I cant find a good name like Blue Arrow
I dont like names with . in them or weird names like Blue.Arrowww1
If you have a cool "Arrow" name I want to buy it. my global is @Fire Beam.

when archery was first introduced years ago I got the name Captain Arrow which was awesome. And I stupidly deleted it.

Global: @Fire Beam

Go through all the color names you can think of and add "arrow" at the end, and if that turns up nothing, do it again, inly add "the" at the start - there must be one of those still free

Does it have to be 'Arrow'?

What about Quiver? Or Fletching?

Animals- Falcon, Hawk, Robin, Squirrel, Rabbit, Wolf, Griffon, Dragon, Viper...

Material- Impervium, Steel, Iron, Blood, Diamond, Ruby, Glass, Leaf...

Adjective- Swift, Silent, Deadly, Caring, Fat, Hollow, Noisy, Whispering...

Colors- Crimson, Shade, Golden, Gilded, Silver, Chrome, Emerald, Mauve...

Nationalities- American, Canadian, Belizean...


You can easily find an animal or place that's obscure enough that no one thought of it. But I'm sure there's got to be at least 1 name combo somewhere...

Chrome Arrow, Swift Quiver, Steel Fletching, Hollow Arrow... You can even combine a few of those with Arrow to come up with something if you don't mind 3 word names.

*THWIP!* *THUD!*

*Villain looks at arrow in chest*

"This arrow has waterspots and finger prints all over it! HAHAHAHA!"

*Villain falls over*

Well, I hope you are prepared to be taunted like that continually unless you keep after your polishing duties!

"The" is a title, and CAN'T be added to the beginning of a name. If you try typing "The" in the name field, it gets shifted to the title right away. The only way around that would be to not type the space, resulting in "TheBlueArrow" or something like that, which it doesn't sound like the OP wants.

Ah, so you picked one of my names? And you said you'd pay for it, correct?

Shafty McTwang is probably available on most servers.

Always remember, we were Heroes.

That is what I was thinking when he said that also. I would use those color names since they do have more flair in my books than just red, blue, green etc.

If anyone on Freedom makes "Shafty McTwang" and wants to team, I have a WP/WM tanker named "Harry Plumber" I want to level.

I would offer to level pact, but he's pacted with "Aunt Erma" which all good geeks know is a reference to:

Last I checked "Crossbow Volt" wasn't taken on a few servers.

"Frosty the Bowman" isn't exactly cool, and most likely taken, but you could check. Sometime ago "Shiver Quiver" showed up on my list of name possibilities.

Rhyme words could produce some very strange costume options. "Cupid's Pharaoh" for example.

In terms of colors, at least some of the following are probably still open:
- Golden
- Silver
- Jade
- Cyan
- Magenta
- Ivory
- Indigo
- Violet

Of these, the word "Violet" is semi-frequently conflated with "Violent," as in "Violet Offender." Silver and Sliver are sometimes rolled together. The "Golden Archer" has some rather funny connotations alongside a certain fast food chain's branding.

Meta names that play on concept could be "CMYK Arrow" and "RGB Arrow." These are names of color spaces used by "color technicians" in the electronic art world. I call these "metas" because they could be used to describe a character in your exact situation; wanted to stand in the tradition of a "colored archer" but all the good ones were already taken, so he picked them all.

If you wanted to play it for humor, you could pick an ultra specific color. For example "Cadmium Red M. Archer" could be the name of an OCD painter (Cadmium Red Medium being the name of a specific color of acrylic and oil paint).

Interestingly enough, I checked yesterday and "Orange Arrow" was also available on Pinnacle.

Sadly, Mauve Arrow and Puce Arrow were both denied membership in the Justice League of America.

"Oh yeah, like Green is something Fresh and New with THAT group," commented Puce Arrow.

It can get tough. Ollie probably camps the name whenever he is inactive, too.

Along those lines, you could even go 00FF00 Arrow. Or some other hex code if you don't want to risk being genericized. lol

How about David Bow-Man? Or is that too horrible even for a villain?
