I made two characters early this morning, and both got the names I wanted.

* (Freedom) Petri Dish: Nature/Water defender
* (Justice) Hydroelectric Dan: Water/Electric blaster



What unexpectedly available names have you gotten recently?

Natural Beauty. Not sure this is the right section for this though.


He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.

I'm sure that it isn't.

A while ago, on Virtue, I snagged:

Deadly Dawn

I was very happy with that and then, to my surprise, found that Deadly Dusk was also free. Dual concept ftw.

Darn, you guys are right. I thought I was posting in the City Life General Discussion forum. And just spent 5 minutes hunting for my thread there before finding it via the Statistics for my posting account. I apologize.

Do the community relations folks have the power to move threads? If so I hope one of them moves this one to where it belongs.

Yep, they can do that. Probably the easiest way is to look at the list of who's online now, and PM a redname. They usually respond pretty quickly.

I managed to get "Flavor of the Month" for my ice cream themed Stj/Ice stalker.

Chrono Puncher: super strength / Energy Brute. "he came from the future! to PUNCH!" Costume has the retro-sci fi and all that.

For some reason I thought it was such a campy obvious name what should have been taken in Virtue, but wasn't.

Earlier this afternoon I sent Moderator 13 a PM as you suggest, to move this thread to the City Life -- CoH and CoV General Discussions forum.

Some of you-all have snagged some nice names. Grats!

Sands of Moo and Seawall were some of my most recent name acquisitions. Very surprised to get both on Justice. Oh, and Stick in the Mud.

When GR launched my girlfriend made a dual pistols catgirl and managed to get the name "Tigger Happy" which surprised both of us.

So to add to the discussion, what names were taken that surprised you?

A good week (I think) after Freedom launched, I decided to roll a Beam/Time Corruptor. I got the name 'Beam Line' as my first choice immediately, which caused me a brief brain failure as I wasn't expecting to get it....

It didn't really surprise me, but "Life and Death" was taken. Worked out, though. "Death and Life" is probably the better name for Necro/Nature MM.

Similarly, "Sticks and Stones" was not available for my staff/stone brute, but "Stick and Stones" is more accurate anyway.

Lately...

Lemon Law - Water blaster.
Slightly less surprised - For Grape Justice. Also water. (Cold/Water defender. Which itself is just kind of fun to say. "I'm a Cold Water defender!")

Last night I wandered over to Justice, where I tend to make punny names for the Iron Eagles hardcore group, and created a big yellow bird named SesameStreet Justice.

(The name field is one space too short for "Sesame Street Justice.")
