Sorry if this is in the wrong forum, but I though it fitted best here.

So, in little over a week, Cataclysm will be released in stores and throngs of people will be flocking to make themselves Worgen and Goblin characters. Myself among them. And while my Worgen have already got names picked out, I find myself at a little bit of a loss as to what to name my future male Goblin Hunter.
Anyone who's played with me on the Nessingwary servers knows of my two main characters there; Moonlost the Troll druid and Sunlost the Tauren Paladin. I also have Gutterlost the Undead hunter, who has yet to be invited into the guild. (Nor will she for probably some time. She's there mostly to level with my brother's character there. And since he currently doesn't have a working computer, it could take me a while before I get arround to getting her in.)

As you probably noticed, I have a little bit of a naming theme going on.

I think it's cute in a way, and it produces some awesome names. Also, it allows other guildies to quickly distinguish who I am by my character name. (Moooooooooooooon)
So when it comes to my future goblin, although it's like to keep with the name *Noun*lost, I'm finding it hard to think of something suitable yet cool sounding. I'm hoping that the awesome people on the forums could help me out a little.
Even though I'm not on an RP server, I always think of personalities and backstories for my character. My goblin is no exception. Hopefully this can help you help me decide upon a name for him.

I envision him as being a street-rat turned urban ranger. He's been living off the discarded remains of Kezan all his life, acting as a cheap errand boy for the criminal underlords of the city during his youth and a hired gun during his adulthood. A strange affinity for animals, a sharp mind for tinkering and a keen eye with a gun kept him alive though these years. Soon he found himself master of his urban jungle... Right up until Deathwing caused the volcano to eurupt.
Deep underneath all the muck that has acumulated over him all his live, he's a good-hearted guy. He doesn't hurt innocents (as rare as they were in Kezan), he tries to look out for the underdog and he's always kind to animals. He views his mercenary lifestyle as a neccissary evil to keep himself fed and safe.
His future name isn't his real one so much as it is an alias, something he gives to employers and strangers. His life has taught him that trust, and subsequently his real name, is not something to be freely given out.

So yeah. I'm stumped on him surprisingly. I was toying with "Urbanlost" for a while, but it doesn't quite have the right feel to it.
Although I'd like to keep with the *Noun*lost names, I'm more than happy to use something that really strikes me as suitable or just plain awesome. Please help me Petopia!

Perhaps Streetlost, not sure why but to me sounds good for him.. Kinda like street smarts only hes ironic being a goblin who while smart of the streets is a bit more.. not the best I know but all I got

I like streetlost, but I was thinking Citylost.

Slumlost, Bulletlost, Shivlost, Shanklost.......that's all I got.

Mucklost
Lurklost
Alleylost
Thuglost
Muglost
Slylost
Swindlelost

My favorites of those are Muglost, Mucklost, and Thuglost.

I was using Littlemiss on BETA.

Goldlost, Rocketlost, Blasterlost, Greedylost, and maybe my personal fav:

LOSTLOST!

Shadowlost
Wanderlost

Pennylost?

Dusklost. Just kidding. Seriously. Ignore me now.

Real names:

Starlost
Winterlost
Falllost
Summerlost
Springlost

(These names based on Sun/Moon)

Kinglost
Fatelost
Royallost
Doomlost
Rangerlost

(All to do with, roughly, goblin starting zone and how you lost everything.)

And....

Footballlost

(Reference off one of the quests in game.)

Coinlost

Youlost.

Thanks for the suggestions all
I'm leaning towards Slumlost. Very urban and downtrodden sounding, which is just perfect. It also sounds close to Sunlost.
Although I do like Fatelost, Mucklost and Shanklost. Wanderlost is awesome too, very nice play on words there.
Some of these may be recycled into future nessingwary alts lmao.

As awesome as that is, Lostlost would be an *Adjective*lost name. XD
*gets shot*

EDIT: And Slumlost is now reserved. Thanks again all, it was a big help
On a side note, I'm half tempted to do some fiction writing for Slumlost now. He's developed himself into quite a character, and I'd love to pen his past and future adventures.

Since you've gone ahead and selected Slumlost, I thought I'd mention that as an RP-realm character, that sounds more like a Goblin LAST name, rather than a given name. Which is fine; many people like being called by last name. In terms of RP though, that may come up, so it's something to consider.

As mentioned briefly in his little backstory, it's not really his real name so much as it is a name he created for himself when dealing with people he doesn't really trust. Considering he doesn't trust many people at all, most people probably know him more by than name than by his real one. Don't worry, he'll have a proper goblin first name and everything if I ever get around to writing up some short storeis about him.

Congrats on picking your name!!! It definitely sounds like a cool story. If you do get around to writing it, make sure to post it!

At least you acknowledged the awesomeness of LOSTLOST

Did you ever check to see if the simple "Lost" was taken?

...I really like Pennylost..mind if I take it?

*snatches and runs*
