		<description>I too obsess over the names of my characters. For instance the name of my deathknight, Sjelmater, means devourer of souls in Norwegian which I thought fit the snowy feel of WoTLK.</description>

		<description>that sucks..I have a lvl 7 troll hunter on firetree btw :)  LFG!

I sat down and was playing the open beta back in the day of original wow.  Enough random clicks on the naming button produced one I liked..Aurdon.  I took that with me through open beta and continued to use it in the live servers.

When in WotLK beta, I build a death knight and named him Ourdawn for simplicity sake.

		<description>I found it at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.hebrewbabynames.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Hebrew Baby Names&lt;/a&gt; but their server seems to be down.

Again, Wynthea isn&#039;t Hebrew in and of it self... it&#039;s a WELSH spelling derived from the Hebrew for Healer. I don&#039;t remember what the original Hebrew word was, unfortunately, and discovered the server was down when I went to look.

Also, the number of results that comes up for Wynthea has increased A LOT since I first took the name. Hmmmmmm....</description>

		<description>That, quite seriously, sucks.  I&#039;m really sorry about your name.

Naming is one of the most important things in WoW for me.  I always slave over my names, and I helped my husband with one of his.  There was this one time, my brother and his wife as a joke... well, &lt;a href=&quot;http://birdfall.blogspot.com/2007/02/prank-or-attack-of-clones.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;read&lt;/a&gt;.

		<description>Definitely jumping on the &quot;obsess about character names&quot; wagon. In my case it&#039;s exacerbated by the fact that I&#039;m very bad at it. I am constantly full of envy of my flatmate, who somehow always manages to find the coolest names for his characters.

Also joining Josh in wishing to know how Wynthea comes from Hebrew. It&#039;s my native language and I can&#039;t figure it out. Closest name I can think of is Cynthia, but that&#039;s not a Hebrew name.</description>

		<description>I  too spend hours agonizing over names.  My healer priest is Missmedic. Created to be a battleground Medic  inspired by Band of Brothers Ã¢â‚¬Å“BastongneÃ¢â‚¬Â episode -medic Eugene Roe. Of course Medic was taken so I added Miss. Its amazing how many people just donÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t get the name still.    Other names of mine people just donÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t get (except for the coolios :D )  Ã¢â‚¬Å“EllesevenÃ¢â‚¬Â   which is a play on L7 which is 50Ã¢â‚¬â„¢s slang for being a  square.  Ã¢â‚¬Å“SischristianÃ¢â‚¬Â which is my homage to Ã¢â‚¬Å“Sister ChristianÃ¢â‚¬Â by Night Ranger.  My other was Ã¢â‚¬Å“UrfubarÃ¢â‚¬Â which is You are F.U.B.A.R (if you donÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t know what fubar is watch a WW2 movie).  My kids use an anagram of their name and a reference to a popular vampire book character.</description>
