Toaster Retribution he/him Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 Which Brandon character has the coolest/funniest/best name? 1
StormblessDave Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 The Lord Ruler and God King are definitely the most creative 1
Farnsworth Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 I like Tonk Fah. I've never heard a name like it in the fantasy world. 2
btcannon Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 I think Dalinar and Kaladin are easy-to-overlook-yet-really-solid fantasy character names. I feel like the really fit their personalities as well. Boring answer maybe, but those are my favorites. I also really like Hhrathen and Odium.
ryshadium90 Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 I always thought the really simple names from Mistborn were really good character names. I have a tendency to make complicated names when really all I need are a few letter. Vin, Dox, Ham, Breeze, simple things 1
PlanetReelo she/her Posted November 10, 2017 Posted November 10, 2017 I love the name Elhokar. Sylphrena and Kaladin are close seconds. Oh, and it goes without saying that Szeth deserves a spot on the list too. 1
Penumbra Posted November 10, 2017 Posted November 10, 2017 I -really- like the name Jasnah. Amd Vin, in it's simplicity.
AbsentKeeper he/him Posted November 10, 2017 Posted November 10, 2017 (edited) Pattern Quote "Name is numbers," Pattern said. "Many numbers. Hard to say. Pattern... Pattern is fine." Edited November 10, 2017 by Cowmanthethird 2
Farnsworth Posted November 10, 2017 Posted November 10, 2017 Kelseir, in his in-world pronunciation, is awesome. Same goes for most of the Scadrial names, but Kel-see-aih is pretty great. 2
Taliax none (name only) Posted November 11, 2017 Posted November 11, 2017 I really like Taravangian's name, even if it's way easier to just call him Mr. T 4
Knghtstlker he/him Posted November 11, 2017 Posted November 11, 2017 It's odd to me, listening to Dune, and hearing Duke Atreides home world's name read aloud Caladan, sounds strikingly similar to Kaladin.
Hrathen667 Posted November 14, 2017 Posted November 14, 2017 Obviously Hrathen is a fav of mine but I also really like Raoden and Kaladin 1
Cosmernaut Posted November 14, 2017 Posted November 14, 2017 Kaladin Stormblessed rolls off the tongue so well. It's evocative of a high fantasy warrior. Hoid takes a little getting used to, but once you do, it sounds like it would be the name of some trickster god.
Sallin Zeras he/him Posted November 14, 2017 Posted November 14, 2017 I have no idea why, but I love all of the Heralds names, they just sound like, regal, and royal, I don’t know how to explain it. I also love Hrathen, it’s just so amazing. I like Khrissalla and Nazh, which is probably not his full name, but its storming awesome still. I love Kaladin, too. It just a perfect name for the kind of character he is, I love it.
Kingsdaughter613 she/her Posted November 21, 2017 Posted November 21, 2017 I like Kell and Vin with their French pronunciation. (Though I’m honestly confused by the name Rannete gives Vindication as a result.) Also Waxillium. For Stormlight I like Jasnah (which I pronounce as Yasnah), but I really love the Kholin name since most Americans can’t pronounce the ‘Kh’ and I can. (This is also why I love Khuzdul.) For Threnody I love Silence and William Ann’s names. And I love the double vowel of Aonic names and the stutter of Hallandrin ones. 1
Borio Singaldi he/him Posted November 23, 2017 Posted November 23, 2017 Numuhukumakiaki'aialunamor. So fun to say once you learn how to say and spell it right. Also, Waxillium, Hrathen, Taravangian, and Cephandrius Maxtori. 2

If you didn’t, how do you know Hoid had the surname Maxtori at some point? Because I’m pretty sure I haven’t seen it published... I really want to read that thesis... 1

I haven't gotten ahold of Dragonsteel. I remember reading it in Mistborn: Secret History... nope, nevermind. Just checked. I think I only know it because I read it on the Coppermind website. No source other than that.
Kingsdaughter613 she/her Posted December 1, 2017 Posted December 1, 2017 Ah, well. I agree that it is a cool name though.
CarolaDavar she/her Posted December 2, 2017 Posted December 2, 2017 Personally, Rayse, Sazed, and Taravangian sound cool to me (and Szeth is great tooo)
ryshadium90 Posted December 2, 2017 Posted December 2, 2017 I also liked the the Thaylen names. Tvlakv, Rysn, Tozbek. Nothing like a bunch of consonants mashed together to make your day. 2
Unlicensed Hemalurgist he/him Posted December 2, 2017 Posted December 2, 2017 How can you not love the name Taravangian? It's just so fluttery and arch.
