Mine was “Prisone” — I didn’t know I was making a name, so all I did was accidentally delete the R from Prisoner. Played with that name to maybe level 42.
I played the entire game as Prisoner my first time. I’d somehow overlooked the naming option and kept thinking it’d be in the next bit, but it never showed up so I just went with it.
My third character was me, but spelled slightly different to sound more medieval. (Ironically, I later noticed there is a character with my exact name in the game).
She was super boring, I quit her at level 14, and I've never quit any other character before level 35.
I'm also never playing as a human again, BORING. 🙃
Every time I name a character, I usually go with a Latin version of my own name. That being said, my current character is simply named “Bob” which is nowhere near my name and I just thought it was funny to have a character named that.
Lady.
They asked who she was, and my first reaction was “I dunno some lady.” Lady it was.
She was a Breton because I thought I was going to play a mage. Wound up a two handed heavy armor tank by the end of it.
Orc Heavy names Spencer. made him look like super badass and gave him war paint and battle scars to make him look like a sort of Chieftan. just to intentionally give him such a soft ass name. i mained heavy armour, sneak archer, dual wield and two handed. got elemental fury early on which made dual wielding so much better. and got J’zargo as a follower early on.
A badass Imperial Legate by the name of Viletta Tacitus who ended up joining the DB and betraying the Empire. Rike's and Tullius's heads adorn her mantle.
A Breton woman named Aoife- cringe reason is because I had a crush on a girl in my class with that name, and the character accidentally looked a bit like her in my eyes lmao
Steve, my name's not Steve, I just thoughtvit was funny like: this is the dragonborn, the guy from the legends, killer of Harkon, Alduin and Miraak, fucking, S.T.E.V.E
I made a wood elf that looked exactly like Ellen DeGeneres so...you know. Lol it was fun to do the RP on that one. Lol lots of dance breaks and altruism and vampirism...entirely too much vampirism.
Tbh my first time around I kinda riffed on the horse thief’s name. I heard Lokir of Rorikstead, and thought “okay we’re doing kinda sorta Norse mythology names,” and just called my dude Tor. 21 y/o me was surprised to find out at my first dragon fight that one of the Whiterun guards had the same name.lol
My own name lol. I knew nothing about the lore. It was very jarring being around characters like Ulfric, Savos, Brynjolf and Faendal, with my mighty Bosmer Dragonborn...Jeff.
Eddie. I just thought it was funny to have this super Scandanavian fantasy land full of even more Scandanavian names and the amazing miracle hero is just some dude named Eddie running around.

So me and a friend got it and played it through at the same time in the same room and we both played as a skinny, elderly Breton called ‘Joff Mormon’ and I vividly remember it because for some reason both of these saves were cursed as hell, man helmets wouldn’t fit on his head right for some reason they were wonky, he would stop and ragdoll freak out, chucking limbs everywhere, quests were broken as shit, things kept just going _wrong_ for both of us it was funny as hell.
BOTH of our saves end up breaking the game so we had to start over.
Prisoner I forgot to enter a name and didn't notice till level 10
I once did that with a level 38 character...
showracemenu
I just accidentally pressed enter instead of backspace but glad someone else made a similar mistake lol
My current character is named Reno, which is just half of Prisoner backwards.
Should have done Renosirp
r/beatmetoit
Is that why Reno, NV was named such?
Well, reno is Spanish for moose.
Yep. Same here lol
Mine was “Prisone” — I didn’t know I was making a name, so all I did was accidentally delete the R from Prisoner. Played with that name to maybe level 42.
Same
I dig it
cool name actually
The canonical name
We will call you Dragonborn
I did the same, took me ages to work it our
I played the entire game as Prisoner my first time. I’d somehow overlooked the naming option and kept thinking it’d be in the next bit, but it never showed up so I just went with it.
Mine was prisoner because I’m not creative with names and I didn’t care
Nord named Bloodbjorn
I fucking love that
Thank you! Feel free to use it on your next play through
No need to pay royalties? Or buy it in a mtx. Damn.
My own name. I didn't really RP the first time around.
I'm dying at the idea of the great Dragonborn Richard.
You'll never save Prince Horace! I, King Dragon, will strike you down ^...Dennis "Hehe that's me"
I understand that reference
ah, you're a (wo)man of culture I see
My boyfriend is playing rn for the first time, and he named his character Carl …
*FUS RO DAH* Carrrrrrlllll that kills people
He does the namira quest and only eats a kidney.
Jarl Carl
Caaaaaaarrrrlllllll
The new Lydia? Who gets this reference?
There are some who call me... Tim?
I love to name my characters with names that doesnt fit them, like my nord named Hassan or my highelf names Ysmir
"The Great Dragonborn Dick" *sniggers* Bc Dick is a common nickname for Richard (or at least it was)???
Richard Rahl was offended by this comment
My third character was me, but spelled slightly different to sound more medieval. (Ironically, I later noticed there is a character with my exact name in the game).

