    Well, I'm not all that creative so I've turned to you guys for some help.

    I've been working on a prototype for an online battle arena type of game. No, it's nothing like DoTA or LoL. It's an Action combat based arena, which is to feature different game modes like team deathmatch, capture the flag, and others.

    The game takes place in the medieval era and is going to have realistic graphics (Not anime based). We're planning on implementing blood splatters as-well, so it will definitely be aimed towards the more mature (15+) crowds.

    I'm trying to find a name that I like to start building some followers on the project, set up a blog and so forth. It's getting to the stages where I can start talking about it freely and letting people know the development status.

    So, let me hear it.

    Names, That I can use (of course), for my online battle arena.

    Just hit the "Generate" button over and over until the perfect name shows up.

    *falls of chair laughing* It's awesome! :D

    Names are horrible :confused: Anyone in the games industry can testify on that. Some people got a talent for this but most don't... I personally brake it down to get some structure in my work.

    Use an Excel sheet, its equal in google docs or anything similar. Name the columns into "prefix", "name", "sufix" and "subtitle". I am not picky with grammatics, I just add words that could be the start of a title in the "prefix" as an example... I then proceed with marking words that I like with green color, those that I dislike with red. I recompile the list on a separate sheet with only green words if it gets too long.
    Some words or a combination of words can also carry the message of the name even when you abbreviate them. "Voxel as an example is still understandable if you abbreviate it to "Vox". Voxel World -> VoxWorld. You can also take it one step further and create a made-up name: "Voxel World" -> "VoxWol". It is easy to pronounce, remember and is unique but people would still get it when they play the game or see screenshots...
