Ok guys and Gals,

Just curious to see what you come up with. I need a name for Skoll. Have been tempted to just leave his name but ::shrug:: maybe if nothing else seems to fit.

Anyhoo....

Normally I go for the mythic names, names in literature or names that are unique but still have a meaning that fits. Also I don't USUALLY tend to go for the popular mythic names (ie: Thor, Odin, Loki..etc)

Lets see...just to give you an example I have (across a couple of toons):

Dante and Faust (Corehounds)
Caliban (Pridewatcher)
Samedi (Rabid DB Polarbear)
Midas (Durotar Tiger)
Wraith and Amiir* (Ghost Sabers)
* Drow for "Beautiful Death"

Anyway. Also this pet is slightly different since he was tamed on April Fools so I was toying with also naming him something to do with the holiday or jesters in general.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanx in advance

Here's some tricksters from Mythology of various cultures. I won't list all of their descriptions, but I figure if a name catches your eye you can Wikipedia it.

Heyoka
Mercurius
Hermes
Eshu
Wakdjunga
Azeban
Juha
Kitsune
Ivan the Fool

Feste, Trinculo, Costard, Lavache, Yorik, Puck, Launce, and Pompey are all jesters or tricksters from Shakespearean plays.
William "Will" Sommers or Somers - The name of the best known court jester of Henry VIII.
Even just the name Jester.

Name him Clopin.

Klumpig. (Swedish for clumpsy.)
Joker. (Swedish for jester.)
Dåre. (Swedish for fool.)
Boar.

ok guys. Have a new name...I think...for Skoll. As much as I like Jester, my Finacee suggested a name which makes perfect sense...especially since I am a gamer and the RPG closest to my heart is WoD.

So his name is Ragabash and I named Loq Djinn

Thanx everyone for the ideas. Will be using some of them in the future

Because I have a love of Disney movies.
Doesn't help that I'm biased as well; I love Clopin's character to bits.

Clopin! I haven't watched that movie in years. I think we've got a cassette of it somewhere, gathering dust. The version Harpier's talking about is from Disney's Hunchback of Notre Dame. I think his outfit is supposed to be based a on a jester, but I can't recall if he actually was one, or was just a performer. I haven't read the actual book the movie was based on, so I'm not entirely sure what he was like in it. Oh, and this is what Disney's version looks like:

He was more evil/dark in the book version. But you know how Disney makes their characters act like they're high on life.
I have the video of the movie, but not the VCR to play it. Mine doesn't have one, it only has a DVD player, which means I can no longer watch Nightmare Before Christmas either.
