Wait a sec. How did you two meet, anyway? I'm guessing that in a Board full of (mainly) Americans, two Brits would stick out, but now I'm curious. If you don't mind telling, how did you end up together?
It's just one of those silly 'what would your ___ name be?' type things. Basically, you just find the corresponding letter for your first name and last name, and if you really want to throw in some silliness, there's even middle names based on your birth month!
I would have loved to do names for Stus as well, but I kind of drew a total blank for male names...
So, without further ado:
First Name/ Last Name
A- Krystal/ Baggins
B- Sapphire/ Fairheart
C- Raven/ Wildsong
D- Aurora/ Swiftblade
E- Felina/ Dragonflame
F- Odette/ Greenleaf
G- Hunter/ Jackson
H- Kat/ Potter
I- Kallista/ Hawke
J- Serenity/ Ryder
K- Nyx/ Malfoy
L- Ordellya/ Harkness
M- Arianna/ Way
N- Jade/ Evenstar
O- Anastasia/ the Wanderer
P- Amethyst/ Brightsoul
Q- Dianna/ Dumbledore
R- Artemis/ of Rohan
S- Esmeralda/ Tyler
T- Sapphire/ Ringbearer
U- Isabelle/ the Wanderer
V- Claryssa/ Swanne
W- Melody/ Granger
X- Seraphina/ of the Gods
Y- Opalline/ the Light
Z- Daphne/ Firedancer
Month
January- Ivy
February- Butterfly
March- Blossom
April- Tianna
May- Glimmer
June-Silver
July- Diamond
August- Brooke
September- Dove
October- Soul
November- Trixie
December- Heather
If anyone's curious, my Sue name would be Esmeralda Glimmer of Rohan.
I think I just threw up a little.
What are your Sue names?(^_^)/
I got Kallista Dove Brightsoul. Please, kill me.
Speaking of Mary Sues, does anyone know a good Walking Dead Mary Sue?
Raven Trixie Potter is about as stereotypical as one can get. Bone thin, named after her inevitable "raven hair" but lumbered with Trixie as a real name by her totally abusive parents who don't give her exactly what she wants and are therefore literally Satan.
I await her incineration via Hermione with great anticipation. =]
Raven Blossom Fairheart
Sounds vaguely interesting, actually. Maybe I can charm animals into doing my bidding with my voice and/or hypnotic dance skills? (Seriously, Disney!Esmeralda was a good dancer.)
I could be from any fantasy continuum! That's the best part! I probably wouldn't be a luster, though; not too many fictional crushes. I think I'd be more of a "Best Friend Sue". You know, the kind that always gets to be bestest buddies with the author's favorite no matter what?
Based on names I got from the list.Wish me luck
Nyx Butterfly of Rohan was going to marry her tue luv Legolas, win he waz KIDNAPED by that bitch Arwin!!!. Now she must go on a quest with her BFFs Artemis Ringbearer and Sapphire Swiftblade because their twue luffs Draco and Wolverine were KIDNAPED two!!. They also meet a wise wizard named Raven Fairheart who gives them awesome magical powerz. She then tellz tim to go meat her friends Kyrstal Malfoy and Esmrelda Wildsong whoze boy friends were kinapped tooo! PLEAZE REVEIW
I'm not going to lie, that was fun.
Also I've noticed that the list repeated the name Sapphire. Can we change that to Sakura, or maybe Hikari? I've seen that name a lot in bad anime fan fiction.

Feel free to change one of the Sapphires. I wanted to include some Japanese names, but I'd probably end up inadvertently insulting people. >D
Also, I was giggling so hard at that passage... thing... I almost sprayed milk out of my nose. Ow.
