    My favorite that I've see is Ned Stark's Head. I have no idea what that means, but it's hilarious.

    When I finally made an Argonian all versions of "Carries A Big Stick" I could think of were already taken. Just as well. I would have been tempted to redo the whole Thieves Guild quest line just so he take Walks-Softly on a date.

    What I did name him, which makes more sense if you recall recent science about dinosaurs, is Has-No-Feathers. Besides, his skin is fairly yellowish.

    I had a similar problem. Wanted drinks like fish. Tried many different drinks like names and eventually settled on Swims Like Nord.
    and then the parrot said, "must be the water mines green too."

    If this was a Warden Argonian healer then the name would be almost perfect. Bearly-Heals.

    I'm not really in to weird, cringe-worthy, or profane names, but I did name my rarely played Stam Warden Mallea Maleficarum, which history buffs and Latin readers will get as a feminized version of Malleus Maleficarum, which was a 15th Century primer on the identification and punishment of witches. It translates as Hammer of Witches or Witches' Hammer. I picked this obscure reference because she is my one and only non-magicka-using alt. And, yes, I am a history nerd.

    I was amused by a guard in Sadrith Mora calling my khajiit a "tail-arsed s'wit", so I later made an argonian by that name.
    My orc is called Ylen Sankia Priha. 10 points to anyone who knows what that means, and an additional parrot badge for getting the reference.

    And an Argonian bow/bow NB named Makes-Fier-Wrong, named after a friend and guildie, @fierackas, who said you never see bow/bow Argonian builds.

    Ah! Unknown soldier... Had to reach way back in the brain for that one. Something like "young chubby boy?"

    If you didn't look it up then you earned your 10 points and parrot badge :) Well done in any case. Minor correction: "quite a chubby lad (boy)" - and so is my orc, ofc.

    One of my oldest characters is an Imperial called *** Vulgara. I like to be upfront and lore-friendly.
    I did have another couple of similar Imperial latin phrases for what two bored ladies of the Imperial city might get up to if the inclination took them which were never banned but eventually retired. Stick to Latin Greek or biological, our modern education systems ensure that no one ever gets offended.
    Edit but apparently the forum does. Oh my. Ah well.

    I have a Khajiit Stamsorc from way back shortly after launch: Skooma Steve (Shadowheart).

    Had to add the last name as someone had already taken Skooma Steve.

    I also created Carl Brutananadilewski one time, Breton and looked just like him, just because I could.
