Eresin put this little tag on my forehead, and I will need the help of ihlos to get it off me. I would have loved to tag Zwicky as well, but I don’t think he’s got a blog.
But before ihlos takes over, I guess I’ll have to explain my name. As some of you know, my real name is Nordh. I changed it when I was 18-19 years old in respect to my dead grandfather, and because it simply sounds so much better than my old name.
So I guess that explains the first part of Nordhbane. In fact, it explains pretty much all of my characters first part of their names, except for my lvl 72 hunter “Nordh” that doesn’t have any second part. =P
In my arsenal I only have 1 character that doesn’t have Nordh in it, and it’s a shammy called Nhaia. Me and my girlfriend has 3 accounts between us, and we invited a friend to start to play wow again, so we were playing 4 shammies (multiboxing). Nhaia (N as in Nordh), Chaia (C as in Celara, my GFs characters name), Jhaia (J as in our friend Johan) and Mhaia (M as in my two first pets that I’m still using from time to time, Maya and MayaII (original, huh?)).
But back to my main hunter, Nordhbane. When I had the game in my hands I decided that I would play a hunter, because of the pets. But I sat for probably half an hour on the character screen just looking at that dwarf and thinking… Nordh, I want Nordh in my name. I think it has a nice mythological aspect to it. And what’s better is that dwarves in Azeroth are resistant to the cold. I wanted something that my character could have been nicknamed by his peers. In the end I decided that Nordhbane would fit the purpose perfectly. He is the bane of the northern landscapes. He’s a survivor of the cold.
Now I guess it’s become a more realistic name. WoW with all it’s addictions, Nordhbane is just exactly that, the bane of me.
Some other character names of mine are:
- Nordhaim, hunter (I like this because it can be pronounced like Nord-haim and yet Nordh-aim would fit a hunter)
- Nordhemon, warlock (A play with letters)
- Nordhblast, mage (I’m not a big fan of this name as it’s my AoE frost grinding bot, or will become if I ever get it to 80. Blast and frost spec doesn’t go too well together)
- Nordhshine, priest (A play on words with the phenomena Aurora Borealis, while also a priest is something that would shine light upon people)
So I guess that’s how imaginative I am when it comes to character naming.
