    Default Spontaneous nicknames from Belkar




    To honor the old Halfling tradition of addressing others with spontaneous nicknames that make sense (instead of the garbage some questionable 'authority' has given them) and in spirit of the thread Belkar's colorful names for other characters (who brought this madness upon us), I want to collect all 'names' the one and only Belkar Bitterleaf (which probably is a name the Belkster bestowed upon himself) uses.

    So without furder ado, here is a table containing the so far used 'names', presented in a sortable table - so if you find the chronological order boring, you can simple sort it by alphabet or character addressed

    Strip # Name Addressee
    Uncivil Servant (p.3) click-face Ankheg
    Uncivil Servant (p.8) Ali S. Fakenamington Belkar
    Uncivil Servant (p.9) badass ranger Belkar with cloak
    Uncivil Servant (p.9) brokeass ranger Belkar in dirty rags
    Uncivil Servant (p.11) Lowlife Thug #1 Brint
    Uncivil Servant (p.11) Lowlife Thug #2 Shart
    Uncivil Servant (p.11) these two scuzzbuckets Brint and Shart
    Uncivil Servant (p.13) Dough Boy Mayor
    OtOoPCs (p. 62) Friar Tuck Monk
    OtOoPCs (p. 62) a man with a REAL class Belkar
    OtOoPCs (p. 66) Mr. Principal Roy

    *Several of these were contributed by Belkar, but it is not possible to discern which came from him.
    Some things to be aware of:
    • If you find something not listed, please point it out (best with the strip, so I can put it in the right place). To make this a complete collection I need some help
    • I will collect any reference from Belkar to anyone/anything else (including himself and non-character stuff like Evil Father Patrol or Happy Fun Sunshine Land - because it is way too awesome not to list )
    • I will track multiple usages from different strips (though not within one strip) and/or bonus material
    • I will not be overly strict (in fact I will not dismiss any finding) on what count as 'name' or whether something can be listed or not. If it is something said by Belkar that addresses some character I consider it as fair game
    • Any type of feedback/questions/comments/improvement ideas are welcome, so feel free to post

    I dunno if we can count Bloodfeast there. As far as we know, that's his real name after joining up with the Order.

    I know - I have considered to put Bloodfeast into the original name column, too . But either way I think it should be listed.

    Minor quibble: if I remember correctly, Belkar didn't call himself Ali S. Fakenamington. I thought the mayor called him that because he forgot to give his name. (Will have to double check my PDF when I have time for more than a drive-by posting.)

    Spoiler: Uncivil Servant

    The panel before the newspaper ends with the major questioning a leaving Belkar "Wait - what IS your name, brave adventurer?".
    So while we technically don't have the confirmation that Ali S. Fakenamington is used by Belkar, I think if Belkar wouldn't have answered the question, a better headline would be "Ankheg slain by anonymous hero". Asking someone for their name and then just inventing something sounds not that reasonable to me.

    Edit: On page 11 the mayor greets him with "Oh, it's you, Fakenamington." - this imo makes only really sense if Belkar said he was Ali S. Fakenamington.


    Edit: some additional detail

    In the case of a name like "ears", which Belkar uses frequently, do we count each instance or just the first one?

    I would list all instances - it allows to see which alternatives Belkar uses regularly and which are only a one-off.

    Alright, he calls Vaarsuvius "ears" in 107. In the same strip he calls them "pointy-eared, purple-haired, ambiguously-gendered pain in my ass."

    Edit: found a few more

    Title should be "What characters should really be called," not "How ..."

    The answer to "How" would be an adverb (loudly, cautiously, rudely, etc.) or a methodology. The answer to "What" is the actual word or phrase being used to address them.

    Thanks for all the input . I will add them later, when I have the time to do so.

    I personally don't really want to draw any lines what qualifies and what not. Unless there is objection against it, I will collect any non-trivial* statement Belkar uses instead of the "normal" name.

    *So I don't want to collect every time Belkar calls V "elf" or Miko "paladin". If Belkar provides additional important content about that person, I think it is fair game.

    That's a standard euphemism for sex, not a personal name for Haley and Elan.

    well if were allowing things like "Ambiguously gendered pain in my ass" I don't see how that wouldn't fit the criteria.

    The full "ambiguously-gendered" sobriquet is "Pointy-eared, purple-haired, ambiguously-gendered pain in my ass", from panel 6 of Defense is for Losers (OOTS #107).

    How about extending the list to cover all characters, not just Belkar? So we could have Thog's Talky-Man and Not-Nale, as well as Celia's Soul-Patch.

    Wow, and I thought the first thread would feature a rather large amount of nicknames.
    I now have the feelings that this was only the tip of the iceberg. Thanks for all contributions - and massive update incoming soonish.

    As basically outlined above I personally don't want to open the discussion "is X a name or not". If someone points to something (that hits the bar minimum, i.e. Belkar addressing another character (or group of characters) with something else than their normal name*) I will include it.

    Yes, some things probably are a (more or less) big stretch to call names. But first it somewhat matters in context (e.g. why does Durkon get premium top notch names whereas V only gets some kind of random slurs?), second there are some really awesome things that if I'm honest aren't really names (like Sexy shoeless good of war) and lastly I don't really want to spent that much time to figure out whether something is a name or isn't a name. [And I have seen things while searching a bit that I will not include in the list, because I think there don't fit here - but should someone point them out, I will include them.]

    If If there is enough demand for such a distinction, I will not enforce my opinion onto this thread and change that stance. But I think this would shift this thread from "lets find funny things Belkar said" to "is <this> a name or not?". And the second one does sound kinda stupid to me.

    *Or nickname with general widespread use. From the top of my hat the only thing that should be in this category is "V" for Vaarsuvius

    On this I'm not sure - what do others think about it? Should we track other things than characters? Should we list places? Or maybe even other things (if that even really happens)?

    I'm open to the general idea, but I don't want to "derail" the thread, unless that is what the people here want.

    Basically the same as above (if other people really want it), with a strong personal opinion of not wanting to do it. First of all I think it doesn't add that much (noticeable counterexample would probably be Xykon - but he doesn't even remember any name, so I'm not sure whether that should be count. Belkar on the other side demonstrates more than often that he does remember the names of other characters.) and second of all it adds a whole new layer of problems to the question "how to best organize this collection?" [and keeping is simple isn't that bad].

    I agree, don't take “name” too strongly. Further, note that Belkar specifically uses capital letters in many of these examples, and he says “the Beast with Two Backs” with capital letters in particular.

    hehe, it's fun when threads help each other. I was reading some old comics to vote in Porthos' "Stick Awards" thread and found this:

    #435
    Shlubbo Noname-zaki, refering to a "noname" soldier during Azure City's battle.

    Yeah - found that one too . Already corrected before I have seen your post


    And is ironically listed basically with the inverse reasoning of why it is included in the Number of Character Appearences Thread

    A. Well, it could be his real name. Either way, it's funny.

    Just noticed your update, and I think that "Herman Munster" actually refers to the Flesh Golem, who (which?) looks just like Herman. My bad for not clarifying the nominations in the previous post.

    [Edit: oh, on the topic of whether to include places, I think it makes sense, as the Belkster tends to aptly-name them in the same spirit as he does people (mockery, mostly).]

    [Edit˛: Does Blondie count?]

    Oh, I didn't see the questions about what this thread should include. I'm all for us including places and other character's nicknamings, as long is it is shown who is giving the nicknames.
