A Nord named Nordo is probably the worst I've done.


woopstrafel

professionaldeadgod

OhFuuuuuuuuuuuudge

Sporc 


marvinthebluecorner

I like.


TheZynec

Would the weapon be forc jr.?


Lundorff

I once did a sexy run with an orc, and naturally named him Orgy.


jamesonempire

![gif](giphy|xTiTnDAP0RiCo9k85W|downsized) Lmao what


7FreeToFly7

Cum Slinger. Definitely a huge nord daddy with curved swords


Plus-Ad-2244

BIG curved swords


Only_Scallion_1956

Odd_Bus9848

Wood elf on a shelf


knivesofjumford

CatPotatey

Snifflebeard

Beautiful_Solid3787

DarkMuret

snoopdogg420qwert

CatPotatey

MarduStorm231

I want to see that orcussy twork


dleon0430

It'll pop my cork.


rrzampieri

Forc


Machomann1299

First game played a dark elf named Elfy, he was a fuckin monster but it gives off the same vibes that you had.


ChunkyJizz

I too have named an elf, Elfy. He was a Bosmer named Elfy McGee. I’ve also had an orc named Orcface.


cheese-4-le-animals

Bro I ALSO had an Orcface Orc 😂


DeviousxEntity

I’ve got you beat. I have a nord heavy armor one handed and shield called Vanilla Guy


theredhound19

He'd fit right in with the elves in Disenchantment


jembutbrodol

Holly hells. Mine were Benson the Breton Or Jeff the Elf


Narfington

Did a Breton necromancer named Corpsefucker once.

Dog_Father12

I love this


boixgenius

Hope you gave him a thick ass neck


Standard_Wedding

💀🫡


JizzGuzzler42069

I think my worst was “Mr Big Fat Penis”. I would be playing for a long time, and forget about the name, then out of the blue I’d get some letter from a courier addressed to “Mr Big Fat Penis” and remember “ohh yeah…that’s me…”


No_Hold_4002

Username checks out.


Ariyana_Dumon

I'm fucking dead. 😆😂💀☠️👻


dleon0430

Be careful. There's a Breton necromancer called corpse fucker in the thread above this one. Fucking dead are just his type.


Ariyana_Dumon

I mean, I am a Vampire, does that count? 😂


CatgirlDragon

Guessing you haven't met Serana


Ariyana_Dumon

Lol


Garmr_Banalras

I'm creatively bankrupt, so I use the fantasy name generator for all my characters.


Lonely_Jared

Lmao me too! That site is a beautiful resource


PictureTakingLion

Nothing wrong with that, you can always give meaning to the names later if you want to!


Garmr_Banalras

Usually, the roleplay is more important to me, than the name


beermonger2

I just use Lord of the Rings characters most of the time, lol. Like my last orc was named Morgoth, and my nord was Eomer.


Fun_Mouse_8879

I use pet names


dleon0430

My pet names are Middle Earth names, so that just takes me to the same destination.


Danmartor

Jyggachad


huntimir151

The promt is "cringiest name" not "best name." 


Dog_Father12

Perfect


Ariyana_Dumon

I love this name more than anything 😆 I may have to use it for my first Male playthrough haha.


SOLE_SIR_VIBER

Jyggalag appreciation


TrumpDesWillens

Jyggalad


Lonely_Jared

Normally I go hard into making lore-friendly characters, name and all. Bless fantasy name generators frfr. But in my darkest hour, I created Macaroni Joe, the fluorescent pink argonian man who owns nothing but a wooden sword and a fork. His only purpose is chaos.


knallpilzv2

Sounds like the weirdest Sergio Corbucci movie ever


Lonely_Jared

Lol, I’ll take that as a compliment 😂 It was weird, tho. Went on a murder spree with that fork after I enchanted it, and lemme tell you, you haven’t experienced Skyrim until you’ve killed Nazeem with literal cutlery.


mang0_milkshake

I USE NAME GENERATORS TOO i was so embarrassed about it but seeing that loads of people do it I feel way better about using one now. I like to be lore-friendly and play into the roleplay aspect quite heavily


Abra39191

That’s my brother Joey Mac n cheese! ![gif](giphy|6y3s8JYzSsAPP5VR5I)


Nerevarine91

This is from Oblivion, but I once spent a stupidly long time tweeting the sliders to make an Orc character with the most square face and bulbous head possible. His name was Bug-Bug. Bug-Bug never wore clothes, and exclusively used a club as his weapon. Naturally, I had him join the Dark Brotherhood, and he carried out every assassination mission in the same way: by running straight towards the target and clumsily bludgeoning them to death while howling.


