Why did you pick your name?

VindictiveX - Sanctuary

I chose my name because I'm evil and seek revenge upon those that did me wrong, and because Vindictive fits perfectly for an Assassin. The X is just an added bonus. It could mean that I just like how the X looks at the end of the name or the X could possibly mean X as an ex lover. That will remain a mystery. b:chuckle

Awesome mangas.b:victory

Vedovis - Lost City

Well before I even started this game I had an extensive list of original names I created; Vedovis being one of them. Of course, some time later a friend pm's me ingame to Google my name... much to my disappointment, 'Vejovis' is a Roman god of healing.

Glamoura (Glam-ow-rah) - My gorgeous cleric Originally she was going to be called Glade, however at character creation I clicked the wrong class and so Glade is now my archer. I wanted my cleric to be ethereal and graceful, like Pan Gu intended =D So I chose Glamoura.

-scratches head and thinks about all my alts-

Katnisse - from the epic book series The Hunger Games

Darquesse - from the equally epic book series Skulduggery Pleasant

Vailkirie - My older sisters name is Vail, and I originally wanted Valkyrie but that was taken..

Drayoth, Orosia, Zabrielle, Veltre, Aznaphix and Liredel - All OC's of mine

Yeah...... I have a bunch of alts. b:victory

StormHydra - Sanctuary

INB4 a crapload of unoriginal anime/manga/japanese derived names.

Oh wait

Breitling - Raging Tide

Breitling because I collect fine timepieces, Laphroaig, Aberlour, and Glenfiddich, because I like to drink scotch, and Wickedbrew, because its a moniker I have used in MMOs since 1999.

Samurai_Jack - Dreamweaver

I chose my name becouse Jack is messinger of good who kills Evil that's ingame mobs

Pyrostormz - Raging Tide

i shamelessly stole it from a friend of mine on another game, and now i use it on 2 games b:surrender

Maiira - Sanctuary

hmm my cleric jimmygavazza well. picked it cause its my irl name lol. didnt think it would actually let me.

ET_NY for being an electronic technition from new york. though im not longer either of those things now.

maiira has been a character name ive been using for almost 15 years in various games starting with old school DnD. id developed a fox type character using custom race rules in an old dragon magazine issue and was a martial artist with magic. making a rare fist veno build that could still equip an appropriate magic weapon was one of my biggest goals after alot of aps gear became available in the 1st anniversary sale. but has followed my through 5 dnd campaign settings, and 4 different mmo's.

And then there's my catshop alt, Felgendiw. I bet no-one can figure out where that came from. (hint, he is a wingedelf cleric

I've got you beat there... my winged elf cleric TT mule is named WingyMcElf. Far less original.

Jin_Wang - Lost City

I created characters that can be for a hobby of mine for a PW adventure story

Warrior Huang: He is the son of a great warrior, with leadership qualities. He is a gentle guy.

Wizard Mei: She works as a fashion designer, very charming and beautiful. She is scared of insects.

Priest Lan: She is the granddaughter of the elder of plume city, she is pure with a warm heart. she is always helping people. Although she is not a person that does combat, she talks with Pan Gu to help guide her friends to victory.

Claimed to be archer Chuck (not chuck norris lol): He is always interested in money, but he is a friend of a real archer named Tylor. He always seek for money and business and pranks

assassin Jack (A.K.A Yulk): He is an opportunist, and always looking to get attention. Yet he is a very helpful young tideborn.

Rebirth Seeker Moku: He got the name from Yulk's friend, Tetra because he was in a form of a small tree when she took care of him when he was about to be reborn and he looks as an undead. His past is unknown.

Tiger Umeru: He is a celestial tiger (named after Umaro from final fantasy 6, but with this spelling the name is in Japanese, meaning to bury), of the sages, he is the light that protects the whole perfect world. He is almost always by himself or with his daughter angel, fighting against the toughest wraiths. (i mostly use tiger form on this char)

Fox Xeries: Umeru's mate, but she is most likely a lone wolf. Detecting any wraiths that are missed.

Fledegniw O.o

FoxRunning - Heavens Tear

Rosaries are seen far more often than just at funerals, if you are Catholic, or live in Catholic countries. but i like your name...its really nice.

@Jin_Wang, i do much the same thing...my characters are kind of avatars of stories i make up for myself. when i cant get into squads and quests, its frustrating and boring, and wind up going to an alt that i can still run stories on.

Roseary - Sanctuary wrote: »

Since I made a cleric first I wanted a name that was similar to either healing, life, or death. I also wanted to have the name Rose in it since I like roses.

After a while of thinking(like 2 minutes), I stopped at the word Rosary. It's usually seen around funerals and was easy to manipulate the word Rose into.

