. Also, try to avoid names that can easily be twisted into something derogatory

Yeah, don't be like Meat or Orjees Feelgood.
You can name yourself, or you can wait to be named by someone. Usually when you're dubbed a name there's more meaning and more story behind it.
My name comes from Ragnarok Online. Ironside Alastor is what I always name my Priest.

My name comes from McCracken, because I like mocking elvish names. It just got too long to yell so it was shortened. Thinking about adding another part to it.
But yeah, names happen.

Let's all share how we got our names. Been curious on some.
I originally was going to be Kellena....from a character from one of my stories, but it didn't feel right and people didn't spell it right which really bugged me. Thought of a bunch of others....researched meanings...narrowed down the list....asked others what they liked. Kellena and Wren got the most votes at two each (lol) but the two guys who voted for Kellena misspelled it. I also liked Allia so I went with Allia Wren...but Wren stuck more and felt better. Turns out there another Wren in bel....although few seem to know her by that name...but kept getting bugged that I needed to change my name. Also, had a bad a year and kind of wanted a fresh start so became Wrennen (again with thinking and researching-I like researching names for some reason)....but I go by Wren since people already know me by that, it's shorter, and all that jazz.
Kracken...is that mocking elf-ish or evil-ish? LOL, getting a kick out of shorter name but thinking of adding something to it. Oh well, there's nicknames from fighting names for a reason. And last names can be cool. LOL. Makes you different from people with the same fighting name...or something.

I was given my name at my first Khador build day i attended; Lloyd was sewing sword covers and belt pouches and said "i have sacks of various sizes and colors. 'Saxavarius' would be a good fighting name." he then pointed at me and said "I dub you Saxavarius." Kraken and everyone else in attendance promptly agreed

i got mine at practice one day last season; pretty sure it was in the spring. i didn't have a name, so Kihose looked at me and said "we have a Heffalump; you should be Woozle." so i've been Woozle ever since. this is how i remember it happening, anyway.
