I am just a nerd I created the name Sazul for my first AD&D characters and have stuck with it on every game I have ever played.

Whats that, using the name Who?

Using names which are more than one word or a string of words.

From the naming policy
Consist of multiple (generally more than 2) words strung together to create partial or complete sentences (i.e. Inyourface, Welovebeef, Howareyou) (does not apply to Guild names)

Good thing you didn't turn it to Deuteronomy. You would have gotten the "name already taken" spiel. :)
 
Oddbob is a derivation of Oddjob from Golden Eye for the N64... and that inspired me to make my online handle Oddbob.

Odale was assigned to me by Mythic, maker of Dark Age of Camelot. Odale was my Friar originally named Oddbob, but since we were on an RP (role playing) server, it got changed. So Odale stuck.

Klangdon was made up by a friend of mine when I got WoW.

Osirys is the Egyptian god of Death, but it is spelled Osyrys, and that one was "taken". Pretty good name for a Warlock if I may say so :D.

...I think thats it...

Melko was a name I used in DAOC which I stole from Tolkien a derivative of Melkor who was basically Sauron's boss.

Morgoth came from Tolkien's invented language of Sindarin and means "Black Enemy"; meaning "Tyrant" or "Oppressor".[1] His name as first mentioned in Ainulindalë (the creation story of Middle-earth and first section of The Silmarillion) is Melkor, which means 'He Who Arises In Might' in Quenya, another of Tolkien's languages.[2]Since he, like all the Ainur, had another true name in Valarin (the language of the Ainur before Time), but this name was not recorded. The Sindarin equivalent of Melkor was Belegûr, but it was never used; instead a deliberately resembling name Belegurth, meaning 'Great Death', was employed, though still rarely.

Kigumy I got when I had this old call center job, this guy called with the name Kigumy and I thought it would be an awesome name for a Ninja and the Rogue is the closest thing to a WoW ninja.

Margrethe was a main character in Robert A. Heinlein's, Job: A Comedy of Justice.
 
My very first WoW charater was named Judgment, and everyone used to say, "Was Judgement taken?" and I would say no, it was actually not until recently that the "e" was ADDED to the word, before about 1990 the "e" was dropped when adding -ment to Judge...However, now it is correct to spell it with or without an "e"...
 
Papatoad~

I was always called Toad but my family till this day everyone refers how i would( an still do ) watch everything, and I would squat like a toad when I was little.

My girlfriend and her kids are always amazed that I can be sitting on the couch and get to the kitchen like cat springs. My 240 pound frame belies the fact I practice Aikido 3 times a week and have always been active in some way. So the kids like to tease and play to see if they can get out of the room before I get to them. It hasn’t worked yet.

Anyways when my teenage son had his son, one Christmas, they said go to Grandpa. And I said, I’m not sure I like the thought of being a 36 year old grandfather. So my mom started calling my Papatoad around my grandson, well it caught on. (I did not discourage it.)

PLUS, no matter what game I play, the name is never taken. Most everyone thinks the name is pretty cool
