[Laurelinarien]

I always name my LIs, even if their fate is to be destroyed, but I've far too many to list.

[Bellhill]

My brawler LI: Handuril

[Elfrich]

No; I don't name them because I don't have any yet!

[elenbril]

yes , some name that sounds interesting and fitting for weapon

[Schaildon]

yes : Telumendil !

[SalixArbuscula]

My first character picked a lot of botanical names, and those are some of my favorites: Laurel or Wreath for her guardian belts, and Foxglove, Heather, or Twig for her swords, Ivy for the bridle.

My cappy tried to do yells, but there aren't that many cool ones since Allons-y! wasn't allowed, and I ended up with a lot named 'Chaaaarge' (no exclamation points allowed also kind of killed that idea). So, being on Ithil during its last month when forging her greatsword, she ended up with 'Waning Crescent'. Now on Anor, which is now precisely as empty but with a less-cool name, her sword in the new system (provided I can figure it out) will probably be called something like 'Setting Sun'. 'Twilit Edge'? 'Darkling Dancer'? 'Harbinger of the Long Night?' We'll see.

[Drakeblue]

My hunters LI was named Kittenguard.

[auximenes]

Do you name your Legendary Items and what do you call them?

With any long-term LI's I give them some kind of name which goes along with the vision for my character.

[bto]

yes - usually random made up names (e.g., "Rinthagas")

[Devolved]

My main is a Hunter.

His axe is his "Right Hand".

His bow is his "Folly"

I do not name the fodder he levels for mats.

[Drahxor]

Never, my main is lvl 75. i'm always switching to new ones

[Adric_the_Red]

No. They're like a dog with no legs. Doesn't matter what you call 'em, they won't come.

[Mudguard]

No...

[Blackgoat769]

I try to go for lore-based names. I sometimes look up words in Quenya especially if I'm playing a high elf.

[Rucagorn]

Arnoh, aruvarb, edadlael among others... Its virtues like honour and so in portuguese backwards )

[ninety3rd]

I think I'll call it Pookie.

[Galadi]

Yes, I usually name my characters' LIs. The names depend on the character - I have one that uses forbidden Quenya language, another (a Gondorian) who names his LIs from Sindarin and my hobbit... Well, she gives her LIs flower names

Most the legendaries of my alts have names that are simply a translation of that item or weapon kind to my language. My favorite toons that are all tactical, their legendaries have special names that reveals the force of nature of that legendary kind.

[Tuilerie]

Of course. Either a name in Quenya or Sindarin depending on the character's background.

[HarrisonLewis21]

Nope.

[PieRat]

Yup, 1,2 and 3.

[Adinah5766]

I don't usually name them as I have quite a few alts and therefore a very large number of items you can name. I love to name my +5 Lebathron fishing poles "Most Fortuitous Pole" or occasionally a less creative name like "Lucky Fishing Pole." (I vary the names sometimes and sometimes only slightly and I repeat good names). Love to name Axes that we be wielded by a dwarf much the same: "Most Fortuitous Axe." Makes little sense but have you met a dwarf that always make sense? (or anyone else of any other race for that matter, LoL). So other names are "Valorious Blade of the BattleSage" for a Mini or for a LM. "The Equivocator" for a blade of any melee weapon for a heavy figher: My champ mainly--must be a two-hander though really. But I also turn off naming as I am getting older and can't remember good name potentials and forget them if I don't do them immediately. It is just easier on my mind not to have to do it, so I mostly keep it unchecked and only check it if I feel up to it. Ugh! Leave it simple and easy. I am retired! (but when I feel up to it, I do it well and I have fun).

[Wilibrad]

I named my primary LI.
For my guardian it's "Belt with thousand pocket" and "Bandobras spare club".

[Demrandir]

Yes, I name my Legendary Items, especially bows. I usually call them Cuberion or Quingavarno.
