I know there was a post about this before but its so bad I believe it needs to be commented on again. Has anyone taken a look at the list of last name choices lately? They completely and totally SUCK! I'd really like to know who has this job at linden cuz they need to either be fired or re-directed to a different dept. Come on linden, really, do you HONESTLY think these are good name choices??

I looked about a week ago, and if it is the same list, I totally agree, they suck!

Sommerland, did you know that LL recently began dividing up the list of names among 24 name servers? The list you get depends on the server you land on. You can, however, see the entire list and pick the server you register on using Adz Childs' great website,

I just tried it and got mostly German sounding names (Birnberg, Schulmann, ...). Maybe it's because my IP address points to Austria.
Do the names suck more than usual? Maybe if you're looking for a French sounding name ![]() |

maybe all the Germans complained there wasn't enough German names, it's good to have different nationality names, but it would be good not to block release them and have some kind of mix

ya know, i mentioned this on an slcn broadcast once, and i was joking at the time, but i wonder if its true
"do you think that the names like "kitchensink" or "desk" are results of the lindens going home at night then jotting down the names of the items they see around the house? (laughter)" but, that may be true, the last names that are names, probley come from pulling random names out of the air if you ask ME! we should be able to make our OWN last names |

I decided to set up a 1940's film star-esque alt last night...and didn't, because the surnames just weren't suitable.
They were entirely Jewish/Germanic sounding; nothing against those two groups, but whatever happened to having lists of surnames with a bit of variety in them? When I first registered there was 'something for everyone', as it were; traditional English surnames, French, German, Chinese, Spanish, Italian, Japanese etc etc etc. Checking http://www.slnamewatch.com/botlog/last_avail_log.html didn't help much either - they were all pretty much the same, and each server only had around 35-40 different name options.. I had to wonder - are they trying to put people off from joining due to the asset server issues? ![]() |

All right all you smarty-pantses. If you think you're so smart, lets see you come up with a list of names that's better. (snickers...this ought to be good)
I'm throwing down the gauntlet. This afternoon I'll be posting my own list of 20 or so names that I think LL ought to offer. Let's see your best stuff. _____________________

I can see a lot of head room for silly compound last names that wouldn't necessarily appeal to new residents. But it's still fun using the current lists to come up with names for gimmick alts I would never ever have the time to play.

Here's some all inspired by Stevie Nicks/Fleetwood Mac. Warning, many of these are probably female oriented-

See how much fun this thread got! You all owe me 1L.
![]() Escellent lists. I especially like Desmond's list of wrestling moves. I would sign up an alt named "Suplex" just to get the name. As promised, here are mine: Nomnomnom Sievebottom Squarepeg Easteregg Stinkey Heavybag Lugnut Squeakywheel Mousetrap Flergle Hoosits Spankmonkey Barometer McSpookeypants Gwomboggle Eyeball Itchy Tineacuris Einstein Elvis _____________________

Lol I just looked at the list at SLnamewatch. They really do suck. It looks like they took they them right out of a German telephone book or something. Someone with a lot of pull at Linden must be German. Nothing against that country but how about a little VARIETY?? Ohh...ohh better go reserve "Schpigelblatt" before it changes. What a joke!
Lotsa good names here tho. I say they transfer these over and drop the others. |
