d12 to determine how many letters
This is how I'm naming everything from now on.
try wizards of the coast D&D character name generator
primarily made for 4th ed D&D but it works for anyone.
Babynames.com or a translation site. Example: I was making an unbreakable fighter for a friend's German like setting. I translated iron heart to Eisenherz. I have a name :)

So my name is 'W'.
May I suggest 2d4+1 for number of letters?
Using the above method: Lirele Wis.
A distinctly meh name.
Using the above method: Lirele Wis.
A distinctly meh name.
But useful as inspiration. Lirele can become Lorelei, or Lissele. Wis can become Wisp, or White, or Whiskers.
Lorelei Whiskers - anyone need a name for their Familiar?
Using the above method: Lirele Wis.
A distinctly meh name.
I like it as LEER-uh-lay.

Hello all!
I'm horrible with naming my characters and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions they would be willing to throw my way. My character is a Varisian Male who is a fighter (phalanx fighter archetype).
Thanks!

So my name is 'W'.I LOVE it. It's perfect. Such inspiration! My next character is going to be a single letter now. I've been having problems thinking up a name for my Aasimar Inquisitor anyways! *rolls die* And the winner is... K. :)
Now, to fight the urge to put her in sunglasses and a black suit waving around a wand of confusion everywhere she goes. =P
no, a wand of memory lapse!!

If he happens to be Shoanti, consider that they are often named for their exploits, and thus their names change periodically, which gets you around the problem of choosing a perfect, super awesome name that you are then stuck with for the campaign.
You can be Beast Tamer, then Goblin Slayer, then Giant Crusher, etc. Kind of fun if it suits the character.
Another idea is to give him a nickname and keep his real name sort of a secret. I had a character who in his youth took up with some gypsies. All of them preferred to keep their real identities secret, so even to each other they were known by nicknames. By chance they were playing cards when we met, so their leader nicknamed me "Ace." It stuck throughout an epic campaign. Nobody, even my closest brothers-in-arms, ever learned my name. Not that there was really anything to hide, but it was kind of fun. Got sorta funny when I was knighted as "Sir Ace."

I had been imagining it as Lir-ah-lee, which is a nice name, The "Wis" part kinda lets me down though.
What is the character's personality? Rough and silent type? Loud and Charismatic?

People will either name their character based on:
1. the profession; or2. their appearance; or
3. their reputation; or
4. their real name.
Varisians reminds me of gypsies when I read into their background and stuff.
Have you thought of looking up for some gypsy names to use?
Hamlet Alabaster, Gus Greenbottle, Gordon Willowsnapper, Buck Bubbles,
Butch McBigstrong.
I like to think of words in English and use an English to Latin online dictionary to translate them and then use what I like best as my PC names.
Example: "Hero" in English is "Vir Fortis" in Latin, so it makes for some pretty cool names.

My brother suggested Richard Longshaft.
As far as my character's background is concerned, I imagine at some point in his youth, he witnessed a military group either practicing drill or engaged in battle and became enthralled with their precision as well as the pomp and ceremony surrounding professional soldiers. From this imprint, he would take a more formalized and structured approach to fighting and eventually find himself as a low-level soldier in the Pathfinder Society. The Society allows him to hone his art while also presenting opportunities to sate the wanderlust of his Varisian heritage.
As far as his personality, I imagine it to be different depending on his situation and surroundings. When home with trusted friends and loved ones, he is energetic and outgoing. Though, when dealing with his training or the Society, he approaches his work with a single-minded determination that boarders on obsession. Strangers are treated with a polite mistrust.
At least, that's what I've got so far. I like the idea of keeping his true name hidden and going by a nickname. Hmmm...thanks for the ideas!
