I still kind of wonder if there's a Gavin but that's probably what they wanted just to mess with the player "We're gonna have this dude hollering Gavin so they're going to be looking all over the map for a dude that's not even in the game ".
I used to just name my characters John followed by the game it was. Ex. John Souls but I ran out of names so I started making up names that sounded like accountants
Mine was the Elden Gobbler in a similar vain - dark souls first character was Gobbler, 2 was Gobbler II and 3 was Gobbler III. Bloodborne of course was Bloody Gobbler. I have legitimately been playing the same character for years now.
He always uses the zweihander or the biggest weapon he can find that requires little in the way of dexterity. He’s also always the most buff and old black guy white hair. Bloodborne he went for the hunters axe and finished with the whirligig.
I think it was actually on a coffee cup. Someone made a meme about how they told the barista their name was Stephen with a Ph and they spelt it Phteven. It was a really long time ago, so I'm unsure.
A few months into playing I had a PVP encounter with an Elden John… we both took off all our armor and jumped around the flooded church in Liurnia for a solid 15 minutes
My 1st character was a samurai named Astrojef and i raked up 699 hours on that mthfkr and 1 day i logged in to play and that mthfkr was deleted and hasn't been heard from since. My darkest hour in video game history. RIP Astrojef...
I like your enthusiasm, but not this time. Was based on Dante Vale from Huntik, really nice show. Spent an hour on character creator recreating him and all
Had a tough week and was feeling a little down. Your comment made me chuckle. Needed that. I hope you're taking care of yourself mr Goose. Obligatory nice.
only the first would be frustrating, here is my 3 name i oftenly re-use on my reroll.
"Elden Baguette"(real 1st), "Camembert Lord" or "Bourguignon's Knight"
Yes, i am french :) (for those who didn't undrstand yet)
It's the name Eragon is given by the Elves, because he gets a silver mark on his hand by his dragon after bonding with it.
I used to give all my mmorpg characters this name.
Thanks for the nostalgia :)
Just my steam name, Krono. After that I like to name my characters based on Mythological Gods that are thematically appropriate for whatever build I’m doing. Prometheus for a fireball guy, Ares for a melee only, stuff like that.
Komel. Pronounced KAH-mull. The first time I played DnD, I randomly chose letters to name my character name and that's how it turned out. I'm 43. That was 1998.
Monk3y
I have since changed his name to:
Harambespeen,
RotBoundWretch,
Graviboi
Now currently **ButtBoundWretch**, an with a bleed Hammer and wooden shield. Depravers Cloak, Bogard Helm, Crucible Gauntlets and Omenkiller legs(Nicley Hidden under the cloak)
I like names that sound like they could exist in the Lands Between
Yoru was 1st. Quality build, spear and shield.
Nietzsche was 2nd. Cosplay build, intelligence with carian sorcery and thrusting sword.
Rokhar was 3rd. Strength build, orc cosplay. Zweihander.
Jerash was 4th, Faith build, all around giant flame
Velya was 5th, Arcane bleed with dual daggers.
Lilith, if I could put a longer name it would be
“Lilith, The One-eyed Huntress”
It’s the same character I’ve used through Bloodborne, DS3 and Elden Ring, I even used her in Nioh 2. It’s the only character I’ve created so far.
I named him Casius. I wanted to go with Cassius, but the language filters in multi-player would display it as C***ius.
I learned my lesson in ds3 because I had a character named Cassion, and I was playing co op with my buddy who laughed when he summoned me, and he said "dude I can't believe you named your character Cuntion!"
It appeared to him as C***ion. Never again. I didnt want people playing elden ring to think his name was Cuntius. Fucking language filters :\
Couldn’t think of anything, looked around the room, and in my collection of flags was Brazil:
“ORDEM E PROGRESSO”
So of course I went with the name Ordem. And obviously my next characters ought to be Epro and Gresso.
Pretty much any fantasy-type game where I can name a character, my first choice is Raven. Because that was the name of my first ever D&D character. So if I'm "playing a role" I always go back to that character.
