Character Name

I've always been interested as to how people get their ingame names.

Mine is a combination of my bf's and my name.

So, where did you get your name from?

Ninian's a Dancer from Fire Emblem. So yeah, I'm not creative.

I was deciding a name while watching "Kungfuhustle", hence my name. Shuffle is my mule.

Hit, It's what monks do ^.^

Not like Im any better...

Mines a combination of Rini from sailor moon (I thought I was spelling it different..... I thought her name was spelled "Reene" so I thought I'd be original and spell it "Rini"..... /fail) and my "last name" (Elenika) is a two letter swap from the character Lilka Eleniak from Wild Arms 2.

I made this name when I was very, very, very little and used it as my online name since mom made me not use my real name, or "foxy girl" (seriously, I was 10, what did you expect..).....

and the name kinda stuck with me :/
...........

lol.

Man I think I win the failboat name game.

A friend told me to name my character Haseyo.
Thus I was born and died Haseyo.

I had the beginnings of a zombie story in the works around the same time that XI was first released in the states. The title involved the word 'obsidian', and I happened to like it enough to swap a Y in there to make the name a little less objective.

Greek philosopher. It's believed he jumped into Mount Etna, thinking it would make him a god. Crazy ***, lol...

I originally encountered the name while reading a trilogy of books by an author named Christopher Hinz.

I am a Scoprio so I just the Da and then the Scorp <.<

My family nick name is brodie and my favorite star wars character is obi-wan kenobi so hence brodiewan

"Ludog" was a name forced on to me...alot of girls and such called me "Ludoggy" so...here I am.

I was trying to be fancy and use Latin to mean something terribly emo 'cause I was a little nerd back then who was into crappy music and thought it was cool and ended up accidentally naming myself the same thing as a Harry Potter spell because I didn't understand how to match genders in Latin -.-.

My nickname since I was about ~10 yrs old has been Fro.

When Starcraft first released a few friends of mine and myself started a clan and adopted all our names with some sort of "eus" ending.

Troy = Trotheus
Fro = Frobeus
Lucas = Lucieus
Etc.

Used Frobeus for almost every game since then.

I kind of feel sorry that I changed it to Rafik, which is my real name in Russian, when I moved back to Seraph ; ;

I always thought it was a Harry potter reference... this problem could be compounded especially if you're not a fan of the books/movies. Can a GM change your name?

Mine is from the series of books Dragonlance, but i've put a "s" at the end of Raistlin. Raistlin is a mage is the books.

I liked Harry Potter well enough that when the book came out a few months later I was like "Meh, s'all good." I did try and get it changed though because everyone would ask about Potter but they wouldn't let me.

But hey, JK Rowling sucked at Latin too :D

Mine's the last name of the poet that wrote the Divine Comedy, Dante Alighieri.

My name is from a heroine in a series of novels I'd planned on writing after I graduated from High School. Vylandra was just a random named I came up with when brainstorming for what I'd call her.

I misread a Magic: The Gathering card way back when I opened my first pack of cards, and Wyluli Wolves was staring at me. Been using Wyuli ever since then.

And no, if you tap me I don't give a creature +1/+1.

Guess >.>;

Ewww The Arabian Nights card expansion was so lamee wyuli lol.


Echion is Greek for "Son of the Viper"

I suck at making up names so I just took letters from Aki Maeda's ( a really cute Japanese actress) name. AKimaEDA.

When i started FFXI i had no idea what to make as a character name. I was also fairly cautious about what i chose because when i was setting up Xbox Live late at night i decided to go go random and see what popped up.

My step dad walked in when the name "Stinkybrush" came up for Xbox Live and we laughed and said, oh what the hell. I then logged into Halo 2 and found out that was my name for every single game and everyone called me "StinkyBush" haha

So i was hitting the random button looking to see what i could come up with, and i came across something like Tochadito or something similar, and i just changed it to my version. :)

Stupid but it works out, and i like it.

Anagram of Nervous/tribute to dan severn

If you heard me on vent before a mission, you'd see why as far as the nervous bit goes XD

Daisy is my 16-years-old dogs name and the name I've used to sign up for stuff online since forever (well variations of it) but naturally thats a name that was already taken as I assumed it would be.


While trying to come up with a variation that didnt sound stupid my right hands fingers were accidentally one key too far over. So instead of Daisy I typed Daust...I thought that name worked quite well, I just didnt like the T so I deleted it :3

So Daus was born! and I pronounce it "Daws" like in "Dawson's Creek" or "DOS". Though I've heard "Day-us" and "Douse rhymes with mouse", its funny cause my brother says "Dausage sounds like sausage".....8|

Its kinda interesting when people like the way they pronounce it better LOL

I actually went by the name Daisy still for a couple years..the few remaining members of my first kujatan social still call me Daisy. It startles me a bit to hear it nowadays from FF11 players..its how I can keep my internets groups separated. I know what fandom you're from from what you call me.

PS my mules name is luvitzdadaisy which is something Id tell my dog...lol...I use it as my little slogan thing on my art pages and on some forums.

"Ewww The Arabian Nights card expansion was so lamee wyuli lol."

lol yes I know, but what fun is M:TG when you can't make up theme decks that are horrendously off balance (I'm looking at you Legendary Creature onry deck).

Plus, a wolf-only deck was fun to play with, even if it wasn't practical.

Bradt, Angrydome ftw!

umm my name came from i was making a taru Black mage so~ he was going to be a Magic Junkie~

i have a mule/2nd char named Djdiddles which comes from a dane cook joke

is ur Bf's name Aaron? :o

When I was choosing for a Char name I tried Samael but it was taken, so Instead of going Sammael (I don't like the additional M) I went Amael, and I pretty much liked it. My mule Juraviel is taken from the Demon Wars saga. Theres an elf race called Touel'alfar which in my mind resembled a lot of Tarutaru. Belli'mar Juraviel was one of the secondary characters.
