The meaning of your first, middle and last name is what kind of person you are supposed to be. For me I'm a;
>Free Man >Lover of Earth >Defender of Mankind; Of the Sands
Meaning, I was raised as a soldier of the beach or desert, but I also see myself free of most man-made constraints and praise the earth itself.
ALSO
Let's Worldbuild this name based society.
>People are born into their names and follow their namesake as a way of life.
Adam Nguyen
>red clay >father of David >plural of cabbage or kale
I'm some kind of clay and cabbage golem who has a son that becomes a mighty king? Sounds about right. Also fucked up.
John Lee
>The Lord is My God >Venerable >Adventure Looks like I'm a Adventuring High Priest or something
Jaxson Thomas

some kind of paranoid, jewy hill dwarf

Alexander Williams

Ryan Cox
As High Priest I guess I have to do you in
Sorry but the Naming Bowl demands blood every so often
So I'm clearly a vigilante who protects a small village by night and delivers their news by word of mouth come morning.
Lucas Ross
OP set us up a scene now that we have some interesting characters
Aaron Rivera
>Son of Harry (which could end up meaning son of a ruler/son of an army's ruler if you use the meaning of that name, or just some bloke named harry) >Lives by the bridge >In the red pool
So apparently I'm a homeless dude living above a river of blood, once the son of an militarized nation's leader.
Alexander Martin
>Bringer of Light >God is good >Comes from north-east europe
Am I supposed to be a Deus Vulting Paladin?
John Sullivan

Henry Fisher
>Great guy! Powerful! And you know he's so generous, great guy.
You're destined for Trump's cabinet.
Zachary Thompson
Ironically the "Great Chief" is the meaning of Donald, my middle name
Camden Long
Brave Hunter claiming these two as my party. I'll be the skill monkey ranger and play it straight with your hilarious religions man and wanting to be religious orc shenanigans. Also, Cleric, Barb/Paladin, Ranger seems like a fine group.
Everyone else can just back off, best party coming through, go assemble your own.
Ryder Long
> Supplanter > Strong > Big
Well I guess I'm a Barbarian that has a thing for Overthrowing people.
Cooper Williams
Deepest lore.
Julian Green
>Gift of God >The Supplanter >Comes from a minor place (in the north of England)
Well I guess I'll one-up someone by being god's gift in an unspecific way?
Ian Reyes

Man I'm a comfy ass NPC.
Cooper Cox
Lives west of town, even.
Jonathan Sanchez

Making sure the Empire doesn't go the way of Alexander's after the founder is gone, one crushed uprising at a time.
Noah Butler
Best party let's go
Sebastian Sanchez
>Patrician/Noble >Son of Simon
I guess I'm Simon the 5th, son of Simon, heir to the name of Simon, lord over the house of Simon. So basically I'm the NPC the GM had to make up on the spot because he really needed one.
Hudson Barnes
Gift of God Small Winecask
God wants us all to have a small cask of wine. What a nice guy.
Carson Campbell

Parker Fisher
underrated post
Benjamin Price
>Strong willed, dog lover >Scotland >Chamberlain Looks like I've got my work cut out for me.
Jaxon Gonzalez
> Fair/white > rock > Wall that holds back water
I think I might be a Woobie. Or maybe like, a wall cleaner? Maybe an electrician working on a hydro dam?
That being said, if I play my cards right and the elders are down for it I could tots set up an orphanage or school. "water" could be symbolic of a lot of things.
Jacob Robinson
> God is gracious > Brown Warrior > Blacksmith > Friend of God
So does that make me like a cleric of the forge god or something? Can I imbue the weapons I forge with the power of my god?
Gavin Wright
The bright and famous king Of the wolves Heir to the black hero
Maybe some kind of disgraced noble paladin trying to atone for the sins of his ancestor, who though he has made a name for himself as a great hero and does his best to be a good man, has to constantly fight his darker tendencies and the rage that burns within him?
I feel like I would end up as the BBEG before the end.
Jose Morgan
>Prince of Ravens >Layer of Roads >Maker of Feasts
I think I might be a Lord.
Adrian Lee
Having been raised amongst three different cultures, I've been given three sets of names
>Little king >son of bright fame

Some kind of lycanthropic nobleman maybe?

Samuel Davis
>Bright Fame >Person from Laurentum >New branch
Guess i'm a successful bard from Laurentum who used to run with a band but went solo
Brayden Torres
>The Greatest >Listener >of the Franks
Last name is a bit trickier, since it's a combination of "Wind" and "in service to a lord"
So I guess I'm pagan Frank who is really good at listening?
Jaxon Mitchell
>Ah yeah, motherfucking Paladin. Probably some ranger in there also. Nice try, pastor dogfucker
Hunter Clark
>Bearer of Christ >Strait (the geological kind) >Round and Lumpy Uh... Dwarf Cleric? No idea.

Joseph Butler
>first name: a young warrior, or well born, noble >habitual name from various minor placed called (name) >modernization of name meaning descended from champion >a youth being trained for the medieval rank of knight
so I guess I'm a knight or paladin, or some kind of military officer, and son of a famous npc.
Lincoln Wood

I dont know what to make of this

Liam Fisher
>your warm, friendly disposition endears you to the elders, they always feel as if you were their very own grandson >JUST AS PLANNED

The middle one fucked it up. I've got not nothing.
Gavin Morales
Do you guys realise you are more or less giving your names to strangers. In Veeky Forums.
Nathaniel King
I am only giving my name.
Alperen = Alp+eren
Alp=warrior. Eren=Enlightened, sort of a Muslim equivalent to monks.
So my name kinda means Paladin. Or Jedi.
Parker Smith
>eternal ruler
>that which encompasses all
>one who is ordained
Why even bother adventuring, seems I'm at the top already.

Hail god emperor trump!
John Nguyen
Clearly you're the demigod of rooftops.
Matthew James
That actually sounds like a pretty cool thing to have in a setting with lots of gods. He would be a patron of builders and thieves. Sounds like something out of discworld.