Since the surname is Potter, I will recast my Stu self as Dreaded Master Potter the Undying. He will insist to all of his mind-controlled underlings that "Master" is his real first name, and thus they should refer to him as such both in the formal and casual senses, though deep in their minds, buried somewhere in the vestigial portion of themselves that still experiences free will even under the unending torrent of Aura of Smooth, every one of them will doubt him. Some will even laugh. Well, laugh as best they can with the mind-clamp that prevents them from making fun of him in place. I imagine Krystal Potter would have a number of issues about mockery of his name, so that clamp would be the first thing he patches into his mind-control field.
Huh. I am Sapphire Ivy Fairheart. I will laugh out loud now. Ha, ha, ha! XD.
Where did you find this again?
Oh, that's great! Good job with it.
How did you make it? I mean, obviously you did some research and stuff.
But this is very interesting. High five to you. (sends air five)
I just picked names of Sues I've seen out of my brain. Arianna and Raven and Seraphina are fairly common names, as are things like gemstones and nature.
I did swap some of the names around (like I had Malfoy, Potter and Dumbledore all close to each other at first, but I wanted to space them out a bit) but mostly I went down the list, putting in the first Sueish name that came to mind.
It doesn't sound too hard. Obviously, to make one of these, time and effort need to go into this to make it perfect, but...
Anyway, good job.
You work with Mary Sues much?
But the only mission I've completed so far is the one involving Ordellya Dumbledore. Still, Randa and I are working on a Twilight Princess mission right now and World-Jumper and I are working on an MLP mission. S'fine stuff.
There are a few other fics I'm thinking about for the future, but there's only the two to occupy me now.
If you want, when you get Permission, your primary agent can be shoved on a mission with Rina. Give you a chance to learn the ropes and all. Randa and I won't be in contact forever, so I'm going to need another agent, but maybe between Randa leaving and Rina getting her new partner... ^_-
I'll take your offer under consideration. Of course, I need to pick out which of my Agents in my list are the central one, and I'll need to choose which ones will die, and when, but after that, and I get permission, we can see about collaborating, sure.
Do you have an account on the PPC wiki page? I might have an easier time contacting you through there. I still haven't mastered the Board yet.
And nothing says you need a central agent, I'm just planning on having Rina be my constant.
You will now make a list for the Gary Stus. This is embarrassing. >:(
I have a friend whose mother's name is Alicia Ann Anthony Allan.
So that would make her Krystal Krystal Baggins Baggins.
I wish I knew her birth month so I could throw that in, too. :P
Except I'm a guy, so... actually, no, that makes it even better.
But first, my Sue name: Felina Silver the Light. Could also claim "of Rohan" if I wanted to use my maiden name.
So, Gary Stus. In my observations, Stus tend not to have overly flowery names. The name might make a statement about who they are, what they're about, etc., and they might use a code-name instead of their real name, and they might steal the name of a cool canon character; but otherwise any suitably tough-sounding guy name will do. Here are some I've thought of or lifted from the Slain Mary Sues category:
1. Shadow
2. Blade
3. Jack
4. John
5. Viper
6. Steel
7. Blaze
8. Spike
9. Angel
10. Matrix
11. Mace
12. Ronin
Last names will probably be descriptive, stolen, or not exist at all, because one-word names are badass. You could also forgo a first name and just pick one of these. Here are some ideas:
1. (too cool for a last name)
2. the Wolf
3. Silverblade
4. the Hedgehog
5. Freeman
6. 3000
7. Black Death [yes, I have actually seen this]
8. Skywalker
9. X
10. (way too cool for a last name)
11. the Wanderer
12. the Gunslinger
Middle names... eh, not likely. So, what other Stuish first and last names can we come up with?
~Neshomeh
Complete list is here! Same rules apply: go by the first letter of your first name and the first letter of your last name for your Stu first and last name. Then, if you want, use your birth month to get an *awsum* title.
