I live to rip off other topics from other servers.

Eragon~ I really regret this name, I chose it because I just finished the book the day before the server came out ;)

Woneo~ and old name I had when I was a wee one, it was randomly generated.

    Well normally I go by Takasha which was the random name EverQuest gave me, but I wanted something different.

    I was hoping to get Kyrin but apparently that and Kiryn are taken. :( So I had to settle for Kaery. :) But I am VERY slowly getting used to it.

    Mine comes from the English language. It refers to the catastrophic ending of a collision. Synonyms are: Collapse, Catastrophe, Destruction, Devistation.. Uhh, Calamity... Can't think of any more.

    I'm going to patiently await Taboo's English lesson, based on his name, now.

    Malilizi = Mallory Elizabeth. It's a nick name my parents gave me when I was a kid. I always tack Mal on the start of any name I use because I hate being called anything other than my real name/a real nick name. No mofos or Tabbys for me!

    Plus it's fun! Malosaurus, Malcatraz, Malligator! The list goes on.

    I'm not really sure why I chose the name, but since the first time I went on the Pendulum vent, I knew I made the right choice. Still to this day I remember the first words that were told to my young ears.

    "Man, Asparagus tastes like ****."

    Asperagus IS nasty. and my alt account is L.uckyr.ose on the harshlands server. My Asian grampa thought it would be customary to name me when i was born(or at least my middle name). So my middle name almost become Shyang Wei (or Lucky Rose in Chinese...or Taiwanese, for the life of me i can't remember). lol but it got changed to Rose. So ever since then i've always stuck with the whole Lucky Rose thing. I'm already Luck.yr.ose on three other servers >_> somehow i find that it's rarely ever taken

    Contrary to popular belief I'm not one of them there African-Americans who likes to say words that sounds the same then put it to a "fresh to def track".


    On Lost City My Name was xIRhyme because Rhyme was taken.

    And i got that because a friend of mine asked if we should try a MMO for the first time. We them became the duo Rhyme and Reason. But he quit shortly but i kept on trucking.

    In my names, I always make some connection to the moon or nature (usually the moon though). I combined Spanish with English on my name. If you know anything about Spanish you know 2 versions of the same word ending with "o" is masculine and "a" is feminine.



    Crescent(moon) + dia = Crescendia

    and I got my boyfriend (Crescendio) to make it the same name and just change it to the "o"

    OK well this one goes back a ways....

    When I first tried a multie player comp game it was Quake 2 I had no idea what to name myself and since i had never played anything evan cose to that kind of game before i decided on Kill_Me.

    We played on a lan in school and my friends kept calling me killmin so by the end of the year that was my name for all the other games we tried.

    well that was 10 years ago and I still use the name so thats it.
