Contest: Give Syp A Last Name!
November 11, 2008
At rank 20, you not only are given the opportunity to purchase a mount/flying keg of beer, but the chance to bestow on your character a surname. You don’t have to, of course, but some people can’t resist the urge to pair up a pithy first and last name to create a pseudonym that they only WISHED their parents would’ve given them.
So here’s the contest of the day: I’m going to be giving Syp a last name. But one of YOU guys are going to come up with it. Write down your suggestions in the comments section, as many as you like, and I’ll choose the best and go with it!
(Want to know how to get a last name? You have to find a “Name Registrar” in your respective capital city, which would be Saldis Stormrend in the Inevitable City and Registrar Harlen in Altdorf. Pony up four gold, and come up with a last name that’s between 3 and 14 letters long! Last names are not permanent — you can change them for four gold any time you want, or delete them altogether.)

Syp Onthis
Syp Nsyd
Very first thing I thought of when I read the title. I don’t know how apparent it is to you, but to me it reads as sip and side and comes from me thinking of slip and slide. Why? I don’t know but there it is.
Syp Orcsapper
Syp Greensapper

Syp Rowsdower!

Syp Nwhiskey
Syp Erhero

Syp Wordwriter
Syp O’Beer
What better name for a dwarf. Then again it would depend on if you are on a RP server. You would not want the name police after you.

the name of my character (marauder) is Rainbows Kittles
I like *hammer/axe/any-tool-name as dwarfen surnames.. and ores, metals and such are also nice…
), Frostaxe .. all imo good dwarfen names.
So.. Goldhammer, Ironaxe, Firehammer (though I saw an NPC with that name, so my dwarf took another name
Good dwarf surnames – Ironfist (the name of the King)
Or son after any of the first names listed here
ok it’s a cop out but nevermind. My dwarf Groki will have the surname Thorgrothson as this was a Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay character I used to have
Syp Stoutheart
Syp Sturdykeg
Syp Sypalous
McFly!
Why not:
Syp hilis = Syphilis
Although I don’t know if an STD name would be funny for more than a week. You could always change it again!
@ Inquisitor goody
Syp cant do Sonof….unless theres some unique roleplaying going on…
Ok, I can’t resist posting this one. It was the first thing that popped into my head.

Well I decided the Rivs my toon should be like Madonna no last name. I think you should do the same.
Syp should go last nameless.

I really like the idea of mentioning you’re a blogger somehow. Syp Nonsyrup was my first idea: “Sippin on some sizzurup!”

My vote would be for Syp Wrecked. This manages to include not only a clever play on words, but also the general alcholic levels of a dwarf, and even a reference to Syp’s habit of getting squashed

I was having a bad day lol. It does mention on the site the female alternative though.
Syp Drow
word pies backwards :p
omg
“Syp O’Beer” by Griz up above…when I saw that, any thought I had of a name was completely scrubbed from my brain. While the real Syp may not enjoy beer (iirc?) the Dwarf Syp wouldn’t be a proper dwarf not to. However, I think it’s common knowledge that no dwarf “sips” beer…but Syp is an uncommon and sophisticated dwarf, so I think it fits.
It’s got my vote.
hmm
Syp Yalip
How about Syp Hered
Syp Erbonbon
Syp Ergirl
Syp.
The name is short, noticable and to the point. If you add a last name, I find it is harder for people to tell that it’s you while they are stomping your face into the ground.
My name in game is “Poets” and I feel it stands our rather nicely, compared to “Poets lastnamehere” and add a title and guildname after that, and you then have a small paragraph.
“IT’S SYP! KILL HIM!” Is much easier than “IT’S SYP LASTNAMERHERE so go kill him!!”
Syp Foggybottom
2 ales + a Karaoke machine and you’ll be knocking them dead with “Man of Constant Sorrow” (the Foggy Bottom Boys hit from the film “Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?”).
Much as I like my own entry though, Syp Wrecked rocks.
[...] November 11th, to be precise — I asked the hallowed members of the Warhammer Online community to bestow upon me their best and brightest ideas for a surname. Syp lacked lineage, but I’m happy to report that today… that is no [...]
