I wish we could have found some way to force every game of DW every played to report back on the names chosen for the characters. I have some sneaking suspicions about what classes / race / name combinations are being used most, but I would love to have hard data.

For my Elf Bard it was Feliana
Every Paladin in every game I’ve run has been Augustine.
I can’t suggest anything, since the only game I’m running is Eberron, and I’ve got new names for that.
/sub
I have had a number of Cassius’ in my games.
Cassius and Augustine are everywhere.
Regulus (Paladin)
Halwyr (elf wizard)
Diana (human ranger)
Plus whatever names we used at gencon. They should all be in your notebook still!
Avon (Wizard)
Belenos (Paladin)
Tuck (Thief)
Hawthorne (Cleric)
Gregor (Fighter)
Eric Mersmann BARBOZAR BONE…BREAKER
I regret that I have but one +1 to give to that comment
Xotoq (Dwarf Fighter). Come on, it has a X and a Q!
Human Paladin: Valeria
Elven Druid: Sinathel
BUT ADAM I DON’T GET IT WHY DO YOU FORCE ME TO CHOOSE A NAME WHY WHY
I tend to be the guy that obsesses & turns out a name of his own devising. I’ve played a human bard named Fergus, and an elf fighter named Llanas. Other than that, it’s been nothing but GMing DW for me!
