I was just wondering...
Where did everybody conjour up their 'nicknames' from?

Mine ish YourPhan [I'm really dissappointed with the fact that it has to all be in lowercase].
Its something I picked up about 4 months ago, when my friend and I were trying to find really nifty RP boards, and trying different sites out.
I was blank when comming up with a name, because I was just plain-old tired of using weird writing, and numbers, and l33t, so...

Your is from how I sign all my letters 'irl' as "Sincerely YOURS"
And Phan =POTOfan= Phantom of the Opera FAN...We're called Phans
That was the original idea anyways.
Now, for the last few months I've been known on every site I've joined as Phan and quite like it.

I've seen some names that I like. One consisting of 'David Bowie' or something along the lines of that, and that's just friggin' sweet cause david bowie is a super-shmexiful 70ishyearold singer. Ahahaha...No...yes...yum. Ok.
Also, one consisting of "Rastlin" which reminds me of "Raistlin" which is my ABSOLUTELY ALL-TIME FAVORITE fictional/fantasy character. Evil mages = super shmexiful as well.

Anywho.
Do discuss.
or not.
Too wordy?
Too bad.

    Mine doesn't have nearly as cool of an origin. I wanted something different from what I usually used for games, and I wanted something that included Ruth. Added the "iaz" part for kicks

    My name Koe is short for something, but i dont really wanna say what. However i did discover that it means voice in Japanese. Besides i like how it sounds Ko-ei (Ko-ay) not Ko Ko-ei.
    I'm not mean I'm just being honest.

    I'm not insensitive, I just don't give a S.H.I.T!

    enzeru is the actual name, it is Japanese for angel, but it was taken. I conjured it and a last name for a manga my friends and I dropped for lack of time. I shortened it to enzi because that's what people on mmos usually end up calling me. XD

    My god, Madame Lina is here too now?

    Well, my name comes from this:

    "Xiando was originally a scientific term, coined by psychologist Henry Goddard from a Greek word meaning "foolish" and used to describe a person with a genetically determined mental age between 8 and 12 on the Binet scale. It was also once applied to people with an IQ of 51-70 and was a step up from "imbecile" (IQ of 26-50) and two steps up from "idiot" (IQ of 0-25). The word xiando, along with "****" and "feeble-minded" (among others), was once considered a valid descriptor in the psychological community, though these words have all now passed into common slang use, exclusively in a detrimental context."

    I just used an A at the end.

    "LazyLuna" I'm known to be extremely lazy. "Luna" is Latin for "moon" and I love the nighttime and a beautiful full moon.

    Now for all my little alts. XD

    "Starfrost" I love the night sky and winter. Imagine a starry night sky over a frosty, snow-covered forest. :3

    "SugarViolet", as in those little sugar icing violets you see on wedding cakes sometimes. I love to bake and I love cakes, especially wedding cakes. They remind me of the happy times in life.

    "FemeV" Feme=feminine, or something close to that. "V" for "vengeance". So, "feminine vengence". It felt like a good fist-fighting female BM name.

    "Wendella", I've always found "Wenda" a great witch/sorceress name but don't quite like the sound of it. After playing around with various sounds I mixed it with "Bella" and got what you see here.


    I like making up names, hehe, incase you can't tell. b:victory

    Rianya is actually the name of my character in a story I wrote. She was a cat demon and when she wasn't in her true form she had cat ears and a cat tail. So, I basically recreated her from the story, except in the story she wore jeans and a red tank top. lol.
    Just love me and fear me like the terrifying **** goddess that I am and all will be well.

    My name was a last ditch effort to come up with something close to my actual name that no one else might have. Originally it was Rieano. The Rie is pronounced like Ry making the name Ryano; allot like the classic literary character Cyrano. However, I made a secondary character later on of a different class, and named him Rieango. I preferred the attributes of the character Rieango, and so I used it more.
