Worgen/Goblin names?

The only rule in this thread is quite obvious, don't steal the names suggested here without permission.

With that said, anyone have a name picked out?  I'm looking at arabic names for my goblin.  So far my favorite has been Ghazi.

As for my worgen, I'm absolutely clueless what the origin name would even be.  I suppose I'll have to wait for more lore, or give him a human name and include a nickname like "Reaver" for his MRP. 

Anyways, what are your ideas?

I have already reserved the two names I wanted for Gobbos... not that either of them will ever see farther than 40th lvl or anything...

I have reserved Bumdrool for my shaman. Cause... eeeew.
My other Gobbo name is Azbadaz his full name being Azbadaz Orwurse ( As bad as or worse for the really really slow people)

and I wouldn't know what to do with a worgen name since that would make me an ALLIANCE DOG! Quite literally in fact...

I won't be playing a goblin. Hate the race.

I took Draugluin as a worgen placeholder but I may ditch it since I am not a *huge* fan of direct name stealing, but he was a bit player.

i could have sworn that Draugluin was taken on this server already... maybe it was only taken on the horde side which is why i went with another name from that book for my warlock

Doesn't matter which side a name is claimed, claims it for both sides. Maybe he has just had it claimed forevaaaar!

Nah, I snagged it last night. Guess the guy got bored and/or hacked or something.

Hm...maybe I can get the name Glaurung and I'll RP my worgen as a Dragon masquerading as a Human who contracted the Worgen curse!  >_>  If, you know, we're using direct Tolkien names.

Greebo.  ;-)  Looked it up awhile back because I saw someone on another server with the same name, so I realized it had to come from something.

I may have to dig into the stories I was writing for Zindivyani, because her backstory was that she was taught from a young age by a goblin engineer, and has visited Undermine a number of times.  So I may have to rediscover the name of her teacher and create him for my gobbo. 

( And yes, Erzsebet is a historical name, but her name on Bloodscalp had been Sorrowful and it was taken on TN when I transferred her 3 years ago!  It was the best I could think of under the stress of "zomg, I have to change her name!" )

I must admit that I didn't give too much thought to the name at the time I rolled him - I really wasn't sure how long I would be playing or even who my main would be. The story I have at the moment is that since I was an experiment by Sylvanas she named me after a pet cat. And that name came to her via one of the demons she hangs around with - in my little continuum Earth is somewhere in the Nether to be seen and studied by the legion - but since we have no magic we are of no interest to them. Alternately they could have found Discworlld. Angaroth rreally was a different guy - so I could do a name change but he is happy enough with it and certainly the only people who snicker about it to his face are his demons. And they snicker all the time.

I'll be whipping up a Worgen warlock, but I have no idea what the name will be.  Or the gender.  Like most of my characters I will just log in and wing it.

Do Worgen have human names, like the Forsaken, or have they renamed themselves post-curse to something more feral?  Maybe I'll take the best of both worlds and make a Snarles.  Or a Grrraham.

The originals were aliens. That's who I would play.

Seeking out the Scythe of Elune to bring more of your nightmarish kind into Azeroth?

I am looking for the hidden characters buried in your message devised to drive human minds mad. I cannot find them so it must be too late for me, my fragile sanity has already been corrupted. Your fiendish plan is working.
