Persephone Emerald Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 There's a pretty good list of available last names now for anyone wishing to pay for a new avatar name. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearl Trueheart Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 I wonder how long it will be till Osborne is removed from the list, Wicken didn't take too long and I'm glad I snagged it when I did for my main. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zambe Boo Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 Wow that is a really good list this round. I see those last names being very popular. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zalificent Corvinus Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 They should add some Viking themed names to the list, for all of SL's Scandiwegians, like @Orwar Siggurdsson Bluetooth Hairybreeks Grimsson Something like that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zalificent Corvinus Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 I wonder... Is "Xochitl" intended as a "Mayan" name, or as Uzbek for "wish"? Hmm Gotalotabotl Xochitl - Perfect name for a Mayan Milk Delivery diver. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm Gotalotabotl Xochitl - Perfect name for a Mayan Milk Delivery diver. I was just wondering how it was pronounced. Is it "zoch-til", "x-och-til", "z-ogh-til". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to know how Mayan sounds, watch Mel Gibson's "Apocalypto" since all the dialog is in Mayan. I think the ch is like the ch in Scottish Loch, or in German, and the tl is said as tl, not til. "Zokh-tl" maybe? Not that it matters much in SL, as nobody habitually using voice-spam will have a clue about Mayan anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sid Nagy Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 They ain't as bad as usual, but still... most of them are still meh in my book. Not one that get's me excited to pull my wallet. If I were a night I would go for Ravenwood, but I'm not. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That last names still on the available list apparently. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Mistwood Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 I kinda like "so chill" Some online pronunciation thing: "The name Xochitl is not originally from Spanish but from Nahuatl, the language of the Aztecs.1 The correct way to pronounce it is "Sochitl," with the accent on the L being very subtle and almost imperceptible.2 However, some people of European extraction may use "Sóchi" or "Sóchil," which is similar to "so chill," accenting the o. It is also common and acceptable to use "so-chee," which is the Hispanicized version of "xchitl," the Nahuatl word for flower.0 Xóchitl is a given name that is somewhat common in Mexico and among Chicana/os.1" 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sid Nagy Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 Yummy Sausage, but I recon that was one of the first to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My money would have been on "Big" as the first forename to get paired with "Sausage", because SL is that kind of "Game", right? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claireschen Hesten Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 I wonder how long it will take for someone to come up with something suggestive for Morehead. Not entirely sold on Finchfield i can't see it without my brain automatically thinking of an RL place called Finchingfield 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InnerCity Elf Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 From the new selection, I quite like 'Ravenwood', but not enough to pay the equal of my monthly electricity bill. Wondering what the idea behind 'Zennor' is, something about zen? Or was it picked to have one that looks kind of "neutral"? I did put in some suggestions, when it started, but don't remember if they also asked to submit the story/idea behind the name if not obvious. Also, do they keep old suggestions for future consideration, or do they toss everything after picking the latest batch and only new ones are in the draw for the next round... and is there a public alphabetical list of already existing and 'rejected, forget it' names, so people don't keep submitting the same ones? Or are there so few new suggestions by now, that they make up three quarters of the new names themselves... Also, I'm pondering far too many inconsequential things...

Garnet Psaltery Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Zennor sounds like a good name for a pirate, proud of their ancestral village in Cornwall, or perhaps yearning to see a mermaid. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I changed my name back in December, and it was a struggle as I prefer names that are "normal". At the time there were only three that I considered as such. Sure the childish and anime names are "cute" and some people like them, but some of us wanna be boring and normal and at the price LL charges, deserve more choices. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rasterscan Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 I 'toyed' with Sausage ( Doc Sausage here to help ) but 'plumped' for Zennor in the end. Then I snapped my wallet shut before it went any further. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
