Crazy Name Idea You'll Probably Hate

Your just mad because I'm right. Neener neener neener!


And just because you happen to want something doesn't mean it has merit.

I just find it a bit unfair that everyone is calling people who want names that are taken
"uncreative" or "unimaginative"
Sometimes the name is just taken.
Which leaves you with your awesome idea screwed

My character Rumble's
Name both describes his Vibration-related powers and his use of them in a fisticuffs style combat and tendency to always get in brawls.

I could go a-searching for synonyms for "Vibrate" or "shake" but it'd lose the fighting connotations. I could go looking for synonyms for "Fight" or "brawl" but it would probably lose the Vibrational connotations. So I'm stuck with putting Junk (I used a period) at the end of my name to use it, or I could scrap the character altogether.
It's not a crazily overused name,(as far as I know) and it's not intended as a copy of an existing character. It's just a name I want to use, and I can't use it unscarred because it's taken by someone else, who might also be using it creatively.

Eh, those sound kind of silly, if you ask me, and while he's a silly character, personality wise, That's a bit much.
And the name is Rumble, not Rumbles, I'm saying the name that belongs to Rumble (Rumble's name) was taken.
And honestly, That just sounds like adding junk letters or symbols again.

...you are offering up the fact the name "Rumble" is taken as proof it's not a creativity issue...

I am offering up the fact that I'm using a name in a creative way ,subtle, multifacted character aspects, to say that the Character is not simply a clone of this or that, or a one-off name I pulled out of my butt, but an inherent part of the concept, the creativity of which is debatable. What I was saying, is me not getting the right name and having to do something else with it is not me being uncreative, but Just someone else being creative in a different way that, unfortunately limits my options.
Edit:
So what I'm saying is that there are no "new" ideas under the sun, just new ways of putting them together, and that's pretty debateable. To say that someone putting together ideas, and then being displeased that an integral part of that idea is unavailable because someone else put that part together with something else is uncreative is unfair to them.

I mean, sure, we'll be seeing plenty of super-dudes running around, and that'll suck, but we get that now, people making crappy copies of existing characters will find their ways to do it. But people trying to express themselves with multiple different ideas being limited because other people had one element of their idea is unfair.

As for Solutions, I'd like to see the use of Name color for other players, I already use it in my chat window. If we could have the invisible character number thing, then have the character name colors change when multiple people with the same name were in the same zone, that'd work, there are other technical aspects involved, the afore mentioned tell and invtie issues, but it's workable.

I can bet you if I went and published a story with someone named Donald who had absolutely nothing to do with ducks or speech impediments, Disney would'nt give a damn about it.
I'm not whining, the only thing I was saying is that people who feel annoyed that their names are taken, and put in periods and such ar'ent unoriginal, just being forced to do what they can to keep their original concept.

A quick test shows Reckless Rumbler is open on Virtue and Freedom...

This has what bearing on what I said?
If I wanted that name, I would pick it, but I should'nt be forced to pick it, and I should'nt be insulted if I decide to tweak a name I want slightly with punctuation or some such because I was forced not to take the name I choose.

Yes you are whining. You are throwing a hissy-fit when we were just trying to help you find legitimate ways to get a name you wanted.







Each and every time you log into the game you agree not to use any names that violate a third party's copyright/trademarks.

Not whining, again, just because I'm debating, which Is something enjoy doing when done reasonably, does'nt mean I'm being a big baby, and what I was arguing in the first place is that people who call players who use punctuation or some such to use the characater name they want lazy or unimaginative were'tn being fair. and once again.
You can't copyright basic verbs or nouns. There are probably characters named Zoom in this game, because it's a generic word. The reason the particular name being used in this discussion is'nt available to me is probably(not going to say for sure unless a dev puts in word) not due to copyright issues,because it's a commonly used word, but because someone else has it.

I'm not sure how adding random inaudible characters instead of thinking up an adjective is neither unoriginal nor uncreative.

RUMBLE . . .

is your basic street punk. Small, but always acting tough as a cover. Not exactly the most subtle of Soundwave's spies, but what he lacks in discretion, he makes up for by being the brawler of the group. He talks tough because he is tough. Quick-tempered and of a generally mean disposition, he follows Megatron eagerly, as the Decepticon leader lets him indulge in destruction. Rumble has a tendency to toss out a taunting rhyme at his enemies and is, according to Brawn, a "jerk" (or at other times, a "sawed-off nerd").

As the Decepticon demolitions expert, Rumble loves nothing more than to break things apart. His arms can transform into powerful piledrivers that, when pounded against the ground,cause vibrations that cause earthquakes and fissures.


And then there's your character description.
