Names for a Thief

Post by Anonymous98223 »

So, I've been trying to think of a name for my Bosmer Thieves Guild character, and well I'm stumped. I'm afraid I'm just not very imaginative when it comes to names. I want something that feels like a Bosmeri name yet also sounds mischievous (not evil mind you, hes part of the Thieves Guild not the Dark Brotherhood), so any help would be well appreciated.

Spark: You should try "Raven Shadownight". That sounds neat.
Dark: Pssst. (whispers into Spark's ear) ----Anvil ----- (more whispers) -- in Latin.
Spark: What! You kidding me?
Baurus: Our job is to get the Emperor out of situations like this. Though I'll admit, things aren't going exactly to plan.

Casandra: At the moment, the deadliest weapon at my disposal is a goblin's head on a stick. I'd be worried if this was the plan.

Why don't you go for broke and call him "Princess Moonshadow"? 8)

Seriously though, what do you think about "Lokhir"? It's like a "Bosmerised" version of "Loki", the Norse god of mischief. Also known as "PUNY GOD"

"Lokhir" sounds more Nord to me . . . probably because Loki is Norse. :P

There's a list of names on UESP. :] Right here. Plenty of lore-friendly names to choose from. (Most Bosmer don't have family names, btw.)

Or you could just go with the norm and name him Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way.

Well, he wanted mischief, so it seemed appropriate. ;) And I got the idea from the names list - there are several that end in "ir" and there's a lot of Ls and Hs there.
