Argonian Names

SilverIce58 · August 2017

I've been thinking of renaming (and remaking) my Argonian into something more fitting towards a frost tank. I think I've got a good one, but I can't decide on a good first word for the name " 'Blank' -as-Atmora". So far I've came up with "Cold-as-Atmora" and "Stagnant-as-Atmora". Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've thought of 2 more: "Frigid-as-Atmora" and "Boreal-as-Atmora", thoughts?

I've a list of all the possible lore-friendly names for every race in Elder Scrolls. Here are the three lists for Argonians:

Or a single page you can use instead of all of that: http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Argonian_Names
There's also tons of pages with words translated into, and from, Jel, the language of the Saxhleel people. I'm not asking for places to get names from. I'm looking for advice on what sounds good.

I quite like 'biting' or 'bitter' to describe the freezing cold winds that one could imagine swirls across that continent. Interesting that 'brumal' was once more popular to describe something very cold. If i'm being honest, I don't really like 'stagnant' or 'boreal', but 'frigid' or simply 'cold' might work.

What about changing it from 'as-Atmora' to 'like-Atmora'? How wedded are you to using Atmora in the name title? If I made an Argonian with a Cyrodilic name with the theme you have in mind, I would probably go for something like 'Cold-Winds-Blowing', or something more playful, such as 'Stands-In-White'. But I know that's not what you're asking us...

Best of luck, and whatever you go for, fingers crossed it hasn't already been snapped up!

I mean, I had an argonian (currently have, but soon to change) called Xhiak-Qoa'cthuei, whose name means "Cold Rain Eyes", but I made one on the PTR and he was bigger and buffer, and just felt like what a tank should look like so I'm just going to remake him (he's only lvl 6 rn so it's fine). Anyways, I wanted to use Atmora in the name bc it's like a form of respect to the Nords, and he (the argonian) highly respects them due to their power and tenacity, so i want to incorporate it into a name.

My Argonians are Xal-ij (Sacred-Tail) and Kaj-ij Daril (Ample-Tail Seeing Everything in Ecstasy [the name of a drug, so Google tells me]).

I like to name my characters using their 'native' language. Personally I'd use the word 'stalwart' in your case.

Distant-as-Atmora?

Freezing-his/her-tail-off-in-Atmora

Just kidding, but Pure(or any synonym)-as-Atmora would be a cool name I think. The association of purity with with Arctic places is something very interesting in my opinion, that fits very well with the lore behind the Warden.

I have one Warden called "Stagnant-as-Atmora", which is a reference to how Atmora is a place of permanent winter, cannot support any civilized life, and is basically "frozen" in time.

Frosty-the-Jester, as in Krusty the Clown. Tamriel version. You can wear Jester costume and personality too.

I used Dragon Language for mine. Vulsahvith(Dark Phantom Serpent).

Frosty-as-Atmora / Icy-as-Atmora? Though for a Cyrodiilic naming convention, I always like the more playful ones, such as maybe Loves-Icy-Flakes or Fears-No-Frost.
