Öhm, apart from beeing a "sissy Name" as you say it. ;)
It depends on how you look at it.
It contains "Legolas" and "Lego-Blocks" *shrug*
Its not as stupid as Beershake, or Mastakilla...
So do it :D

Lego my Eggo? :D It's not a bad name - I reserve that label for name derived from body functions/curse words et al.


But then, I also think its.... Pretty!! ...and cute.

It's pronounceable, it's not a swear word and it prompts one to ask the story behind it.
What's so bad about it?

The name is refreshingly original and you state there is a story behind it. That to me is a good name :)

It smacks of childishness. Lego = kids toy. Kids toy + kid affix = childish

I like it.

And as previously stated, it's so much better than some of the names that go around AND it has a history. A good name, man.

Le-go would be a great Zorai name. That is if you could create a Zorai name with a hyphen.

Okay, he´s right abit that.
It´s a bt against the Grain of SoR.
Too modern I would say.

Think of something differnt with more Fantasyflair in it. :)

I think Le-Gokid does sound rather Zorai...Or maybe Le-Gokyd or Le-Gokidd

At any rate welcome to our world!!!

The name seems fine to me, in game or out. If I hadn’t had my attention called to it, and I saw you in-world, I’d have thought of it as an original name probably pronounced “LEH-goh-ked” or some such, rather than “Lego Kid”…
