    Default Seeking the ideal Bro name

    What's the most bro-eqse character name you can think of?

    I'm talking backwards baseball hat, branded t-shirts and sneakers, wallet chain, and a face perfect for either sneering or a ****-eating grin. The whole nine yards.

    Right now I'm thinking Kevin, because that's a traditional ******* kid name (no offense to Kevins out there! I know a very nice Kevin.), but I'm wondering if there's something better.

    I'm going to second the OP and say that Kevin is probably what I'd go with. It was the name that came to me immediately on seeing the thread title, before I'd read any of it.

    ...Though the weird thing is that I can't figure out why. There's no pop cultural source I'm consciously aware of, nor did I have any particular problems with Kevins in real life growing up.

    Check this game out! Or at least give it a thumbs up.
    Why "because the plot said so" is not a good answer.

    You could always go with a nickname. Anything that just slighty too unsubtly hints at sex, chasing women or having a large you know what. Hunter, Big [name], any common dog name.

    But Chad is good.

    Brice and Hunter should probably be added to the candidates list.
    I would really like to see a game made by Obryn, Kurald Galain, and Knaight from these forums.

    I'm not joking one bit. I would buy the hell out of that.

    I feel like Chad has become too stereotypical as a dudebro name. You need some like Thad or go beyond that into Tad, which sounds every bit as d-baggy but has the added bonus of sounding like he gave himself that name. Even Chad thinks this guy is a Chad.

    Try a name that's pretentious or just weird, you know, a name that crazy parents make up so their kid is ~unique~. Some examples I found online are:
    - Christop
    - Fellony (Seriously)
    - Track
    - Tripp

    This doesn't even count the fact that there are girls named "Abcde" and at one point an unfortunate young lady was named "Window Coverings (insert last name here)." People are weird.
    Quotes from my adventuring party:
    "They're not really innards anymore. They're out-ards."
    "Your lower back burns from the death glare of a dwarf."
    "What's Thor gonna do, zap me?"
    "Is it drugs?"
    "I set my weapons on the ground." "Do you set your brain down, too?"

    I would def say Chad. It seems to be the go to internet name anyway for the bro stereotype. Though, I have met a few fitting that description with the name of Nate (sorry out there if you're a cool Nate, we just haven't crossed paths yet).

    Thinking about it, I would say just go watch any MTV reality show.

    Bytheway, I missed this earlier, but Trip/Tripp isn't an actual name; its a nickname for Firstname Lastname III.