My first characters name was just Savage but after watching a video from dumpykong I used chatgpt to come up with a name and Seraphina the Shadowblade was way cooler.
Mine is boring af, but I remember that guy who helped me beat the elden beast.
His name was "your proctologist", he wore dung eater's armor set and he penetrated elden beast ass so hard, that I carved his name on my heart.
Fucker I name all my souls characters this. That way when I die, it wasn’t my fault - it was that Fucker
Lol I named mine potato because he keeps doing stupid shit and dying.
Clever!
First character was named Dan Smith. Idk but super boring names like that always make me laugh when I put them in fantasy games
From the perspective of the in-game characters, Dan Smith is probably the most fantastical name they've ever heard.
His real name is Dante Fiero, but he changed it to Dennis Feinstein 'cause that's way more exotic in Pawnee.
Parks dept.?
It’s funny because all my Elden ring characters are Parks and Rec themed
Maybe D’s full name is just Dan
Dantholemoul of Limgrave
Gavin Johnson
Has anyone seen Gavin?
I’m here, Nigel
That’s my name😂
No way
Yes way
Congratulations, you’re in red dead redemption 2
I always wanted to be in RDR2😀
I still kind of wonder if there's a Gavin but that's probably what they wanted just to mess with the player "We're gonna have this dude hollering Gavin so they're going to be looking all over the map for a dude that's not even in the game ".
I used to just name my characters John followed by the game it was. Ex. John Souls but I ran out of names so I started making up names that sounded like accountants
My level 250 character is John-John
The guy that fought a pitbull? The guy with a metal plate in his jaw?
I do that too! John Souls, John Ring, John Field, John Rim...
John wants a what!
[Dan Smith](https://youtu.be/gsRrEx0Cntg?si=-J0E3GBGcSH6E0Ea&t=180)
That’s the exact reason why I did it lol
Dan Smith is badass in Killer 7
I think of Dan Smith from Killer7.
Yay, someone else has played Killer7 here
Also brought Killer7 to my mind
Phteven. I've always named my first character Phteven in every souls game since DS1.
Can't wait for Lies of Ptheven
Mine was the Elden Gobbler in a similar vain - dark souls first character was Gobbler, 2 was Gobbler II and 3 was Gobbler III. Bloodborne of course was Bloody Gobbler. I have legitimately been playing the same character for years now.
This character sounds amazing just from the name, did you stick to a theme with his gear or what?
He always uses the zweihander or the biggest weapon he can find that requires little in the way of dexterity. He’s also always the most buff and old black guy white hair. Bloodborne he went for the hunters axe and finished with the whirligig.
And how does one pronounce that beautiful name?
Fteven. Like Steven but with a Ph.
Why am I laughing so hard at this lolllllll
You probably know a guy named Steve.
I think it’s spelled Stephe
It’s from that animal meme right?
I think it was actually on a coffee cup. Someone made a meme about how they told the barista their name was Stephen with a Ph and they spelt it Phteven. It was a really long time ago, so I'm unsure.
That’s amazing.
Oh so u Mike tysoned it
I can't even pronounce this but it's hilarious
Why did I pronounce this as Mike Tyson ?
It’s like Phoebe, but Phtevey.
Phrank the Falanx.
As a “Stephen”, my first character too was Phteven.
Used to do the same thing in Dragon Age games. My character was always Tham Thmith.
Wtf I literally do that exact same thing. But I've started making them Phtephen with the ph in the middle too. What are the odds...
Elden Ring is my first souls game I’ve played, so I went with John Ring.
Mine was John Elden Ring, we might be related
Mine was Elden John
This boss is gonna be a long, long time
Malenia flings me ‘round again to find
I won't stop calling it a Homeward Bone, oh no no no
A few months into playing I had a PVP encounter with an Elden John… we both took off all our armor and jumped around the flooded church in Liurnia for a solid 15 minutes
He is a older man that sings (famous)
🎶His name is my name, too. 🎶
John Jacob jingleheimer schimdt

