Larísa has problems with character names, or at least securing them.
So far I have been pretty lucky.
I don’t even recall if there were any Gnomeaggedons around before I chose that name, even though it is really common to prefix a Gnome’s name with Gnome.
- Gnomeaclysm
- Gnomistake… Hey Viking!
- Gnomepie… I miss you Pie!
Squidly was another surprising easy catch. It wasn’t until after rolling Squidly that I even checked the armory and sure enough, there were some, but not many Squidlys about.
I’ve already reserved my Goblin name, one I was surprised was still free.

Not taken, what is wrong with you people?
Of course that presupposes that I actually will roll a Goblin, but if I do, I’m ready.
Red Heart Roundup
About a year ago when BigBearButt organized the Raid For a Cure, I tried to roll Gnomeaggedon on his server.
I was horrified to discover that Gnomeaggedon was taken.
The paranoid side of me thinks that BBB was trying to keep me away.
The optimistic side of me thinks that BBB was trying to protect me by providing a stunt double, one to take the assassin’s bullet or blade.
I rolled Squidlysmate on that occasion, because anyone that knows, knows Squidly’s mate is Gnomeaggedon (Although both Gnomeaggedon and Squidly may deny any form of friendship in public).
BBB is at it again, with the next raid coming up, possibly in October or November, this time it’s a Red Heart Roundup, for (or is that against) heart disease.
Although I know the inspiration is neither BBB or me, with our mutual love of bacon (something I know Euripides suffers with daily as well), it is a subject close to our stomachs hearts (yes, I jest about a very serious matter, but let me assure you both of us have been affected by heart disease).
This time, Gnomeaggedon is free to raid. Although, this time I might run with my one and only, my first Blood Elf, BigGnomeButt.
My Juices Overflow
Of course that got my creative name generating juices flowing.
BigGnomeButt isn’t all that appropriate for a girlyboy Blood Elf.
BigBearButt is beautiful in it’s simplicity, so what else could I name my future characters…
There were many, including these…
- GreatGnomeGut
- KrizzlyDizzlyDo
- JongsSexyButt
- LarisasLoveChild
However I am pretty certain that my next character is going by the name of:
BigBeerGut
While it sounds like a Dwarven name, I am fully aware of the fact that Dwarves drink Fully Organic, low calorie, low alcohol, shandies… Or where I come from swill that not even a pig would stick it’s snout in. You may know it as Bud Light.
Thus Dwarves don’t get beer guts… but you know the one race that exhibits perfect examples of beer gut anatomy?
Gnomes!
Yeah, looks like BigBeerGut will be a Gnome… now I just have to figure out the appropriate class.
Although, I do wonder if Blood Elves have a special /exhale emote. Surely they must get tired sucking their cheeks and gut in all day in an attempt to look lithe.
He’s a little bit crazy.
On a final note, I think BBB is right, he is losing his mind (maybe his bladder too… but old age is a bitch right?).
He starts off with a title like this…
Then.. he finishes it like this…
I think he’s going to have to get a whole lot less crazy… I’m worried… not so much for him, but what if people start thinking that I am him!
Last time someone did that, they got quizzed on Twister Nether Blogcast (Still spewing that wasn’t episode 69.. I bet Jong can do things with a 69 that haven’t been invented yet) about their split personality… apparently there was some suggestion that I was Jong and Megan, or Jong was me and Megan, or that Megan ate Jong and I, or I don’t know what was really being said behind closed blogs… but… I don’t know if I can handle the kind of fandom that will come with being possibly.. maybe… (OK, not much of a chance), Jong, Megan or BBB.
Did I say final note? You believed that right?
Just thought I’d let you know this is actually my 2nd post for the day. You may not be like Jong, who can sniff a Gnome out at a 100 paces, so if you missed it, go read my champion contribution to the whole “fill the bank with gold” thing that the youngsters are into these days.
Jong can breath a sigh of relief
Gnomer and Out!

On the names thing, I usually play on Roleplay servers. On there, my gnomes have names like Shaemus Wrenchsprocket, Curio Cogs and Wilfred T Fuselage.
On the Cata Beta server, it’s a standard PVE, so I decided to have a little fun with it. I now have:
Gazimoff (gnome mage)
Gazacadabra (gnome mage)
Gazmundo (worgen mage)
Gazreldun (nelf mage)
Gazakazam (goblin shaman)
Gazmodan (dorf shaman)
Gazruu (draenei paladin)
Once I became know as Cyn, all sorts of names suggested themselves for my alts, some serious, most not. Cynderblock, Cyntilate, Cynner, Cynister, Cynwagon, Cynic – all have been rolled, and some even leveled.
None of these are as good as BigBeerGut. Bravo!
BigBeerGut is inspired. i am in awe. (i also really like Wilfred T. Fuselage!) lol
I absolutely love you man
Am very attached to my name and character in general, it’s kinda my alter ego I reroll in every game.
but then my name is all over the servers anyway, nothing I can do. if it should be taken on a server I really mean to play on, well….I’ll come back here for inspiration.
You know, I read a post like that, and it just makes me tear up a little.
No bullshit, but to think there’s somebody else out there that likes you enough to mess around with you in crazy partnership and totally insane nutsoid fun is just heartwarming, isn’t it?
Or is that the Guinness I just drank?
It’s like you, me and Jong form to combine the holy trinity of bloggers…
We are the Marvel Super Hero Squad to the other blogger’s serious Avengers and Fantastic Four titles.
Oh, and if we’re the Marvel Super Hero Squad… I call the Hulk. Just saying.
If you drink enough of that stuff you will end up huge and green… So Hulk is appropriate.
I fear I have no choice but to roll with Thor… Hey, I’ve got a son named Odin, it’s only appropriate that I keep it in the family.
Odin has been a bit cranky because there haven’t been many thunder storms this year, and he is keeping a eye out for Thor. His school mates don’t believe that the lightning and thunder comes from Thor, but Odin knows better.
He also hasn’t had enough rainbows either… he wants a good shot at catching a leprechaun, and we need that rainbow for clues.
Ahhh the Irish and their silly tales… Or is that ales… full circle
[...] name is usually Big Bear Butt, and if you read Gnomeageddon’s blog like I do, you’ll see that Gnomer went a little nuts with the whole “having fun with names” [...]
If BBB, Gnomer, and Jong form the blooger super heros, can I be in? Happy to be the side-kick, like the wonder twins…I’ll make coffee?
Form of an Ice bucket, shape of a Boobook owl…useful. See portable beer chiller right there.
There are plenty to go around…
Now all we need is an Arch Villan
Carefully… biting…. tongue….
For an archvillan, only a Warlock will do.
Prepare to meet your doom! (As long as your doom has a good ROI after expenses, of course.)
Ahhh yes, and for comedy relief only a Warlock Arch Villain will do!
[...] I got myself thinking the other day, I do that sometimes. I just push myself a little bit too far, and the brain kicks into action. By then it’s too late and I can’t really stop it. I assure you I try, but a Gnome’s brain has a time delay lock, and nothing short of Tom Cruise can stop it ticking (Just the sight of him sends me into spasms… if he were to lay his hands on me, I promise the ticking would stop).

[...] was inspired by my post from just the other day… [...]