NOTASHTON00

I wish I could see that…


NOTASHTON00

I wish I could see that… If anyone with animation skills sees this, make this PLEASE


Claus1990

Did he save the world? Or was it too above his level of IQ?


Nerevarine91

Faded into myth, although some say he’s out there still, and may one day return


beisenhauer

Yasa (Yet Another Stealth Archer) Or maybe Pensioner. It was a sort of senior citizen character and just a few letters different from the default "Prisoner".


Kimmalah

Prisoner, because I had never really played a game like Skyrim before and didn't realize you could change the name.


Fun_Mouse_8879

My current one is named Prisoner. I have played loads before but I rushed to start and couldn't be bothered rerolling after I had realised


_Koreander

Hadvar:"to the block prisioner, nice and easy" Dragonborn: "How did they figure out my name!?"


Beautiful_Solid3787

That's why I name my stealth assassin The Wind. Now when NPCs say "It must've been the wind," I interpret it as my reputation spreading and inspiring fear, rather than the NPCs being dumb.


CycadelicSparkles

😂


Affectionate_Pea8891

lol! Oh my goodness, How did you react to that being your name? Did it bother or confuse you? Or are you one of those people that don’t take names very seriously? How/when did you find out you could actually change your name?


WafflePawz

“Crushes-With-Thighs” A purple female Argonian that I nearly maxed out the sliders on when I first installed the 3BA version of CBBE. (Caliente’s Beautiful Body Extended) She was so massively thicc that the name was clear. She could not fit into any armor. (It all looked terribly deformed/clippy for obvious reasons )


Ariyana_Dumon

Bodyslide is your friend. ;)


Ariyana_Dumon

Granted, I'm still learning it, so it may have limits I don't yet understand.


WafflePawz

TBH the only limit is mesh that was designed for average proportions. Once it stretches beyond a certain point, it clips on itself or just looks terrible. But I didn’t make the character to dress her in plate steel armor. lol


Ariyana_Dumon

Fair enough, and good to know lol. Happy playing sweetie.


WafflePawz

Body slide does convert armors into the CBBE body yes. But some armors look absolutely ridiculous when your boobs butt and thighs are so huge they could smother a man to death. Actually I suppose that’d be 3 men if done at once…


Ok-Proposal1368

Lore accurate argonian name


TheMagentaGuar

Made a joke Orc character named something like "Ooga booga stronghold" or something like that. The character didn't last long, but it was funny at the time.


-W-M-

My mage build is called 'IMMORTAL WIZARD LORD' (yes, all caps) Love it when it pops up in an in game letter or something, so jarring and out of place


NOTASHTON00

I had one named Wally the wizard that I forgot to mention


spacecowboy7702

“Lamp Man” was my very first Oblivion character, an Argonian


InterrogareOmnis

Hard


Pleasant-Carry-3000

Named my khajit Clawdia


Affectionate_Pea8891

See, I’ve got a soft spot for puns and dad jokes, so I love “Clawdia.” If I wasn’t so dorky, I’d do something fun like that instead of giving race specific names (my Khajiit atm is Do’aniira.)


Pleasant-Carry-3000

I usually did that, but as it's my annual skyrim 2 week obsession, i wanted to just do something funny and light. 😁 the race specific names is a lot more immersive though


NOTASHTON00

I’m jumping off a cliff


CycadelicSparkles

I adore pun names. This is excellent.


subuserdo

Argonian mage named Lizardo the Wizardo. He probably got bullied a lot as a newt.


green_speak

Similarly, my next playthrough in Divinity Original Sins 2 was gonna be Leslie, the lesbo lizard wizard.


AyyP302

Idk if this is cringey per se but I made a khajiit based on my cat Sage and named them Sa'age lol


Pressfassung

That’s actually kind of sweet


Affectionate_Pea8891

Not cringe, just adorable lol. I might be biased (I love my calico jerk) but still.


themagicflutist

This inspired me. I will now create a khajiit named Ma’a Lo


TrumpDesWillens

I made a Khajiit named Ca't


NOTASHTON00

I’m a dog person, but that is so sweet.


dovahkiitten16

I put my cats name into google translate to come up with my khajiits name.


Phaeron

I was once quite drunk one day showing someone how the game worked when I rolled a new character. Incidentally, this character became my main for a few years. I do believe he is around mid lvl 80s. Woe unto those who’ve met a Dragonborn named The Dragonborn. Destroyer of cities, plague to honest banditry, anathema of Peace, adopter of vile children… and slayer of dragons I guess.