JungleForce - Dreamweaver

I like FoxRunning name b:dirty (I luv run in fox form just cuz it looks cool b:chuckle )
My name is JungleForce because venos use wood speels, that it reminds me jungle, and, force, well it sounds cool at least.
(welcome to the jungle [8] b:laugh)

_Mordred_ - Raging Tide

Mordred: Because i was listening to the song Mordred's Lullaby and got it stuck in my head.

Lord_Roan: Because i love the name Roan, and found out it's a lot of fun to be called "lord" x3

Bunnyness: Because i couldn't think of anything else

Anndd ZombieMoose: Because i love zombies and i have a moose pillowpet >.>

Shadowphreak - Lost City

This is a stupid thread.


Trolled by me.

b:fatb

Mayatheia - Heavens Tear

Andromeda was taken so i picked Andromaka for my veno coz thats how my kids used to call Andromeda when making fun of the name. After a while i found out that name exists in the Greek mythology (Andromache/Andromaka)

Mayatheia is a combination of Maya = illusion and theia = divine. I started to search for a name for my mystic like 2 months before the EG update xD

My bm got the name LilSuicide coz it fits to a bm , too bad i got bored of lvling her.

Lylyenn - Raging Tide

Lylyenn -> It's just because I want a good celtic sounding name. I like those names. I make a lot of changes to the name before I had found the right one that was not taken.

On Lothranis, I have Arlliann that is a Thalatan and it's the same story. There is just Mallia that come from a roleplaying game forum close by now.

I have always some difficulties to find names too characters. b:lipcurl

genotypist

Person who studies genotypes.

Xena - Dreamweaver

Cause Xena is kickass b:victory

but forreal...I've been a huge Xena fan for many many years and I love the idea of a strong-willed take no **** from anyone....woman.

Fledegniw O.o

I originally thought of having "winged elf" backwards, but it didn't look that good. Then I just scrambled the letters up and this came out. (I know this answer is coming late but anyways)

Typhyse - Sanctuary

"Typh" from Typhon, greatest of Greek monsters, and Typhoon, a tropical storm.
"yse" because I felt like it and I like using "y"s in place of "e"s and "i"s.

Devinettie - Heavens Tear

Devinettie is one letter off from the French word devinette meaning Riddle..

(In my old game I had a toon that ran around and asked riddles if you got the answer right you got a prize.. but just like a trickster her prizes could be good.. or bad..) Sides what else would you name a Fox?

I messed up when I made my toon and didn't want to wait 7 days for the name so I added the I at the end

Chickaree- Is the North American Red Squirrel
(My old game she was a healer just like here in pwi..) I like the name Just dun call me Chickadee.

Metalpuritan - Sanctuary

I picked my name because I could not create a character without a name, so I had to pick a name, or else not play.

Yuna_Love - Raging Tide

Well I played a lil of FF X-2 and fell in love with Yuna's character so I named it after her and the Love part is a nickname my in game sis calls me b:chuckleb:laugh

BadHabbits - Archosaur

b:embarrass

haku

Veno main - Taiyin
"taiyin" is the old Chinese word for the Moon. In Chinese fortune telling, if the person who's fortune is being told is female, then "taiyin" represents herself; if male, then it represents his significant other.

Barb bank - Rai_Kirah
A not-exactly-demonic type of demon from one of my favourite book series by Carol Berg.

baby Seeker - Shayll
Inspired by Dragon Age character Shale.

babysitter Cleric - YaoXiaZi
It means "medicine box". Originally created to be a bank for my herbs, but now he babysits my seeker. It's also the nickname of a character from a TV series that was quite popular at the time. The character is a self-taught, self-proclaimed village doctor (who is actually a tad more like a con-man), who by the end of the series invents a pill that boosts fertility in humans XD

Assassin - Sinone
"Sin" + "one" Created simply because I wanted to try out the class, never intended to take it very far, never did

Psychic - Psyr
Also created simply to try out the class. Randomly put an "r" after "Psy" and thought it could be read as "Seer", and that it looked good.

You parents named you after the tyrannical Roman Emperor who killed his own mother? O_O Not that I don't like your name or anything, but personally, if I were to name my son after a historical figure I'd choose one who did not kill his parents XD

actually no, i changed to this name myself. i wasnt born with it. (my mom died giving bith to me, my dad died before I was born. Ironic) so keep my parents out of it.
and just becouse someones name is the same as an historical person, doesnt make them the same person.
I like Nero and I will stick to it. b:cute

_Suicide - Dreamweaver

on previous blademasters that i made i died alot trying to save clerics or other classes. Since im a tank bm im usually the one dying all the time so i decided to call myself Suicide and ever since i loved that name b:pleased
