Not in, but I think Nena could be a good name for your character.

And we have a winner! I sat down with this friday night, had a glass of wine and thought about it.. then suddenly my brain shifted into a completely different track. For some reason, I started thinking of old Linux Mint releases (Celena, Elyssa..), then on recent Manjaro releases (Illyria, Kyria).. but I found it hard to Irish them up enough. Then I started typing words into the "in different languages" page and seeing what came up.

I looked up a bunch of different words, then I thought "why not continue the coffee theme?". I use different handles on almost everything, but coffee is undeniably my lifeblood. Eventually I went for the Irish word for coffee, "caife" and tried to find a fitting end to it. The end result.. Caifeara. I don't know how to pronounce it, but I'm satisfied enough with it, and I'm back in the game! I also changed the character to be a fire elementalist before finalizing the creation, and.. coffee is supposed to be served hot. I actively deny the existence of cold-served coffee.

chevkoch: The way I now go about naming is to come up with a concept that is the essence of what I want my character to represent in the game world. Then I'll look up words that describe that concept in different languages and see if I can find something I like and go from there modifying it, if necessary. For that I use indifferentlanguages.com.
That means your advice helped me find the name. But you are not in, so I'd say Ryan333 was the one closest to the mark with the tips on naming.

This was fun. I have picked up more keys for other giveaways. Just gotta think up other clever themes for them. And I'll be back here of course if I need advice for naming characters, or if I get another dog and need a good name (the Gogdog?) :)

This really was fun, an interesting topic to ponder for sure. Glad my suggestion helped you a bit. Happy playing and forklifting :)
