Advice on a name

I am planning to move a character to Justice. Hi! However the character that I want to move has a bit of a dilemma. Her name is not available.


The Devil's Mark

So, I was hoping that you folks could help me decide between my alternatives (checked, available, and currently held with a placeholder). Other suggestions are also welcome. Oh, and if anyone knows "The Devil's Mark (Justice edition)" I'd love the opportunity to take the name if it isn't being used.

Her (brief) backstory is that she was killed in an accident at a young age. However she woke up in a strange place, seemingly unhurt, but with the handprint burned into her chest. She consulted a priest who told her that the mark was put there by the Devil to keep track of her, and that she would need to find out why. She is a Dark/Dark defender, level 50.

I have her new name narrowed down to either:

1) The Devil's Brand
or
2) Mark of the Devil

Brand is the best synonym for "mark" that I could find, although I considered "emblem", "stamp", and "scar". "The Devil's Hand" is also taken. I do really like the idea of a possessive form name.

"Mark of the Devil" is clearly the most literal, but I'm afraid people might read it as the English name Mark, with the same cadence as "George of the Jungle". On the other hand, it does remind me of the phrase "Speak of the Devil", which might be a cool thing to hint at.

So, anyone have any suggestions for me?

Le Signe du Diable.

I believe it's French for "sign of the devil" or "mark of the devil" possibly even "Devil's Mark"

I like the idea, although French wouldn't work for her. She'd be more likely to use Spanish. It also loses the possessive form that I like.

Hmm, I wonder if I could modify "Devil" rather than "Mark" to keep the possessive?

The Demon's Mark
The Prince's Mark
The Dark Prince's Mark (plays on the dark powers, but it's cumbersome)
Hades' Mark
Lucifer's Mark (people might call her "Lucy" rather than "Mark" -- her name isn't Lucy but at least it is a female name!)

Hades isn't the devil. Neither is Lucifer. The religion nerd in me is frowning.

Some of your other names are good. I like The Prince's Mark.

Try sending a global tell to the other person. If they are still subbed you might get a reply.

/getglobalname The Devil's Mark

And welcome to Justice!

I'm sure if you play around with it you'll find a few good ones available.

Touch of Death(or Darkness,etc) or flop it around for Death's Touch....

I like the theme you're going with. I have stalker named Satan's Fingers.
She traded her eyes for some sweet claws

Welcome to Justice and good luck picking your name.

Oh, I like The Devil's Touch. But darn, it's taken too. That's a new line of exploration though. Thanks to all the suggestions. I have some good ideas now.

Gonna try contacting the owner of "The Devil's Mark". Maybe she won't be using the name

Heh, just a tad. But it's not our fault, really. The way religion and religious history are taught (or more accurately, not taught) in this country is deplorable.

But I'm a religion nerd (it's my minor), and it's a big hot button issue with me. Though I have to admit "bĂȘte noire" cracked me up, just because of how it could be translated.

Not yet. I am SO indecisive. I sent a tell to the global who owns "Devil's mark". In the meantime i started a scrapper to goof around and get to know Justice. She's 13 now.

Join channels "Justice United" and "JFA2010" and you'll get to know Justice in so many more ways than you envisioned.

While that is a cool name, Witches aren't the devil either. Don't believe medieval propaganda.
