In this particular world my character is a "Bard" which means that he sings songs that are beneficial to him and his friends and detrimental to his enemies. He also hacks at the baddies with his two swords (because one is never enough.) Now, the question. Way back when I created my character I named him Malische. I have no idea where I came up with that, so don't ask :) Now Malische has advanced to the level where I get to choose a surname for him. It should sound good and it can be humorus or intimidating. Can you all give suggestions? I would love something musical or storyish (read: Bardic) but that is not a requirement. The only real rules are that the name cannot reference any real world people/places/things and cannot already be taken by someone else. Here are a couple to get you started: Malische Malefic Malische Lachrymose Malische Tunebender Thanks for your help!

Can you give us a little to go on?

Malishe Marcato Malishe Mysterioso Malishe Piccolo Malishe Furioso Malishe Celeste (don't ask me why) Malishe Moderato Malishe Concertino Malishe Allegretto Malishe Al Fine (I really like this one best.) I can come up with a whole lot more, but this is a start to get others thinking.

I think that may influence what people will come up with. I read it as Mal (al like in Allen) ish as in fish BUT I realize some people might say it as Mal - eesh Malefic sounds too much like the French maléfique which means evil. If you are stomping out evil I wouldn't think you'd want to call yourself that.

Mal as in California ische as in Fish It has no derivation. Just a couple of syllables thrown together. Keep them coming- something will strike me like lightning soon enough. :) Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: We are all eccentric in our own ways #73432 06/19/02 12:28 PM Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 6,296 Piedmont Region of Virginia, U...