Letter - First name / Last name
A - Blade / (too cool for a last name)
B - Spike / 3000
C - Jack / Silverblade
D - Steel / the Hedgehog
E - Matrix / Freeman
F - Adonis / Strife
G - Hawk / Nightstalker
H - Shade / Cullen
I - Jet / Blood
J - Shadow / (way too cool for a last name)
K - John / Black Death
L - Angel / Skywalker
M - Maverick / the Wanderer
N - Ace / Greystorm
O - Xerxes / the Assassin
P - Falcon / Starkiller
Q - Brock / 117
R - Ronin / (the) Wolf
S - Mace / X
T - Blaze / the Gunslinger
U - Leroy / Jenkins
V - Lance / Stark
W - Hiro / Deathstrike
X - Sephiroth / Holmes
Y - Stryker / Dragonborn
Z - Drake / Demonslayer
Month - Title
January - Captain
February - Commander
March - Darth
April - Master
May - Special Agent
June - Lord ("Dark" optional)
July - Consulting Detective
August - Sir
September - Dread Pirate
October - Sergeant
November - Baron (If you get this, you may also use "von" before your last name. Replace "the" if necessary.)
December - Lieutenant Commander
---
I'm Lord Matrix the Wolf. Went with my maiden name this time. *g*
~Neshomeh
For my Sue name, I got Kallista Dove Brightsoul.
For my Stu name (hooray for gender accuracy!) I am Dread Pirate Jet Starkiller. Also... The Hedgehog... 117... SKYWALKER... Remind me to kill any Stus I find.
Which doesn't sound *awsum* enough to me, so I think I'll tweak it slightly to 'Master of the Bloody Mace' :)
"Mace Silverblade." Sounds either like a Jedi or some kind of weapons expert.
But that "Lt." part is pretty interesting, especially given that my favorite Pokémon move is Zap Cannon! (A virtual cookie to anyone who can figure out the connection.)
The Lightning American Lieutenant Surge, electric Gym Leader of the Kanto region. Cookie, please!
Not too bad a name actually.
Yes, liberties have been taken with the naming scheme - but Captain Steel Blackdeath scorns your feeble protestations! He also scorns not writing his name in bold.
And of course, this calls for a summary of the greatest story ever (not) told!
Captain Steel Blackdeath has spent his life crushing in the service of Steve Rugged, Space Commander. Now, unexpectedly, he finds himself stranded in an unfamiliar world - one where crushing is not an option. Will he survive? Will he prosper? And will he find love in the arms of the innocent maid, Aurora Ivy Malfoy?
(There's definitely room for a 'love that crushes like a mace' joke in there somewhere, but I just can't find it. :()hS Captain Steel Blackdeath
*decodes Stu name*
You have the same initials IRL as Donkey Kong? Oh, the comedic possibilities!
Jack Special Agent 3000
I kinda wanted Dread Pirate John Freeman... oh well.
Now I'm Sir Ace. That's it. I never thought I was too cool to have a last name before…
I think I'll just stick with my Fanfiction.net pen name: THE DARK LORD DUROTH.
Mwahahahaha.
*blush*
So my name would be Special Agent Mace Matrix the Wolf. (Month, first, middle, last)
Mace Matrix... I'm kind of digging it. Especially the Special Agent' bit.
I'm starting to get an idea for Rina's eventual second partner. Reformed Stu named, of course, Mace Matrix. (Nobody said he had to lose his fondness for weird names.)
Rina would be Special Agent Ronan Matrix the Hedgehog, and Iximaz is Jet.
Maybe Jet Matrix? ...nah, it doesn't have the same ring to it.
(Also: Cullen?!)
I wasn't planning to come up with 90% of it myself when I started, but I figured if I waited any longer for suggestions, the thread would fall from notice. Also, I'm getting on a bus in a few hours to go see my brother graduate from college.
Y'know, I didn't play with my agent names before...
