I honestly don't like most of the hero names in game. I think you should take all of them (not just the purple and gold heroes’ names) and toss them.
I mean, we have heroes named Catherine, Virginia, Emma and so on. IRL there’s nothing wrong with these names but in a fantasy game they are just misplaced.
There are many reasons why Tolkien’s stories are as good as they are. One of them is that he made up almost every single name in the stories to match his characters. Yeah, I know that names like Sam, Tom and Bill were used as well but would it have made a difference if Legolas had been named Leopold? Aragorn had been named Aaron? Or Gimli had been named Geoff? I think so.
And while we’re at it, you should change the names of the NPC’s too. Alice Dreamwalker and Fred Alexander? Seriously?? Names like Dreamwalker and Dawnbringer and the likes has never worked for me. They are just good examples of poor imagination.
There are many excellent name generators on the internet that you can use for free but better yet, why don’t you sit down and make up the names yourselves?
Here’s 7 names that I just came up with that you can use for the female heroes if you want:
Lynetty, Zinyon, Yitheni, Arwaima, Seemorna, Zaluva, Minary.
Don’t know if they work for you – it is just an example that making up new names are not that hard and done properly it can give your heroes and therefore the game an extra dimension.
I’m sorry if I sound too negative . This is a great game that I enjoy a lot.