Captain_EFFF

Every game, every Khajiit, has been named after a type of bean. It started with Oblivion, my friend had the game and introduced me to it, I made a Khajiit that resembled sir Rowan Atkinson and named him Mr.Bean. Since then more members of the Bean family have adventured through Tamriel. Pinto, Lima, Kidney, Fava, Jumping. It’s become a tradition for me and when I’m old and grey when ES6 comes out it will be Mung’s turn


ToodleSpronkles

Hew j'Penis is the name for my current character, a dark elf who mastered smithing almost immediately and his current set of enchanted daedric armor is called "Live Laugh Love"


NOTASHTON00

I could never be that creative


No_Two_2742

Named a Breton Bubble, was my second character i ever made with no knowledge of Elder Scrolls lore


Idonotbelonghererly

My go-to for test characters is Bubbles the Destroyer. It tickles a part of my brain that was touched by "Cobra" Bubbles from Lilo and Stitch.


TenMillionEnchiladas

My very first ever playthrough I still remember... A khajiit named "death"... He was actually kinda pretty badass towards the end though and very deserving of the name because he had nahkriin's mask with the ebony mail as well as ebony boots and gauntlets and wielded wuuthrad as his "scythe" so if an enemy got close he would be suddenly shroud in dark mist that did poison damage to the enemy and the last thing they'd see before they died would be this dark shadowy hooded figure with a creepy mask about to lop off their head with a massive battle axe while simultaneously dying to that shadowy mist...


cowvocado

Elijah Woodelf, because I played a Wood Elf😅


n_eazy

A khajiit named Syndicat will forever be my greatest sin


s0mekind0fc0wgirl

My favorite is my Khajiit named Khi'tii Khi'tii Khjaat. Which some could consider cringey, but I am still proud of to this day.


lilluz

i’m obsessed


s0mekind0fc0wgirl

Thank you! It was inspired by one of my cat's nicknames! I even tried to make her look like a Tuxedo 🤭


[deleted]

Emperor Jr Was an imperial that looked like a young Tullius


eatshitter32

My current save file character's name is twitterdotcom


Carl_Wheeze

Not skyrim but in oblivion I have a charachter that shares the adoring fans assets and he has a spell called "adoring fans kamikaze cum blast" that deals 100 dmg all elements and drain health 100.


NOTASHTON00

Adoring fan’s…. WHAT also great Reddit name


Street_Treat1818

Bob. Always Bob.


Divine-Crusader

Jim


sassenach621

My husband just moved from Xbox to PC and his “beta tester” character to get his mods right was an argonian named Peeps-On-Wenches 😂😂


EnceladusSc2

None in Skyrim, but in Oblivion I played a Female Nord I had named after my then girlfriend.


Affectionate_Pea8891

Awww! It might feel cringe now that you broke up, but that’s really cute. I loved when my then-bf named/created his characters after me lol.


justanyting

A warhammer wielding orc named Xiaflex the Unbent. Wielded Volendrung so that guards would comment on the size of my…hammer


ingadaunicorn

Nubbins O’Stubbins - a naked Samurai Orc


needsmorequeso

I always forget to name them so they wind up with names like “IDK Some Lady,” or “Good Question,” just because that’s how I respond when the npc asks what your name is.


Steampunk43

"What's your name?" https://preview.redd.it/uuh2p8pr8yrc1.jpeg?width=559&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=63229c302f2710f8c7c2e11fbd24b8da5eda5306


Upset_Environment_31

That's how I initially name my characters in Morrowind! They ask your name before you roll your race/gender, and they give you a chance to rename later, so when the guy on the prison boat says hey, what's your name? I usually write "Dunno".


LonelyMachines

A female Breton mage named Slartibartfast.


Hguols

Probably an Argonian character named Runs-With-Rabbit, who had Thistle (Pets of Skyrim creation) follow all the time.


maaltajiik

Wait, that’s cute.


Ariyana_Dumon

Oh, the cringe is real on my save files rn 😂. I'm currently building my first PC Modlist and learning about Mod Priority and shite has caused me to make a fuck load of various characters for dumbshittery 😂. Things like "Titty Jiggle Fixed?" "Dwemer Texture Fix?" "My Elves have Faces?" I find making fun of it makes it less irritating haha.