Jennifer Robinson - Serenity of Rohan / Shadow the Wolf
Supernumerary (let's pretend his initials are S.N.) - Baron Mace von Greystorm (okay, that's kind of awesome) / Esmeralda Trixie Evenstar
Ilraen-Aroline-Fothergill - Jet "Blade" Strife / Kallista "Krystal" Greenleaf
Derik - Steel / Aurora
Gall Bonecrusher - Hunter Fairheart / Hawk 3000
'Scuse, gonna go laugh my butt off now. {X D
~Neshomeh
No, it's not mine. It's from somebody on some Guild Wars 2 forum.
But now, it's the Hawk 3000!
No, it's not mine. It's from somebody on some Guild Wars 2 forum.
But now, it's the Hawk 3000!
Not much has changed, but we live underwater.
Because if so, I think it might be worthy of carrying the Hawk 3000 name. If not, the best it'll probably be able to get is somewhere along the lines of Hawk 2400, especially since its wings appear to be attached to its tail by one of those flight feathers/batlike finger extensions. That's going to play havoc with its ability to alter its own lift/drag ratio.
Seriously, imagining the agents running into their Sue'd and/or Stu'd versions of themselves is funny enough as it is- but Nume meeting Esmeralda Trixie Evenstar? *dies*
I wasn't expecting this to become so popular! It was just a derpy idea that plopped into my head while one of my friends was showing me some Moon Moon memes.
Also, congrats to your brother! Give him a hug/high five from me and tell him it's from a random person you met on the internet who is friendly to everyone as long as face-to-face encounters aren't necessary. (Because in that case I just kind of clam up and want people to stop judging me.)
A perfect RP subject: agents meeting their Suvian counterparts during some strange wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey event.
... And the scary thing is, Desdendelle was already calling me "Sarge" before...
AWESOME!
Fun fact: Blaze X is an Irish rock band from the 80s. I did not know that until on a whim I decided to search Blaze X. Interesting.
Also, since we are talking about Gary Stus, I thought I'd drop the names of Marvin and Printworthy's EPC counterparts.
Printworthy: Typeface
Marvin: Major Admiral Reginald Von Ictor the Ninth.
the German preposition (which would translate to Reginald of Ictor the Ninth), it shouldn’t be capitalized.
Baron Shadow Shade von Nightstalker (probably the First and Only, using my real and fictional first names).
Two questions:
1) Are you for real? Either "Shadow" or "Shade" is your first name? That would be cool if it's true!
Let me guess, though: if that's indeed the case, your name is actually a German word that happens to translate to one of those two words, right?
2) Are you really German? I ask because I'm curious (and if you are as well, there's actually a thread from less than a year ago where I ask about people's ethnicities).
Besides, This Is A Stu We're Talking About. He Does Not Care For Your Grammar Rules.
You Know, I Feel Like This Is Some Homestuck Troll's Quirk. Darned If I Knew Who's Though. I Don't Read Homestuck, So How Should I Know?
Although she colours her text emerald green-ish and forgoes punctuation. For reference, Outhra can do a great Kanaya impression.
Of course a Stu doesn’t care.
Basically the PPC's evil twin.
I'm working on assembling a full list that will work basically the same way as Iximaz's Sue-name list. Then you can see what you'll actually get. {= )
As of right now, I still need five more first names and five more last names. Suggestions appreciated!
~Neshomeh
Because, you know. Donut Steel.
I feel ridiculous instead of embarrassed now. Somebody please put me out of my misery.
But as a Stu, I'm nobody on this list. Shade Sunhunter is me. Harharhar… Jade Wildsong Baggins… *gurgles in unfathomable rage and desperation*
Blade?
*checks list* Well, darn.
Shade?
*checks list* Nah, you've got Shadow.
Ace?
*checks list* Yay!
First names: Ace, Hawk, Stryker, Drake
Last names: Greystorm, Demonslayer
I'm stuck now. :/
January - Captain
February - Commander
March - Special Agent
April - Darth
Etc.
~Neshomeh
'Darth' for a first name would be... Interesting... *random Stu charges up* 'I'm Darth Shadowblade!'
Welcome to the Force.
