Why you chose your name

Post by **dom** » Mon Mar 13, 2006 4:20 pm

I've made alot of characters to test out builds and such to find out what I like, most notably:
- teacup
- teapot
- apricot

Teacup was the name of my character in guild wars, Teacup Vindicator. I liked it because it was embarassing when you'd get owned by someone named teacup.

Eventually people made fun of my name, calling me things like King Teacup, Master of all Teabags and it stuck. It actually suits my personality.

Teapot evolved from teacup and apricot was just a name I used in counterstrike. Again, random name.

AyaChan · Post by **AyaChan** » Mon Mar 13, 2006 4:59 pm

My char's name was going to just be "Aya", named after my baby-girl who recently turned one year old in February. :love:

But...Some wenchy-poo-bastige already has the name (I keeeeell you if I ever find you!), so I went with AyaChan.

Aya is an actual name is several different languages. The main meanings are Arabic - "Miracle" and another is in Japanese - "Colorful Silk".

I wish I was more creative. I just want my character to be so badass that he's an army all by himself.

The 1 at the end is because I screwed up my other character and didn't want to wait 7 freaking days to start over. lol

ChronoShift · Post by **ChronoShift** » Mon Mar 13, 2006 6:14 pm

My characters are ChronoSage, ChronoRogue, & ChronoShift. Already you can see that I try and keep a family name, heh.
- Sage would've been my main character, as the name has been for some rpgs, but being the first one it ended up being the test/experimental char to get myself orientated w/ SRO. Needless to say, the build was poor especially w/ no SP farming.
- Rogue was made after picking up SO many female equipments while playing as Sage. I found it frustrating and made a female char

. It gave me an excuse to try a new build anyway.
- After finding/reading around this awesome forum, I learned about how to make other builds, and so I made a 3rd character, being Shift.

Later on I realized/remembered that ChronoShift was from C&C, that teleporting ability using a machine, the ChronoSphere

. . . oh hey another name i could use . . .

SuicideGrl · Post by **SuicideGrl** » Mon Mar 13, 2006 7:02 pm

i named SuicideGrl because the character i choose is covered in tattoos and body mods, which causes her to resemble a certain group of females which i will definitely NOT link to here, but would feasibly be found if a more grammatically correct verson of her name was googled..... <looks around nervously>

i actually first registered SuicideGirl, but on the Aege server, and then my roommate LadyChi told me that if i wasn't on Xian we could never play together, so i deleted her first incarnation and moved to Xian.

I wish there was a way to rename our characters, but that would make it impossible to recognize anyone.

Ordeith · Post by **Ordeith** » Mon Mar 13, 2006 11:13 pm

It's an obscure reference to Wheel of Time, only used a few times in one of the many books.

Although George R R Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire is much more interesting...

Misaklo · Post by **Misaklo** » Tue Mar 14, 2006 12:16 am

mine was pretty random to i tried spaces and it idn't work so my brain stoped working......... actully i forgot about underscores and just leaving out the spaces ientierly so i started thinking of a chinese type name (i think) any way Misaklo was born. funny thing is i wanted it to sound more like Misakolo/Misakalo lol wierd things happen when you make up names without writing them down.

Nguyen · Post by **Nguyen** » Tue Mar 14, 2006 12:24 am

I had always used the alias GaMeR, for everything then about a year back, alot of friends got tired of the name. It was simple and plain, I liked simple, but I wanted a new name with a twist.

Nguyen is a popular vietnamese last name and over half the country has that as their own last name. After the vietnam war the country basicly changed their name. So I just decided, that I am proud of who I am and where I come from. I decided to use Nguyen. Simple and the name isn't english.

Rabkin · Post by **Rabkin** » Tue Mar 14, 2006 4:05 am

LukFeilung - it's romanised cantonese for 'green flying dragon' such as I have tattooed on my arm - seems right for the Silkroad.

But my all-time favourite was a character I used for playtesting on a NWN PW. That was 'Izzy Dedyet'. So the designer running the testing could shout "Is Izzy Dedyet dead yet?". Yeah, I know it's corny.......

Rabkin - my forum name - is the name I have been using for over 25 years for AD&D. He's a dwarf warrior with a well developed personality, and a long history, who introduces himself to snobs as Sir Rabkin Rabkinson, Baron of the Court of Ravenskyle, Master of the Emerald Hall, Dragonslayer - all of which is a bit too much for a forum handle

Jaquar I came up with about 7 years ago based on the animal Jaguar (SURPRISE!!!! lol).

Emyn is someone I made up for a story I was writting and I thought it sounded very angelic so I keep it around.

Remedy, my halo name, and the name in the sig, is based on a song of the same name by 'Cold'.

Xardas · Post by **Xardas** » Tue Mar 14, 2006 7:51 am

FuglyMonkey · Post by **FuglyMonkey** » Tue Mar 14, 2006 7:56 am

my 1st character was the monkey one and he is certainly Fugly (F*ing Ugly)

my latest character (Pig_Stiker) uses a spear

Down here in Australia Spears are sometimes called Big Pig Stickers

If there is a wild boar (or Razorback) charging you - then you really want something long and sharp to stick in it before it reaches you