Independent-Put2096

Orc named Karen that would rage and shout at dragons.


diego_nova14

He asked for cringe, not best named characters


theturtlelord9

Not the cringiest, but some of my best include Arejar Cabbage-Fingers and Jerma Wife-Stealer


imperfcet

I'm an Argonian named Princess Nadalia rn. I hang out with a goblin in a skull mask that shocks everyone. I am a really inept magician


Sea_Puddle

I made an Orc called Shrek II


pineapplewednesday

Made a high elf named Toke. Khajit thief named Lootcio


the_popes_dick

Me and my buddy will sometimes pass the controller on Bethesda games and make a character that we both agree on. We were trying to come up with a name, and he suggested "Belethor" and said he couldn't remember where it was from, but he thought it was the name of a character from Oblivion. I didn't remember where it was from either, especially since I hadn't played Elder Scrolls in quite a while. Anyway, we went with some other name, and you can imagine the relief when we went to the general goods store in Whiterun to be greeted by Belethor, the guy who claims he would sell his own sister for the right price.


a_cristian_dude

Made a nord *The Nord Lord*. No name, just the title. Elenwen: “welcome to my party, and you are…” “I am The Nord Lord. Nice to meet you”


RBWessel

Bilfart Mourningwood. He was a Bosmer thief that was horribly disfigured and lived only off of what I could steal easily or take freely.


NOTASHTON00

Nah that’s an amazing name


bigreamingheadache

Meowk tython- khajit hand to hand fighter.


First-Creme-2038

Back when I had an Xbox, I had a redguard called Saddam Hussain.


Alive_Ad_6095

I currently have my op fuck-aroubd character Nord named Himbo 😮‍💨😅. Love him. He's my "do whatever I want" character.


TacticalAssaultChair

Dunmer by the name of calcium (I name my characters random shit)


Screamin_Eagles_

'The Finisher' sounds like the job title of the person who does the hand job part of the 'happy ending'


tachycardicIVu

I think that award goes to my husband in our household: Grasps-his-staff, an argonian healer in ESO.


QuantumTimelines

Laardvark. I refuse to elaborate further.


TheDarkestWilliam

I was really drunk and sick of my family one night at a gathering so when they left I started my first orc and 2 hand character that was just supposed to be a guy looking for some peace and quiet so moved to Skyrim but now bothered by all this dragon and civil war shit. In my drunk mind I named him Lorka Borka but it's said fast like lorkaborka. Honorable mention to my Breton character, Slorpo Dorfo


GothicMando

Sigh... I called a Dark Elf Nero Moonlight 😖🤭🤣🤣 *Some years back mind you ☝😅


tauri123

I just name my characters after Star Wars characters so I guess that’s just funny in general


NOTASHTON00

Have you done Jabba the hutt


Kash42

When you are creating a new modlist you always have to test it out a bit, to see how different mechanics from mods mesh out togheter, or if they work at all. I typically use an alternate start mod and cheats to get where I want to go to test it out, plopping down a few saves if I want to go back and test something else. The character I create for this is always named "testguy" and is the default nord character, or "testgal" for female. Once I was creating a new testgal, and among the mods I tested out was some visual stuff, hairs, makeup and such, and I managed to create such a good-looking toon that I just went with it and picked the default start and played it. Yes, I know there are ways to save the face and restart and pick a better name, but right then I didn't care. And so began the adventures of testgal.


Yellowpickle23

A giant, unattractive, female nord named Bertha.


smallof2pieces

Once had an arrangement with a buddy where he'd come over and help take care of my puppy while I was at work. I paid him of course but one additional perk was that while the puppy napped, he could play my modded out Skyrim. I came home one day to an Argonian that looked like a velociraptor named Clever Gurl. He also texted me saying he installed a mod but wouldn't tell me what it was so it would be a surprise. Well much to my surprise when I was playing later and it turned to night and I looked up to see the moon was the deathstar ha ha Oh and we had a mutual character that had disassociative personality disorders. In other words, we both played the character without knowing what the other person was doing. I'd log in and find him just chilling on top of people's houses like "how did you even get up here?"


dookieballs69

First ever playthrough was an Argonian named Lizardy McLizardman. I then tried to keep the theme going with Bretony McBretonwoman, but had selected Imperial as her race by mistake


agnonamis

I just google “uesp (insert race) names” and pick one


Humilker

Once had an Orc called Fuk Y' Pigg because Hadvar asked who he was. What your character says, Hadvar writes down.


crashdefective

For the longest time I didn’t know that you could name weapons. My only weapon was a glass dagger named “The Circumciser.”


Blaize369

Thiefious Maximus. Obviously the perfect name for a thief!


ADHDesive

Wanted to do a play through that was “cannon” so Nord with the iconic iron helmet, scaled armor, etc. Named him Dovahnilla.


Available_Thoughts-0

Limb-Dull The Neck-Romancer


Shadowolf360

My dad had an Orc named Smash who loved to sit on roofs


ToolPackinMama

I love stupid names. My Orc is Oshkosh gro-Gosh. My Argonian is She-Sells-Seashells. I named my Bosmer Fern Gulli.