By the way... Do I see some Buffy the Vampire Slayer in there? :o
I hesitated about throwing Spike and Angel on there, but Spike definitely had to be there, and I figured Angel would be good for those obnoxiously self-righteous Stus. *g*
You may be interested to know, the "Black Death" second name comes from "Liam Black Death son of Angel and Buffy The Shadow Slayer." {X P I might kill that one, but I haven't decided yet.
... Heh. Just imagine if you got "Blade Shadowblade," "Blade Silverblade," or "Shadow Shadowblade."
~Neshomeh
I assume it was supposed to lead here?
... So it does. Damn. O.o
And yes, that is the correct link. Thanks!
~Neshomeh, who should maybe consider not driving or operating heavy machinery if she can't catch a mistake like that. >.

Or that's what it would be if I was a Sue. According to a random online Gary Stu name generator my name is more accurately Cameron Dalziel Haviland.
Wow. Sapphire Butterfly. That's not too bad of a pony mane actually. Perhaps a breezie name? Would make for a good Parody Pony Sue at least.
Now, as a guy, I have to choose a Gary Stu name. How about... Sanguis Valentulus. That's Latin for "Carnage McStrongguy." Roughly translated.
I think it might've been covered in this MST3K vid, but I'm not sure.
Do I get extra points if my real name is Arianna?
(The first time I told hS, he said: That's a Sue name. And Reader, I still married him)
I have nothing against the name Arianna, but I see it used so many times for Sues it's not even funny anymore.
(If you don't mind me asking, did you and hS meet through the PPC?)
I've lost track of how many fictional Ariannas are princesses with unicorns.
We did meet through the PPC. Take a moment to imagine how we stumble when normal people ask how we met . . .
Wait a sec. How did you two meet, anyway? I'm guessing that in a Board full of (mainly) Americans, two Brits would stick out, but now I'm curious. If you don't mind telling, how did you end up together?
I'm actually American, I moved to the UK after we got married.
As for how we got together . . . this was before Facebook was even launched, let alone open to the public. It was all the way back in the dark age where people used chat programmes (I think we started on MSN Messenger, LOL forever). After we'd had a few conversations on the Board, I added hS to my contacts. And we talked A LOT. At one point I had literally thousands and thousands and thousands of pages in my transcripts file.
We didn't actually meet until a few years later; he visited me in the US after I turned eighteen. And then we got married a few months after that. And then a few months after that I made the leap over the pond. And now here we are -- old, married and boring. Let this stand as a warning to all. ;)
Iximaz, my parents did flip out. It's entirely possible that they're still gently rotating through the air, in fact. Bless them.
(Uh, I should probably put a responsible-adult disclaimer for any teenagers reading: always be careful who you meet from the internet, do your best to weed out any axe-murderering truck drivers, take your parents along. Not everyone is who they claim to be, and even if they're telling the truth they might not be safe people. There has definitely been at least one predator on the PPC. He's not been a PPCer for years, but he did lasting harm to quite a few girls before he left.
There we go, that was my stab at responsible adulthood for the day. Didn't like the taste of that at all)
"So how did you two meet?"
"We met online."
"Oh, like a dating website?"
"No, actually. We're both part of an online community dedicated to killing had fanfiction."
*slowly backs away*
My mom would flip out if that was me. ;)
Or alternately;
Jade Silver Baggins
Evenstar Silver Baggins
Evenstar Silver Krystal.
Ew.
Jackpot.
...but since I'm a dude, I prefer the name "Brad Thunderbiceps".
Jackpot.
...but since I'm a dude, I prefer the name "Brad Thunderbiceps".
...
Oh dear God... This is just... My Goodness...
That brings me to an interesting anecdote, though: there's a girl at my school whose last name is Greenleaf; she's in the Shakespeare Society and, when we were getting to know the Shakers her fun fact was that she was related to Legolas.