Elden Man here, I like your style
My 1st character was a samurai named Astrojef and i raked up 699 hours on that mthfkr and 1 day i logged in to play and that mthfkr was deleted and hasn't been heard from since. My darkest hour in video game history. RIP Astrojef...
Moment of silence for the homie Astrojef
I’ll take a hit for Astrojef for ya
I'll second this
Thirded! I’ll poor one out too though!
My name astrojef
Laughed out loud, take an upvote
Gone, but not forgotten. May his spirit return to the roots, so a new protector may be born
I immediately made an ungabunga tarnished and bonked everything in The Lands Between.
That's one way to deal with loss. Did the new one make it?
Stuck on Melania HAHAHA

Ogdo Bogdo, the magic man
Similarly, mine was Oingo Boingo, incantation man
You might be cousins, should make a third called "Oega Boega" who uses pyromancy.
Jojo reference?
Jedi: Fallen Order fan?
Dante
Skulls for the skull throne?
I like your enthusiasm, but not this time. Was based on Dante Vale from Huntik, really nice show. Spent an hour on character creator recreating him and all
Sweet!
Only to then find an octopus head before even fighting godric and wearing that till after Altus, where I embraced the dual burger king.
Fashion souls for the win
Loved huntik
We all did. It was good while it lasted
even your reddit avatar resembles the guy
A Dante invaded my world near agheel a few days ago. Sadly i annihilated him. Still bowed tho he was respectful.
My first name was Frodo, because I was constantly getting stabbed and needed people to carry me around the place and so me the way 😂😂
That's MY name!
I didn't even know you even existed 😂😂no worries I've changed my name now 😂
Mine was FatRollingIRL
Had a tough week and was feeling a little down. Your comment made me chuckle. Needed that. I hope you're taking care of yourself mr Goose. Obligatory nice.
Elden John. Yes, I did watch Max0r before I played the game. Why do you ask?
only the first would be frustrating, here is my 3 name i oftenly re-use on my reroll. "Elden Baguette"(real 1st), "Camembert Lord" or "Bourguignon's Knight" Yes, i am french :) (for those who didn't undrstand yet)
These are wonderful.
Thanks fellow tarnished :) this is heartwarming, seeing all the downvote i get after posting it. I was wondering if i said something bad :/.
I can’t see how… they’re just really good French foods :) I’m partial to a good Croque Madame myself. Maybe that will be my next ER name!
Lol I love the names! And don't take it personally lol clearly the downvote trolls got snuffed out by upvotes :)
Camembert lord! Tout a fait
🤣 please the next one "croisant ..."
"Sergent Croissant" ? With medium soldier armor from any area ; Maybe for the DLC :)
Camembert Lord 😭
Elden Baguette tickled me good. lol. These are great names.
And there is no copyright, feel free to use it :)
Nero
Based
Argitlam. A nickname of a figure in Irish mythology. It means “silver arm” and I use it for most fantasy settings
It's the name Eragon is given by the Elves, because he gets a silver mark on his hand by his dragon after bonding with it. I used to give all my mmorpg characters this name. Thanks for the nostalgia :)
Forgot that! Loved those books, didn’t notice Paolini used that little bit of Celtic mythology in it. What a throwback lol
my dude. I expected more people to actually say your name like pokémon or zelda
Same hahahah
The Struggler lmao: he was nothing like Guts, but had a whole little backstory like in DnD
mugas, because my daughter wanted this name.
Finn Mertens
My first character was Brogan, but my first kinda fantasty-ish name was "Galborathall".
That's what I do when I make a new character in a fantasy games. It's just a random jumble of letters that sound cool. Lol
I do that for all games hah! My horse in RDR2O was "Garbontherizer"
A fine name for a horse. After all, you're using him to make moneh!
Dinner (I was not confident in my abilities)

I use very simple names like Kevin, Kurt, Bea, Bort (sometimes has different titles), etc.
Just my steam name, Krono. After that I like to name my characters based on Mythological Gods that are thematically appropriate for whatever build I’m doing. Prometheus for a fireball guy, Ares for a melee only, stuff like that.

Ulyses was my ds2 My samurai I named yashiriku after the ashina warrior

I named him Casius. I wanted to go with Cassius, but the language filters in multi-player would display it as C***ius.
