Thread: Best kinship names you've ever seen

There was an old one on Arkenstone that always cracked me up not sure if they are still around.
Dorks that kill Orcs.

On Evernight one from way back was "warm brown socks" a reference to a Goon joke - (the Peter Sellers, Harry Secombe, Spike Milligan kind not those muppets in space )

One currently is "Hamsters con mal leche" - which I think is "Hamsters with bad milk" - just makes me go ###? - Must be a spanish thing.

There's another that's in elvish I can't remember but it looks cool - if unpronounceable.

I must plug (sorry) my guild name from wow "Novak and goode" which only works when said aloud quickly another spike milligan classic.

* that Minstrel Cramps was genius

The problem is, that this translation into Latin isn't really correct. Radix is a root like that of a carrot. Potatoes are rather bulbs (tuberi, hence the biological species name 'solanum tuberosum'). As the Romans didn't know that there is an America there, someone had to create an artificial name for the potato later on, and it became a pomum terrae (fruit of the earth) or patata. So the proper guild name would be patatae lectibus.

More Awesome Than Mordor

And that's on a Rp server as well....

*sighs* sometimes I wish I could report Kinship names.

Oh and I forgot about a now defunct kinship on Laurelin called "SuperCoolTeamAwesomesauce "

Sadly can't think of any Windfola kins with funny names.

IIRC, I saw one on Windy named "Veni Vidi Wipe",

And my all time favorite -

Finger In My Precious

ROFL those are hilarious....


Must say, some people are REALLY creative at this

Kin Name: ThreEVe
MotD: Texa$

That is all.

This might not be relevant but in the old GuildWars, guilds used to get a shortened tag to represent them, there were two guilds:

Guards United in Lore Democracy (ingame tag: GUILD)

and a more PvP oriented one 'Where's The Flagstand' (W-T-F)

Some time ago, I saw recently someone from 'Someone stole my ring' popping up.
I've also seen 'Gandalf's Duck Army'

The Old Forest Tree Climbers

Two Maidens One Chalice

Last night I saw one named "Just out for a Stroll"

I just made a "Defenders of the Pie" kin on Nimrodel for my family's guild. Most of us are hobbits so I thought it was cute.

Lol! German kin names can be fantastic. On Imladris, I have seen members of Die Zwiebelfreunde around a few times (which translates to The Onion-Friends). The members I've seen all have "Zwiebel" or "onion" somewhere in their character name too.

This #### is hilarious. Major props to all the creative thinkers.

On gladden ive seen some good ones. Some unfortunately i cant remember
The Bad Axes
Michel Delving Octet (was a hobbit mini kin that didnt last very long)
Dork Rising
Misty Mountaineers
Brohirrim

And there is one with skorgrim in it but cant remember it.

the kin i made idk if it still exists was called the order of the lonely shadows

Just saw on Crickhollow:

Green Dragon Mead Machine

once had my own kin called "world famous traveling circus" we were all hobbits

*coughs*
I believe Dungeon Raiders is pretty far up there...
Not that im biased or anything lol

Meneldor


Blood Bath And Beyond
Revolting Peasants
Menace to Sobriety
Married With Children

Itty Bitty Mini Committee on Snowbourn

I'm in Crickhollow, and there are some ODD ones! there are also some hilarious character names. I saw a character named anceparty, Daughter of Bleedingllama, and I almost fell out of my chair laughing. :P

Nazgul Stole My Bike amuses me.

Imladris:

Serious Kinship Names: The Northern Kingdom (Mine), Outlaws, The King's Army, Hunters of Moonshadow. (all I can think of at the moment)

Silly Kinship Names: Dude Where's My Goat (Only one I can think of at the moment)

My favorite so far has been "Burahobbits" in Vilya... ain't seen them in a while though =(

Always gave me a chuckle.

One of my favorites on Brandywine was "The Brute Squad". Good Princess Bride reference. Made me lol.

Maybe they're called SuperAwesomeTeamCoolSauce now.

Thanks to those mentioning "Not all who launder are washed" :-) We were started as a small n00b kin loosely affiliated with "Not all who wander are lost", so the pun had to be done!

I got a kick out of "Momma's Kin'

My favorite kin name I've seen on Crickhollow so far is "National Balrog Association." I wonder if they have their own blue and red logo with a white silhouette of Gandalf in the middle...

Forochel Bobsled Team

and I didn't see it around long, most like a GM yanked the name...

Wight Power

Still think Aragorn's Allies is an awesome kin name.

on a funnier side...

"Weekend at YO MAMMA'S" of Windfola
but they are no longer around

Don't know if it's already been mentioned...

World of Wargcraft

Warg-only tribe on Gilrain.

My Kin, "Deeds Not Words"

and Archet Fire dept is cool too.

Actually there are so many cool named kinships.....

I always liked "Dragon Snacks"

I remember a kinship called Secret Society of Secret Stuff, can't remember what server though, either Brandywine, Landroval or Elendilmir.

my alt guild is Dales Pale Ale House. most if not all of my chars are from the dale lands, so i RP my kin house as a beer hall. kegs everywhere
