I have an adventure coming up with several Aqualish NPCs (about 8 or so, with 3/4 of them being male) planned, but I haven't been able to find very many samples of Aqualish names. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Some I have used:

Yando Barro

Bo Nabba

Wol Sido

Waru Mano

Jumo Yaga

Tinda Nuba

Aqualish names have a very basic structure. Both first and names tend toward an alternation of consonants and vowels (Cvcv) with double-consonant variations (Cvccv or Cvcc), and are usually one or two syllables long. There are some instances of three syllable Aqualish names, but they tend to follow the same rule, alternating consonants and vowels (Cvcvcv), again with some variations. It is rare to find an Aqualish name beginning with a vowel sound (other than a Y). While all consonant sounds are found in Aqualish names, it should be noted that hard consonants tend to be more prevalent. There are exceptions to every rule, of course, such as Aqualish Senator Gorothim Vagger.

Names:

• Dulo Nara
• Ko Borodin
• Jado Bor
• Rumko Wun
• Banda Dobodin
• Gom Munbo
• Ru Paba
• Tumbo Towabo
• Doda Mob
• Hom Dundun

Doug.

i like to throw in a name that is just out of place to one of them. like name one stan, or doug like Crimson Death suggested. make him a black sheep with the group of aqualish for some fun comic relief.

Yes...

"Three aqualish thugs surround you. They introduce themselves as, Oogta, Grostu and Bob."

The only sounds I wouldn't use are 'f', 'v', & 'th'. Dental fricatives have got to be tough with those chompers.

Ever since one of my friends introduced a walrus-man NPC based off "The Captain" from Xenogears, we've tried to work a version of him into all our games.

For Star Wars, we've got an Aqualish salvage operator: Walir Uzman

I might me an Aqualish!!

Gorothim Vagger (from Star Wars, Episode II: Attack of the Clones) would disagree.

Since I work in health care, I've often used medications as "sci-fi"-ish names. For the Aqualish, how about:

Depo Provera

Levo Dopa

Carbi Dopa

Kükü Kachoo.....

get it?

cuz he's a walrus?

I am the walrus?

Yeah, Doug sounds good.

Thulsa Doom

Khrom Mitra

Ghur Thos

Horc Luge

How about "Hedoe Sn'tlike-yoo"?

I always thought their names would be more like:

Thblth!blth^bltht

or

Pthtfthul*tht!pthpit

! = glotal stop

^ = tonal rise

* = intake vowel

Zoidberg!

Couldn' resist ^^
