Your In-game Name

How did you come up with it/get it?

Mine came from a RL nickname my buddy gave me. The first time he met me he thought I looked like a Viking. Thus he called me Magnus.

Random word, then i just modified it to sound better. no meaning, altho my nickname derived from it is Romy, makes me sound romantic.

My name on PSO/PSU was Nova when i started ffxi it was taken so I added an X to the end, but have been called Novax(No-vax) instead of Nova x :(

I was aiming for something Final Fantasy related, but wouldn't fall into cliches, much like the countless xxxSephirothxxx or Cloudstrifeomnislashintheface characters we see already.
So I did a little bit of digging and found some obscure yet very likable and unique characters in the series. To which I found Artemicion, the (only) purple moogle and leader of the MogNet delivery service. However, due to a case of vanity, he used up all the mail sorting machine's engine grease to make his fur shiny and soft, thus putting his business to a halt. To which Zidane initiates his quest.
It's been my alias for various accounts ever since.

/hi5 for the AC reference

I'm fairly certain this thread already exists, but I'll answer it again.

About 6ish years ago, I was creating a WoW character and my (slightly weaboo) friends were telling me that my character name should "sound asian". I just kept hitting the random name generator until Damesh came up. I liked it, but it was already taken. So I added the i to create Dameshi which I liked, and it pleased my friends because they felt it sounded asian.

They then quit playing 2 weeks later, so I'm glad I picked a name I actually liked regardless xD

Yes, I know my name was chosen in a very boring fashion, and had 0 meaning to me when created, but I (obviously) still use it to this day, so it has meaning now ^^

'nufsed

Rharmony was supposed to be Righteous Harmony but.... Too many letters, thus Rharmony.

Fav story to tell eva!

Daisy is my 17 yo dog. When I was..I dont know..13 and discovered the wonders of the internet past the aol home screen I decided it was going to be my user name also.

Ive used the name Daisy7 or Daisy or Glddaisy since then.

Then FF11 came out and I assumed the name was going to be taken but I tried it anyway and accidentally fudged up my typing (I use homerow keys unlike some people and my right hand was placed a little farther than it should) and I ended up Typing DAUST into the name select. I said "whoops" and retried Daisy which was taken...CURSES!

so I backspaced and stuck in DAUST again only I thought the T was stupid so I erased it...thus DAUS was born!

pronounced DAWS or DOS...dausage rhymes with sausage so my bro says. 8|

My real name is of roman descent. Aurelius was taken, so I went with this. Nothing fancy.

Mine came from the fact that my friends either called me "Rusty" or "Tiger". Rusty came from when some of us were playing D&D and Vampire many moons ago in college and I wasn't that good at it then, hence the name. Tiger came from the fighting game arcade games cause i either fought like one with the characters I used or was real aggressive with the controls while I was playing them :-P

I just put the two names together when i started playing ffxi ;)

well i was on vent right...

and there was this guy named serj

PS1 game tomba (best game ever!) had those 7 evil swines you had to defeat. At first i only had the demo of the game but totally loved it and always wanted the whole game. Well those 7 evil swines were to reason for my name

My name itself is a creation of my own, but it originated when I was playing Runescape once (Lol) and the name I intended to use for it, Lazarus, was taken. Naturally, I would never resort to a name like Lazarus90210 or anything like that so I spent about 15 minutes trying to think of something new and original to avoid running into similar problems in the future.

I just happened to be listening to One-Winged Angel at the time, and the first line of it, in Latin, reads "Estuans interius, ira vehementi", which roughly translates to "burning inside with violent anger". I just transmuted the word "interius" to "enternius" as a form of artificial archaism, and I also think it looked better as a name. And then there ya go.

Final Fantasy 1 first boss. Garland. "I will knock you all down"

personal/inside joke of my RL lastname, If someone called me a liar i would say its pronounced Leier (lastname) Slanderous is just a better looking name than liar.^^

Taco --> Tac0 --> Tac-zero --> Taxero.

Long story short, drinking beers while eating tacos gives a man strange ideas.

My real name is Joe, my italian grandmother used to call me Josepi when I was a kid. Josseppi was the first variation of the name that was available.

My in-game name is made to match my real-life name. Leif. (Lay-f)

I feel it's a unique name, at least in America it is, and I use that reasoning as an excuse to rename various RPG characters after me. Not even Cloud Strife is safe from the renaming.

Needless to say, it's very frustrating to find out when someone on a different server has my name, and also why I've adopted Ramuh as my one true home, even though it's not where I started.

Self explanatory.

started my first charater, was a male hume named konatsu, but then i got curious about the other nations, so i made a taru whm, and i wanted to make the name similar to taru npcs names, so thats when i thought of
Irohuro

I thought I'd made it up, only to find out it was a math term I'd glanced over during a class.

Contrary to popular opinion, my name did not originate from Spongebob, but rather was a redundant and fabricated word my friends and I in high school made up to annoy each other with.
Perhaps it's a coincidence, but I needed something fitting for a tarutaru, and voila!

Ah, Garland. Brings back memories ;)^^

Well I like the yuzu fruit~ (and I think there was an empty Yuzu juice bottle on my computer desk at the time...) and I tend to say "moo" randomly >.>;

Plus a name with a Y U and Z isn't very common so I thought it was cool >.>b

I live in Michigan. I've actually looked up the house Bruce Campbell grew up at and My Cousin's are friends with the children of some of the women from the first film.

Biggest Bruce Campbell Fan. Ever.

Mine was the name of my DnD character at the time, and at first I tried to model my FFXI character to be like him. Kinda went the other way around.

I unfortunately have had to change my name a couple of times do to server transfers and mergers.

Original was Hiroshima. I wanted to play a BLM and it seemed appropriate.

Moved servers Hiroshima was taken and Heros was in full swing so anything Hiro related had to be out, so I changed to Entropy. When I transferred in I unfortunately found out there had been a previous Entropy on that server who was a douche. >.<

Server Merge and chose Perses. "Titan god of destruction in mythology"

In game name generator, lol.

One of those random internet quiz thingies... What Would Your Superhero Name Be?



I got The Great Blue Spoon. My weakness was corn flakes and I drew my strength from peanut butter. I thought it was kinda cute, especially the pic they had of a blue spoon with sunglasses and this sexy flowing cape, so I kept it and used it.
