The name game.

Judging by the comments on the boards, Hexxat doesn't appear to be a particularly popular choice for the name of the new female thief NPC (and yes, I do realise I am making some pretty big assumptions here and in fact her name may not be Hexxat, she may not be a thief and she quite possibly isn't female).

Anyway, here's a challenge, if you were going to name a new female thief for BG2 what name would you choose?

    Well if it were up to me I'd replace her with Safana. I'd of course have her drop her BG2 Stupid-Evil Kit and become a Swashbuckler kit instead. Because piracy is sexier.

    How about Mildred, or Bertha?

    So basically... you want Isabela?

    In keeping with fantasy traditions she really needs an apostrophe somewhere in there. He'xxat?

    Lydiakalanirowealeekundemondisha. I imagine a thief with such a lovey name could very likely hail from Afyal, the Isle of the Elephant, which is a large isle kingdom at the eastern edge of Zakhara. Besides, more exotic NPC's native to other continents of Abeir-Toril might spice things up a bit.

    I'm kinda a fan of anagrams. Perhaps her name is going to be changed, but with the same letters?

    Thexxa, Texxah, Xethxa, Haxxet (lol), Texhax, Hextax, The Axx, and my personal favorite, X.X. Heat.

    @etagloc -- HeXXXat?

    Hexxat kind of sounds like Hecate. Which sounds kind of like Tecate. So...

    Tecate. Every time you say her name you have to take a drink =p

    Hecksat.

    Just kidding, I don't like Hexxat or anything similar. Judy? Large Marge? I don't know but Hexxat is terrible terrible with a double x for emphasis.

    "Hexxat" sounds cool. Sort of like it came from that WarChasers map in WarCraft III. I like it.

    ooooh! I know this one! I would name her...

    Hexxat!?


  • AscerionAscerion Member Posts: 271
    For some reason, I can't disassociate Hexxat with Id Software's Hexen. So whenever I read her name, It conjures images of punching orc-things with a spiked gauntlet. God, now I feel really old.

    A first I thought Hexxat was hilarious. I still do, but it has grown on me a lot. I am sure that once I play the game it will be strange to think she was ever called something different.

    But for posterity, I would have named her... Actually, I have no idea. Maybe Jane. XP
  • etaglocetagloc Member Posts: 349
    I kinda hope she is some kinda weird race, else the name is retarded ; D

    I definitely think the name sounds vaguely Infernal in that way devils and demons in Forgotten Realms have ludicrous-sounding villainy names, whether she is some kind of Tiefling or Devil or Demon remains to be seen.

    Personally, I am hoping so just so she can get with the grand racial diversity of the Evil party, which has a half-orc, human, elf, and dwarf at the present.
  • KamigoroshiKamigoroshi Member Posts: 5,870
    Rather than infernal/abyssal, I think her name sounds more draconian or yuan-ti. Hm, might be fun to have a yuan-ti pureblood in your party.
  • EudaemoniumEudaemonium Member Posts: 3,199
    See, that would be super cool. I would heartily approve.

    I'm not up to speed on all the supplemental rulebooks, but I don't think you can do that. There isn't a race type called "retarded".
