I actually reserved my most creative names for Mages. I am not sure why. Some left over love from my Diablo 2 mage? I would always just pick hard to obtain names on other characters.

A use case for this data is creating a game and reserving the most popular 100 names. A few years down the road sell them for in-game currency or real life currency. Auction em to help support newer updates, etc.

I've got a system where I try to go for eterm but then fall back to aterm, zterm, gterm, cterm, nterm, etc.

Bizarrely though eterm is nearly always free despite being a fairly pretty word and being a real thing. (The enlightenment terminal).

Years ago in the whirlwind battle group there was this one guy multiboxing shamans (basically one player using multiple accounts at the same time, Blizzard willingly overlooked such things). He named his characters Atox, Btox, and Ctox. Whenever someone asked "Where's Dtox?" They'd all shout "REHAB!"
