How to Create Your Own Black Desert Family Names
Keep the following tips in mind if you’d like to create your own Black Desert family name:
- Follow Black Desert’s naming rules. You might need to stay within a specific character limit (under 12 characters at the time of writing) or avoid certain special characters. Current restrictions will appear within the game’s operational policy, and the game will alert you if there’s an issue with the name you input.
- Make sure your name isn’t taken. You can use Black Desert’s adventurer search to find existing family names and ensure your idea isn’t already taken. It’s a good idea to have a few backups in mind in case someone else has already used your favorite name.
- Get creative with the name’s spelling. You can alter a name by changing the spelling or adding a few characters if it’s already in use. For example, if “Peerless” gets taken, you can try “ThePeerless,” “P33rless,” or “Pxxrless.”
- Use synonyms and translations. If you strongly like a popular word that’s already in use, such as “Avengers,” you can use synonyms or translations to find a unique family name with similar meaning. Instead of “Avengers,” you could use “Vindication” or the Spanish “Vengadores.”
