Where do you think the name came in from the first place? 

Her father took a look at her temper and decided to name her Porcupine, but had a beer and misspelled it.

You think that is a dumb name for a woman, huh, how about 'Isolde' ???

There was a movie released a few years ago Tristan & Isolde,  saw that name and was like "WTF" i have NEVER seen a more stupid looking name for a woman, in my entire life!

Isolder electrical components,

Isolde car yesterday

Is'olde and gray

I think it depends on how you articulate it. I tend to read it as Proci-pen-ay, so it doesn't really sound all that bad. *shrugs*

Tristan and Isolde is an opera by Richard Wagner; based of an 12th century poem.

I suspect Procipenee is a derivation of Prosephone, the Greek goddess of Hades.

Prosephone?

 

Oh i had a friend who just signed up their new mobile with that phone company last week???

 

I think your thinking of the Roman spelling of Persephone - Proserpina? Both are pretty stupid names although Persephone is a nice name phonetically, as for Proserpina, well i think we all know what to do back in school for any girl with that name!!!

Glory be to Queen Porcupine, May her quills never be rubbed the wrong way. This is how I saw it when I was skimming over information about the game for the first time. And it stuck given her ridiculous name... Does she have a shortened name or nickname, it doesn't seem right calling her Procie...

Ya I have to make an effort to not read it as porcupine. In fact, my brain actually tends to read it as Princess Porcupine, even though it clearly says Queen. I guess my brain just likes to be ridiculous.

Typical reactions from a monosyllabic group. Polysyllabic names are far more interesting.  :annoyed:

Word "perse" means "ass" in finnish... so... Assphone... heh, good times.  :)

So this is what happens when you remove her starting crown  :omg: . I guess now we know why she was inefficient before, she doesn't understand our crazy human ways.

then again her name does sound italian (likes to eat a lot, drink wine and sleep after lunch and likes to remember what it was like from long before she was born)

For the best fantasy themed names, look at the prescription medication names.

Endiaron the Wizard - isn't it stylish? Valetol the elf is not that bad either. Just avoid the obvious ones like Kinedryl.

I didn't like it when I put the accent on the third last syllable - Procipe'nee.

But I like it more when I accent the second, - Proci'penee (like Persephone)

It's shit.

Can't hate names because modern companies abuse the heritage for marketing purposes lol

Many are not derived from English, like Isolde, so is old probably did not occur to Wagner.

 

As for not liking the name, custom faction, change it, voila.

I articulate it: Por-cu-pine...

That said, I figure there are a lot other things I would change first, like the random name generator.

How is "atak" for a woman name?

I bet none of you would be saying anything if she was standing in front of you with her legions of summons.  #:(

Lord Xia isn't thinking outside the spellbook. Eat your champions souls, steal their summons... Summon Familiar, SUMMON MORE SUMMONS! :D
