I’ve just come across the concept of the Family Name in Black Desert Online and since most of you here are already playing, I had to ask: How did you handle it?

I’m a roleplayer at heart and I don’t know yet if we (Marrra & I) will be roleplaying in BDO (If we feel it, we will love to) and hence a name that covers ALL alts means to be creative in some way to make it plausible.

Since it has to be unique, for instance, Marrra and I cannot collectively use “Jasara” as we tend to do when able for a married couple, we will have to rethink this. My idea was to perhaps do a name like a Clan or House Name, for example, like a company/trust.

Did anyone else have that issue and how did you deal with it?

The topic that brought this up was:

http://www.blackdesertroleplayers.com/mobile/forum/viewthread/m/33755660/id/24782889-how-are-you-handling-family-name

And...

I used my gaming/game forum gaming name Nadaji as my family name, as that is what I'm am known by everywhere.

I used one of the 2 names I usually use in games (Trixilly) because of the ordering - your family name shows up on top first followed by your character name.  Since I've been using this name for a very long time, that's most recognizable for me and what I went with.  Had the placement been more westernized I'd have chosen differently.

I would normally use my main online name (Jayvenpup) but that would be odd for a family name. Our Jasara name was a combination of our real given names, so I think we're going Jasara and Marson as our worst case.

EDIT: Ah yes, above the name. I forgot on that.. so it could look like a username rather than a family. That may be a good idea!

Since you're playing with your Wife and want to have similar names, perhaps you can do a hyphen like women do in real life with their maiden name. So something like "Maiden Name-Jasara for her and Jasara for you.

Just take a good name that you will be happy with. I went with Rooke, as it represents my other guild (who aren't playing BDO), and it sounds great with my preferred first names.

It's more of an account-wide ID, than a "surname".  I'm not sure if "Family" was a translation thing, or if they wanted to appeal to role-players.

Some treat it as a surname, others just use it as a global ID.  You can do whatever makes you the most comfortable.

I'm going to treat it as an ID as I would prefer to be seen as a name others are familiar with when I am on any of my alts.

Thanks guys, hope this helps anyone else who has the same conflicting issue :) Time to update my signature, me thinks.

At least now I am prepped and almost have a fully updated game for the weekend. All I am missing now is a guest pass *wink wink*

Pretty sure I have two passes coming and have only committed one of them.  I'll check tonight after work.  Would be happy to let you have the other one.  I just need to figure out how that all works.  I'll PM you on these forums once I do.

I went with Llew as both family name and primary character name.  Looks a bit strange seeing

LLew

LLew

above my head, but at least it matches my forum and voice chat name for a change.  I usually find that name is already taken in games I play.

Thanks, Llew. If anything, I'd recommend it gets put up on the Marketplace actually since then you get a reward out of it at the least.

Either way, I'll keep an eye on the site when I get home tonight to nab two keys, one way or another.

EDIT: Thanks, Llew, for the key!

I actually went the route of being a family name so all my toons will be under Crionna which was Briseadh's surname in Warhammer and other game I felt like adding a surname.

There is a married couple that did the family name with one extra L or something added to be really similar at a quick glance.

But it is up to you and isn't going to be a big deal on the RP side in my opinion.

Don't mess with Mama Bear, I might hug you too tight. =D

Mine is locked in as Jayvenpup (up to making first toon) when I see you all over the weekend (no idea if Guest Pass can join a guild). I'm at work at present while copying the files to Marrra's PC for tonight.

As for the last name, I'll work out a way I think to incorporate last names in the RP I think if we get into it. Crossing fingers everything ticks the boxes for Marrra and myself!

I try to stick to the same names across the board be it SWoR or something like this. I'm normally Ifearnán and my better half is Alcarae. It works as both an identifier, but they are also character names that evolved with us from Live Action RP. 

Hopefully get to join you all here shortly, had to reformat 2 laptops, now waiting for the Installer to finish.

I chose to go with Darkenwald, my family names because it's a unique surname that I'm going to start adapting across games that use it.  While Sekkerhund, is my global nick that binds my overall gamer identity to any activities, I don't really have anything that ties my many alts together, whether it be in one game or across several.

Besides, Sekkerhund on top of all of my toon names would look silly, including the one I named Sekkerhund.

I have used my family name of Phelan in many many games for the year.

 

I like to look up words in Gaelic and Celtic dictionaries and just roll with it.