Naturally I started going all "GREENLEAF IS JUST A TRANSLATION OF HIS FIRST NAME AND ACTUALLY NOT HIS SURNAME".
Might explain why I didn't get into the society...
*winces* Ouuuuuch.
But no, why stop there? I have middle names! And Sues are famous for having many. Now, let's see...
Jade Aurora Felina Heather Greenleaf. Yup. Totally me. But, hey, why not add in what I get from DawnFire? I've already got Aurora, but not Odette...so that makes me Jade Aurora Felina Heather Odette Greenleaf.
...hold on, let's make that more speshul :D
*~**~Jade Aurora Felina Heather Odette Greenleaf*~*~~
I'd add colors, too, but I can't bring myself to spend the time finding the code and then fussing with it :D
So. From this name...I'm related to Legolas, can turn into a cat (or else am some sort of catgirl--catelleth?), think I'm a swan, and probably have green eyes and wear a lot of heather-colored--y'know what, I probably wear a feminine version of Legolas' movie outfit. Oh, and odds are I either think I'm Sleeping Beauty or some sort of goddess of dawn--
...
...Karen, if you're reading this, I want answers.
I'm also beginning to want to draw my Sue-self. Oh dear.
Also, Brenda Loringham would be Sapphire Harkness. This amuses me quite a bit. Funnily enough, her partner, Charlie Shoe, would be Raven Tyler. I guess I chose good names for them!
Y'know what (can you tell I love these things?), I'm just going to do this for all my female agents. Sounds like fun.
Dawn McKenna...Aurora Way
T'ar...Sapphire, or Sapphire Daphne
The Reader...Artemis
Gurnirel...Hunter
And some kids:
Ruby Angharad Sato...Artemis Krystal Tyler
Seren Keladry Sato...Esmeralda Nyx Tyler
...nope, I prefer their real names.
And, because why not:
Jay Thorntree...Serenity Ringbearer
Acacia Byrd...Krystal Fairheart
Luxury...Ordellya
...anyone for a rewrite of the Original Series (or other stories) with Sue names? :D
~DF
Only if you're having more success than me reconciling Jay and Acacia with the names "Serenity" and "Fairheart," respectively. Also,
*~**~Jade Aurora Felina Heather Odette Greenleaf*~*~~
I'd have done brighter colors, but apparently the Board doesn't take rgb values. :(
Esmeralda Felina Kallista Artemis Glimmer Swiftblade of Rohan.
Me+Rina+Iximaz= all of my what.
*~*~*~Esmeralda Felina Kallista Artemis Glimmer Swiftblade of Rohan~*~*~*
...WAIT. Luxury would be Ordellya?! *vomits* Randa drew a me/Ordellya Dumbledore comic as an April Fool's joke. Needless to say, I was Not Amused.
It seems oddly fitting that Jay's Suername would be Ringbearer. :D
Perhaps if TOS was rewritten as Sue agents, they'd go into stories and kill normal OCs? ...but then they wouldn't have much to do...
I actually sorta like the name Fairheart as a last name. It would be especially ironic on a selfish, stuck-up nobleperson. *ideas*
It's sort of pretty in general, though. Just put something ordinary before it.
And ooh, Iximaz, your birthday's two days before mine!)
-Aila
I (sort of) share my first name - Raven - with My Immortals, and my last name - Swanne - with Bella Swan. Not good.
Full name - Raven Trixie Swanne.
I hate it.
Interesting because it is mine! Well, almost, but if I'm a Sue, then I'm allowed to say that only being sort of right is the same as being totally correct! There's only room for one Esmeralda Glimmer around here.
0_0
I love how most of these last names are actual last names from canons. That's awesome. This is cool! Out of curiosity, can I spell it "Esmyredla?"
I now feel the need to point out that I was joking about that. Just in case it was misleading. Also that I have nothing against any real people who might happen to be named Esmyrelda. (I don't think there is.)
And happy birthday! I see that's coming up.
