smnolimits43 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 I'm sitting here watching the movie First Knight, and it has inspired me to make a name based on Lancelot and the knights of the round table. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowbunny Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Maybe have a medieval-esque European name, like Baldwin or Bertram. I saw a knight toon on Everlasting with the name "Cedric" which I thought was pretty cool. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turric Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 I am something of an amateur Arthurian scholar, having read just about everything I can on the subject. There are tons of lesser known knights in the stories. One of the more comprehensive websites I have come across on the matter is this: http://nightbringer.se/nightbringer/index.html There is just butt tons of information on this website about everything Arthurian. And while Lancelot is my least favorite KOTR, for I think he plays better as a villain, my favorite knights are either Gawain or Sir Lamorak / Lamorac. I also think that Queen Guinevere makes for a better villain as well. Another good knight that was a later addition to the stories is Lohengrin, which comes from German (Continental) additions to the tales in the late middle ages. He is said to be a son of Parzifal (Percival or Peredur in the original Welsh). The most common or well known KOTR include: Gawain / Gawaine (usually listed as the best before the addition of Lancelot to the stories) Bedwyr / Bedivere (sometimes listed as the most trusted knight) Lamorak / Lamorac Mordred, the Bane of Britain (Arthur's illegitimate son, and nephew) Lancelot Bors Tristan Percival / Peredur / Parzifal (almost good enough for the Holy Grail) Galahad (only knight good enough to find the Holy Grail) Cai / Kay Owain / Yvain Culhwch (Arthur's cousin, one of the oldest knights, even before the addition of the Round Table to the stories) Tegyr Cador Agrivain / Agrivaine Gareth Gaheris Ector / Hector (Cai's father) Pellinore Tor Aglovale Gereint Lot Nestor Hoel Fflewdwr Colgrevance Ider (Knight of the Frogs!) Brunor the Black Lucan Dagonet the Fool Griflet There are so many more. These are the just a few that came to mind within a minute or so. Let me know if I can be more help. This is my favorite subject in the world and I did several research papers on the topic in school and grad school. 1 5 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarlet Shocker Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 As others have said you can play it straight as a medieval knight type character and choose a legendary name or even an historical name (Tudor, Norman or Plantagenet springs to mind) but you can also bring a spoof element in, or maybe even a take on a knightly type comicbook character: Black Knight springs to mind as the most obvious example. You could even go for something earlier, say late Saxon; anything from Alfred to Ethelred and plenty in between, or even Carolingian or the proto-Holy Roman Empire (it wasn't holy, it wasn't roman and it wasn't an empire but otherwise it did what it said on the tin.) The Ghost Slaying Axe. The very best there is. When you absolutely, positively got to kill every motherspectre in the room, accept no substitutes.

Well, I think that is more commonly known as King Arthur and the Kings of the Round Table, but in the comic book universe, I can see how King Arthur might be confused with someone else ... As far as Lancelot, (add "Sir" as desired) Lancelot du Lac Lancelot of the Lake Lancelot the Brave Lancelot the Chaste Lancelot the Pure Lancelot the Virtuous Lancalot Lancellot Lancealot Lancelott Lanselot Spearalot Spearelot Spearsalot Spearselot 1 If someone posts a reply quoting me and I don't reply, they may be on ignore. (It seems I'm involved with so much at this point that I may not be able to easily retrieve access to all the notifications) Some players know that I have them on ignore and are likely to make posts knowing that is the case. But the fact that I have them on ignore won't stop some of them from bullying and harassing people, because some of them love to do it. There is a group that have banded together to target forum posters they don't like. They think that this behavior is acceptable. Ignore (in the forums) and /ignore (in-game) are tools to improve your gaming experience. Don't feel bad about using them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snarky Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Take the name you want. Seriously. I do not know the name you have in mind. Say you choose "Mark' If nothing is available that you like from the below list look at the ones closest. Then research that in the language you want, say Gaelic, Marcas (not listed below) Then find the alternate spellings. before standardized spellings certain languages (most) were all over the place with how stuff in spelled. This was a very simple name. Take something like Oswald and you are off to the races.... In other languages Belarusian: Марк Bulgarian: Маркo, Марк Breton: Mark Catalan: Marc Classical Syriac: ܡܪܩܘܣ Coptic: Ⲙⲁⲣⲕⲟⲥ Czech: Marek Welsh: Marc Danish: Mark German: Markus, Marcus Greek: Μάρκος English: Mark, Marc, Marcus Esperanto: Marko Spanish: Marcos Estonian: Markko Basque: Marco Finnish: Markku French: Marc Friulian: Marc Lombard: March Irish: Marc, Marcas Croatian: Marko Hungarian: Márk Italian: Marco Cornish: Margh Latin: Marcus Lithuanian: Markas Latvian: Marks, Marcis, Mārcis, Mareks Dutch: Mark Norwegian: Markus Polish: Marek Portuguese: Marco, Marcos Romanian: Marcu Russian: Марк Sardinian: Marcu Slovak: Marek Slovene: Marko Serbian: Марко Swedish: Mark, Markus Turkish: Markos Ukrainian: Марко, Марк Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Techwright Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Not to steal from @Turric's good list, but I maintained a couple of lists of Arthurian characters back when I played No Man's Sky, and used the names for system naming. Probably the biggest list I worked with was the following: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Arthurian_characters 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
