Hero names

[Xonok]

I'm working on a map where the usual ladder units are used as heroes. As such, I need names for them. There's far too many of them to think up all of them myself.

Currently I need names for those heroes(at least 12 for each):
Priest
Spell Breaker
Shaman
Crypt Fiend
Necromancer
Ogre Magi
Satyr Hellcaller

All contributors will be credited with a note in the quest log about how many names they made. I might do something special for those that consistently keep helping.
I'll update the list when I need new ones. The heroes in the list are those that I have mostly decided on how to make.

priest - orlan
spell breaker - garland
shaman - arkain
cryptfiend - qui'raj
necromancer - kuzan
ogre magi - gar'nogal
satyr hellcaller - siberius

i don't know, my ideas sounds pretty crappy.

More confidence please. Those ideas look like I could use them somewhere, but not on those specific heroes. (the ogre magi is spot on though)
Mostly I'd like the names to consist of 2 parts. For instance, "Garland" could use an additional name. I'll add one and use this one too though, since there's no real limit on how many names I can use.

They don't seem too cheesy to me. Cruel humor is occasionally fitting.
"Golgond the Half-blind" - Laughed way too hard at this, thinking about how most ogres have one eye.
Most of those seem fitting. I'd use some of them elsewhere though or alter some:
Alain Rorik - Sounds like a dwarven spellcaster of some kind.
"Forgotten Hambiri" -> "Hambiri the Forgotten"
Overall I prefer to use the latter form. I'll still keep both forms around for flavor though.(on separate names)

May I ask what method you use to generate those names?
About satyrs, I think there might be some hints in how WoW satyrs are named.

May I ask what method you use to generate those names?

I just make up stuff based on what naming conventions I know the WC universe uses for said characters.

-Human names tend to be actual English names (including ones derived from other languages) spelled in unusual ways, or are names that very similar to real ones, pronunciation wise.
-Elvish names tend to have plenty of S/I/L/E's (eg. Alleria, Kael'thas)
-Nerubian names tend to sound vaguely "Egyptian", they also tend to not have last names. Hence I used titles for second names.
- For Necromancers I used a similar convention to the priest but added a more overly-flashy/pompous surname scheme.
-Orcish names afaik are pretty random in terms of inspiration but they do tend to have plenty of D/R/A's. (Drek'Thar, Nazgrel etc.)
-Ogres tend to have lots of O/L/Rs and or two part names each with 1 syllable. eg. Mogor, Cho'Gall

About satyrs, I think there might be some hints in how WoW satyrs are named.

I suppose one could always just use N-elf names since Satyrs are corrupted nelfs.

I tried whether everything works right, so I implemented the Crypt Fiend names(I use a script for generating objects and sometimes it works different than I intended). I discovered that different unit types have separate hero name pools, even if names are identical.
Due to the way my map works I have a str, agi and int version of each hero, so I could let people choose their main attribute, attribute base amounts and gains.

tl;dr - It would be awesome if the str, agi and int versions of heroes had name pools with no overlap, so separate names(36 min total per hero) would make sure no overlap exists.
I can do without, but it will be more awesome with.

i love internet

 

[Xonok]

Priest - Bento XV
Ogre Magi - Shrek

Those are not really serious names.

Priest - Jorge Mario Bergoglio
Shaman - Agar'thur
Ogre Magi - Bog'dar

I googled the first and apparently he's a pope with quite a lot of controversy. Interesting to read.
About Agar'thur I feel it'll work better for someone else. Actually, I'll just add something and it'll be fitting.
Bog'dar is perfect.

Satyr Hellcaller - Dibil Goatison
