It's small, yes, but we will manage.

Ehhh. We're not even newbies...

*flops*

Ooh... Nice.

Nimbus was an intentional last name. I wanted something related to clouds and nimbus popped out at me. Colt however, was something I sort of tacked on...

I usually use a baby name site to find names with meanings I like.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one that does this. XD I have a 20,001 Baby Names book around here somewhere that I leaf through when I can't think of anything.

[Swordstar]

Hahaha oh good I'm glad *I'm* not the only one who does that.

[Rolepgeek]

I went with Cidney because Cid+Sydney.

I just randomly though of a name, and I happened to like the sound of O'Connor, at least in my head.
EDIT: As for Captain Bloodbeard, I just wanted to make a pirate since NEF2-2 is going to involve the sea, and Captain Bloodbeard just has a nice ring to it.

Hahaha oh good I'm glad *I'm* not the only one who does that.

My, and I'll agree with both of you; I find those sites quite helpful whenever creating characters.  Behind the Name is a boon to heavy-handed symbolism everywhere. ^_^

...I'm going to have to start bookmarking some of this stuff.

[Swordstar]

I use this one personally.

[SeriousConcentrate]

Both of those are good; I've used them before. :3 There's also the Onomastikon.

...I'm going to have to start bookmarking some of this stuff.

Hmmm, I can pull out a few more of my bookmarks, if you like:

Rinkworks name generator - Like Xan's link, only with a template option (that I've never really used).
Iranian names - A bit more exhaustive than Behind the Name (and probably even more inaccurate, but I don't think we have any Farsi here). 
Medieval Naming Guides: Pages to Avoid - A reference for the rest of us
Scythian Words - "Build your own name."  Useful when I was playing a civilization game as the Saka, and it's not like there are any Saka around to correct me if I flub up. ^_^

[SeriousConcentrate]

Oh, if we're throwing out random name generators then you guys can have YAFNAG too.

Dude, Powder, use a vuln.

[Powder Miner]

oh hur that would be wise
also, look at the first page of the board
OUR FEF SHALL BLOT OUT THE SUN

[Swordstar]

Yeah, it's times like these that make me understand why people want us to get our own board...