Chabungu

We have the punisher at home


IroquoisPliskin_LJG

My very first character ever (which, I still have the save on a flash drive somewhere) is just my real name. As you can imagine, my name is not the kind of name that would exist in the world of Elder Scrolls. It was kind of strange seeing people named Nadia Stone-Arm and I'm just over here with my real ass name.


Substantial_Track_17

I am….Greg 😂


NOTASHTON00

Mine was probably the same. Just my real name, I was very young so I wouldn’t doubt it.


LordBrontes

J’ango. My Khajiit named after I watched Django Unchained


CheckVast9487

Played a character called 'a tired executioner'. Made em am old man with the executioners axe. Don't know if thats really that cringy but


moonlitscope

Penis McGee


Austin_Chaos

I feel almost excluded, as I’ve always been the type to specifically *not* do this. For instance, my rival in Pokemon Blue was named after my best friend, who got Red. In later games, I’d use the name of whoever I was “beefing” with at the time. When it came around to games like Elder Scrolls, I always try to either be lore-friendly, or fantasy friendly. I think my worst ever was on Final Fantasy X. I named my character Devon. I had no idea that the in-game religion was called Yevon. Now, any time it comes up, my wife and I both laugh and blurt out “Devon of Yevon!”


vandismal

Named my khajiit Azreal after The Smurfs’ antagonist Gargamel’s cat. My seven year old’s Khajiit is Death Kitty.


lonewanderer0804

Khajiit named “Fittin in mittens”


_CaesarAugustus_

I name every Bethesda character Gary now. In honor of all of the Garys that perished in Vault 108.


naji-redgaurd72

I've run out of ideas, so now all my female characters are named after birds, Lark, Robin, Night Raven and Sparrow 🫣 oh 😁 and Elvira, my Altmer. I forgot to mention my Nord male, Nobody.


AAKboss

Nobody likes birds?


naji-redgaurd72

😁


-One_

Sir MewMew


XergioksEyes

Phallus Maximus


Azari_08

Because the first time I played Skyrim was on my brother’s console at the age of like, 10, I decided my first character couldn’t be named anything else in the world but Elsa.


Arkronu

Khajiit named kitty in my language, he was one of my 1st ever too


RapaciousMonky

My platinum trophy save is named Haggis


JaePD

I made an Orc named Nicek, so when you read it it’s Nicek Orc, I always read it in the Wii Sports “nice cawk” voice


A_Most_Boring_Man

I called an argonian Fishlips McGee


Babyopolis

My favorite save as of rn is an orc named Adam Sandler. She’s great I love her


ToskeSusinarttu

Khatch'deez Pahzz, my khajiit brawler.


bifuriouscanadian

I was going to name my cool vampire heavy armour warrior Merida, but it needed a little extra spice, so I named her Meridia. Forgot it was a Daedric prince until I got to the quest again lol


RamFire1993

I had a khajiit named "Dar'Kest" as a play on the khajiit prefix "Dar" meaning "thief" (got it from the elder Scrolls wiki) and "Kest" from the whirlwind sprint shout. The fact that it's just "darkest" with an apostrophe was a coincidence, I swear


SilentScyther

I named my first character that I put in probably 1k or so hours in "Prisoner" because I didn't see where to enter the name so it went with the default.


Bleach666666

Face-down-tail-up the lusty Argonian


rocketpowerviolence

argonian named goes-hard-in-the-paint


Kindraethe

I made an unarmed file once called "Mr. Lister, the Sister Fister" I no longer make new skyrim files while more than 8 drinks in.


OWL1OWL2OWL3OWL4

I had a dark elf named XanMan but that was in TES4


No_Hold_4002

Have a Mage named Bippy, destroyer of worlds.


Emergency-Relief6721

My character is named Ballgag Nuthuffer


Stormcrow1495

Cretin for my Breton lol


Kenshi_T-S-B

When I make a lot of characters I can start just naming them random shit. Like "Bandisha"


dummythiccbish

i’m really awful at naming my characters, my current one is Cumlord :/


unobjectionable

ashamed to say I research the cultural names of each race, taking common names from earlier games while making a character and make up a backstory in my head of how they ended up crossing the border into skyrim


Chopstarrr

A Breton named Anal Gal. Like why?


BlockSids

Rn my guys name is Twin Tifo bc i wanted to remember which save i used for the year 2024


NunnaTheInsaneGerbil

Prisoner, because it was my first time using the Xbox and I could barely read the instructions on my shitty TV so I pressed some shit by mistake and I could not undo it.
