who wants to Help me name my scout character? Options

[Lady Saga]

Hello fellow forumites. I am Lady Saga, and today I'd like to ask for your help in naming my future scout character.

He's gonna have a North American woods Indian sort of vibe to him, Cherokee, perhaps. If I were to guess his demeanor, I would say he's more of a peaceful hunter/gatherer type, rather than a warrior.

His "job" will be to scout locations none of my characters have been to yet. I'll be using the paper map to guide him and his horse. Chances are he'll mostly hunt moose and bunnies and peaceful sorts of wildlife. Oh, wolves, too. Maybe bears when he gets really advanced.

I tried going on some Cherokee websites, looking for some simple names. Believe it or not this is harder than it sounds. All of these websites want money, or want you to buy a book or something. Or they don't have what I'm looking for.

The best I can come up with so far is Fleeted Foot and Eagle Scout, but I wanna get more ideas. It helps to have your character's name planned out before actually creating him or her, I've found. In the past I used to start creating characters. Oops! What should I name him or her? Next thing you know I'm stuck! Naming is very important for me.

Hey... no fair copying! I just rolled up a Redguard scout last night. Though anyone calls her a male will get first and arrow to the groin then mauled by a wild animal.

I didnt know of your scout...it's a total coincidence, honest. I'm just thinking I can most-easily make a Redguard look like an American Indian.

I will not call her a sir, no worries. Guess she's not much of a "Mazoga" huh?

Those are all some names I copied from a baby names book a long time ago, to help me come up with names for characters. I just skimmed through them to find ones that seemed 'scouty'. I do not see any names that correspond to "scout", so I am not sure about combining it with anything else.

Try looking through some regular baby name sites. Like Baby Name Guide

Wow. Okay, thanks, as always.

Hey off-topic, but what's up with Blademaster over in the Guns thread in OB: general? He seems kinda mean.

Sweet! My guys is Native American inspired. Brown skin, long hair, loin cloth and a hunter.

But as for names, well...Ratohnhake:ton?

Graci. What does taht mean?

I think the word "troll" sums it up, along with Echonite. I have decided not to reply again today on that topic, so I do not rise to the bait. Better to hang out here with people who are not trying to pick a fight.

Good to know. Yea, he's taking on the entire room! What a little ..... <-rhymes with witch.

I can't help but always wonder whom I'm talking to on the other end. When folks get that trollish, what is it that makes them that way?

I liked your comeback, Coin. You're right....everyone is offering opinions and ideas in that thread. Nothing more. The discussion was rolling along pretty smoothly, an amazing feat in and of itself for such a controversial subject, until Blademaster07 showed up. I'll have to remember that name.
