A Name???

[uetico]

I've just started making my game and the name is so... flat. "Dreaming of Lorelei" is the current title. I'm not sure if I like it anymore. I want something memorable like "Chrono Trigger" or the "Final Fantasy" games. I'm just out of ideas. My game is definitely about revenge and lots of twists and turns. The main character's name is Ein, and the woman he eventually loves is named Lorelei. She fakes her death and then fights him in the end. They're the two main characters. Can anyone suggest a name?

Didn't you just give away two big plot twists?

Dreaming of Lorelei doesn't sound flat to me...

Re: A Name???

What rpg maker u using.

I couldn't think of a better name than dreaming of lorelei. I will try to think of something later when I am board in chemistry class or something.

Re: A Name???

Final Fantasy and Chrono Trigger are memorable because they are GOOD games. If your game is good, people WILL remember it.

How about "Vengence From Beyond" (if Lorelei is fights him in the end for revenge), "Absent Lover", "Ein's Loss", or "Holy Sh*t Lorelei's Dead! Oh Wait, No She Isn't! Wait! Why Is Lorelei Fighting Ein!?!?"

Haha, good one.

Thanks, I appreciate that. I guess I will keep it the same. I'm using RPGM3, by the way. Thanks a lot everybody!

Definitely sounds like it to me. If you are working on the very idea of the game then be just a little more vague about the twists, uetico. I have been tempted to tell others about my plot twists too. And as far as names go, your name seems to fit. You haven't really told us much else about what the game is about, so it will not be easy for us to help you with it. How about this for a name "Twilight Requiem."

Re: A Name???

Isn't that name already taken?

Re: A Name???

Requiem was too cool a word for a while. Now it just sucks.

Re: A Name???

How about "Nightmare Troubadour".

Re: A Name???

Mr. an Mrs. ein and lorelei. Oh wait it doesn't quite work right. Hmmmmm.

The Awkward actions of Ein. I don't know still can't think of one. I will keep searching my brain.

That sounds really cool, but I don't know what "Troubadour" means.

Sorry about the plot twist giveaway lol, I'll be a lot more vague next time. Just trying to get a suiting name.

Re: A Name???

Oh man it doesn't even have a synonam in the thesorous on word. That's sad. Time to look at dictionary.

It says "one of a class of poets and poet musicians, often of noble birth or knightly rank, and sometimes itinerant, living in South France, North Spain and Italy in the 11th, 12th and 13th cc. || a strolling minstrel"

Re: A Name???

For troubadour, an almost apt synonym is gleeman. Also, minstrel and bard are pretty close in comparison.

When it comes to these words, I can't help but place gender to them because of books and video games. Bards are always male, gleemen are always male, troubadours are always female, etc. I know this isn't quite accurate, but it can fit into a situation quite nicely if you plan properly.