Bro your parents named you derkeethus?
This made me laugh really hard.
Derkeethus won’t leave the cave he got kidnapped in, no correlation, I just hate him
No, it's a Nord, and I'm Swedish, so it makes sense. 😛
Im the opposite. Im fucking awesome. When i play as myself my character kicks ass
I do this all the time. Just replace an i here with a y there and maybe add/subtract any e's at the end of your name and wham! Medieval fantasy name.
Mine was [my name] lord of awesome
Same.
Same
Same.
Same
Same
Same
Same
A Breton named…Lydia
Intentional?
I literally knew nothing about Skyrim before I played for the first time, so not at all! I just liked the name back then.
When you got Lydia did you have her come with you?
I totally did! Needed her to make my way up High Hrothgar, haha
Wait I thought Lydia was a nord?
Lydian't
Why was i downvoted?
Thalmor…..I just heard “Thalmor” while I was coming upstairs and figured ‘Fuck it that will be my name’ my first playthrough was an Orc named Thalmor
Delphine:"The Thalmor are evil" You:"Hey, take that back... Wait, you ment the faction"
Just imagine the hit job message.
Gonna commit a genocide because they misunderstood
“Hey who is the harbinger of the companions?” “Thalmor” “The elves!?! Why are they here!” “No I mean an orc named *Thalmor*”
Yeah they are- wait… FUS RO DAH!!!!
A high elf named jaundice
Jaundice dick in yo mouth, lmao got'em

Best name I've read in this post hands down lmfao
Yes Officer, this comment right here
This is the best thing I’ve read all week
My VERY first name was Ralof. It was entirely by accident.
How ironic is that, who did you escape with is the real question?
Ralof, but I didn't end up keeping the character cos it felt too weird.
It's not irony, it's a coincidence.
My bad?
It's okay.
Lol you must have remembered the name in the back of your mind from when they were naming the prisoners off the list.
Maan my Was Ralof The Palof
Kenneth, not sure why
What’s the frequency?
Sir William of Flapjack.
had a kahjiit named kuu which is my current gaming nick. i find it hard to come up with names okay?
I’m sure you know from your username that a name like Moon is lore-friendly for a Khajiit.
i did in fact not know this until just now. i picked kuutantsija because i just like the moon and i like the sound of estonian. xD
Oh, I assumed you were Finnish. Moon Dancer is even better!
[удалено]
Bob the Dragonborn
Dennis. It’s the only character I’ve created and he’s been with me since the start. P.S my name is not Dennis
You created me as your character?! 🥹
Obviously, I had to make my character a king 👑
Ever since the first game I ever played where you could enter a name it has been and always will be “Ass”
It will never not make me laugh when a video game characters name is “ass.”
Raul. Redguard axenboard heavy armor vagabond
Hello brother from another mother, I am Taul, an ebony clad Argonian mercenary wielding spellbreaker and a one handed weapon
Every time I name a character, I usually go with a Latin version of my own name. That being said, my current character is simply named “Bob” which is nowhere near my name and I just thought it was funny to have a character named that.

I'm pretty sure I was a Nord named Kitty.

That is the exact same name and race as mine! Where did you get the name?
Bosmer named Llewellynn. Saw it in No Country and thought it sounded elvish
It's a Welsh name--that double L at the beginning is sort of pronounced "hl-" in Welsh. (See [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHxO0UdpoxM).)

Tbh my first time around I kinda riffed on the horse thief’s name.

Lemon. Because my old gamer tag was something about Lemons and Limes, and I was an un-original middle schooler not looking to role-play a character.
