GET OUT A PIECE OF PAPER AND FIND YOUR REAL STAR WARS NAME

1. Write your birthday in numbers. For example, if your birthday is August 13, 1977, you write 081377. Get rid of the zeroes, which gives you 81377.

2. Add the first and last number together. This gives our example 8 + 7 = 15. Then divide by two, unless the number is 4 or less. 15 happens to be more than 4, so we will divide by 2 and get 15/2 = 7.5.

3. If you get a decimal that is less than 5.5, here’s what you do: If you were born before or in 1977 round up, if you were born after 1977 round down. But if you get a decimal that is 5.5 or more, this means you have a hyphen in your name. Think of the .5 as a hyphen. This number is the number of letters in your first name.

4. Draw dashes to indicate where letters will go. In the example, we got 7.5 as our final number, so there will be 7 letters and a hyphen. If you did not get a decimal, or got a decimal less than 5.5, you do not have to worry about hyphens. Skip to #5. Put your hyphen at the half way point, so you have the same number of letters on each side, like Obi-Wan or Qui-Gon. If your number is odd, this is what you do: If your earthly first name begins with A-L the last part of your hyphenated name has more letters, if your name begins with M-Z, the first part has more letters. Let’s pretend our example’s name is Sam. The first part of their name would have more letters and they would write: 

_ _ _ _-_ _ _.

5. Take the third letter of the name of the first road or street you lived on. Let’s say Sam lives on a road called Hell’s Peak Road. “L” would be the first letter in their first name. They would then write L_ _ _-_ _ _.

6. Now it gets complicated. To avoid getting all consonants we need to take the letters out of a word, starting with a vowel if the first letter you got was a consonant, or vice versa. What you do next is take 3 letters out of the name of the town you were born in, using this system. Let’s say Sam was born in Springfield. We’ll start with the “i” because it’s the first vowel and take the next 3 letters. We get Ling-_ _ _. Let’s pretend now that Sam’s name begins with “A,” which would then make their name Aspr, which doesn’t really work in English. So they would take the first 3 letters that work, starting with a consonant. Their name would be Apri. Now, what if Sam was born in Havre? Their name would be Lavr, which doesn’t really work either. If this happens take away the last consonant and put instead the next vowel. This would make the name Lave. This applies to every time you add letters. When you run out of spaces for letters skip to #10.

7. If you still have spaces left to fill, take the first 3 letters of your first name, starting with a vowel in Sam’s case because we ended with a consonant. But that only leaves 2 letters. If this happens, just use those 2. We get Ling-Am_.

8. Now take the last 3 letters in your last name, starting with a vowel in Sam’s case. Let’s say their name is Jones. So if they had to use 3 letters their name would be Ling-Amone, but since they only had one space left, it will be Ling-Amo.

9. You should have filled all your spaces, but if you didn’t for some reason, add and “i” to the end.

10. You finished your first name, you can bail out now, or start on your last name.

11. Take the day you were born. Sam was born on August, 13, so their number is 13.

12. Add up the digits. 1 + 3 = 4. If you got a number that is two or less, you don’t have a last name, like Yoda or Chewbacca. You are done!

13. The number you get, in Sam’s case 4, is the number of letters in your last name. Write dashes: _ _ _ _.

14. Take the day of your birth, Sam’s number is 13, and take the corresponding letter when 1=a, 2=b, 3=c etc… If your number is over 26, start over. 27=a, 28=b, 29=c, 30=d, 31=e. This is the first letter of your last name. Sam got M_ _ _.

15. Take the first three letters of the town where you went to elementary school, starting with a vowel in Sam’s case because their name begins with a consonant. (If you went to more than one elementary school, use the first one) Let’s say Sam went to school in Arlington. Their last name would be completed: Marl.

16. Let’s say Sam wasn’t fortunate enough to only have a 4-letter last name. What if they had the maximum of 11. We would be at Marl_ _ _ _ _ _ _. Next they would take the first three letters of their mother’s maiden name starting with a vowel. So if their mother’s maiden name was Smith, their last name would be Marlith_ _ _ _.

17. Still has 4 letters. They would then take the first 3 letters in their grandmother’s (mother’s side) maiden name starting again with the first vowel. If their grandmother’s maiden name was Williams, they would get Marlithill_.

18. The last space can be filled with the first vowel in their father’s first name. If Sam’s father’s name is Robert, Sam’s last name would end up being Marlithillo. If they had ended with a vowel, they should take the first consonant in their father’s first name, which would be “r.”

19. If you have any spaces left, fill them with o’s.

Sam’s name is Ling-Amo Marl.

Of course, if you feel that your name is stupid, you can make slight changes to make it sound better (I do this a lot).

if you don’t feel like going through the steps you can message/ask me the information and i can figure out your name for you

put your name in the tags!
