    All of mine are named with words in the Nahuatl language, which was spoken by the Aztecs. (There are still about a million people who speak it today.) The x is pronounced like sh in English.

    xamani, the veno -- means crushed or shattered

    xochime, the barb -- means flowers. I thought he could use a bit of gender-bending.

    xocoyotzin, the psychic -- means young one or youngest child. He was the last character I made.

    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

    ah~ Sorry, didn't mean any offense, I was just surprised and curious if you gave yourself that name. Having one's mother die in childbirth is still quite far from killing one's mother intentionally for personal gain, so I thought even if that was the reasoning behind it, it was still an odd name to give to a child. Guess I should have waited until the initial surprise wore off and worded it better b:thanks

    My Assassin (__Serpent__) I named him that simply for my fascinations with snakes and their stealth. I am a stealth fanatic so it would only make sense for me to name my sin that.

    My Wizard (__Python__) I named him that again for my love of snakes. I chose Python just because it seemed to have more masculinity rather than "Viper."

    My Barbarian (Crixix ) This was inspired by a gladiator from ancient times named "Crixus." I thought he's one bad dude so I named my Barb but spelled it diffrently just for that touch of originality.

    Kitkate was a nickname from school. My name is Kate. There is a candy bar called kitkats.....yeah. I named my veno it because this was my first character in game. I guess it can also be for kitsune which is fox in Japanese. It's more of the nickname bit though.

    Well I was a mage in the last game I played called MagicEmperor.
    But in this game I made a female wizard so the name's gender had to be fixed to match.

    All my characters are named after roleplaying characters I or one of my friends created.

    It beats a name like "XxXnArUtOxXx" any day.

    Sin - PervalRemedy (101) - Made it that since I had a good friend named HerbalRemedy and I was gonna make fun of him with it, but it kinda stuck and started lvling it to 101 xD

    BM - Inflictia (101) - Just a cheap rip off of the genie :3

    Seeker - Akiana (100) - I really just thought about this name myself.

    Psy - Asukari (92) - Also just thought about this name myself.

    Barb - DoubleUTeeEf (87) - Name already says it, WTF.

    Cleric - Taiza (87) - First character on RT and made it up.

    Archer - CatchMyArrow (85) - Was making an archer and tried this funny name, was surprised it still was available.

    Veno - Ryokari (56) - Just tried to use Asukari's name but just put "Ryo" in front of it instead of "Asu" (I'm so creative)

    Mystic - Eviction (63) - Also surprised no one used this name.. Though, it's not really a good name in my opinion but it's something^^.

    Wizard - Aravyre (74, in delete mode) - Some one I know said that she used that name for a toon on another MMORPG, and I kinda liked it for a wizard.. So I stole it xD

    Abstractive - a play on "abstract" and "attractive" (derp). Nickname also used on swingers dating sites, where it actually paid off.

    Asgardeus...

    Asgard, well, tbh I picked it up somewhere, thinking it sounds awesome.
    But people made me research what it actually means. Apparently Asgard is a castle or a world for gods oO; Some other sources also say it's the world of the humankind.
    Even funnier with the ending I put to it. Deus is latin for god x'D

    So my completely unaware self created a name that could be roughly translated as *god of the humans* b:quiet

    Oh and yes, the Asgard plumpfishes are my relatives of some sort b:chuckle

    I stole this name from a friend, and my veno's name is xinaeco, or oceanix, which was originally gonna be oceania, but looked dumb backwards, spelled backwards.

    Tatuaje means Tattoo so thought it sort of fitted a Veno. No other reason specifically.

    My SIN is PoisonBerry who leads a guild (which she is the only member b:chuckle)called WePokeYou which also seems fitting.

    When I name my toons in MMO's I jus try to find something that is not impossible to type and has a nice ring to it.

    I got done making Critty in the customization menu. I was thinking of a funny name that I'd like.

    <Keep in mind, this is December of '09>

    Was thinking of KitKat for some odd reason...

    Crit....Cat.....

    I got it.

    Because EVERY ******ned online nickname I usually use had been taken, as well as anything I could think of, so I just gave up, in frustration and took my first name and the word Dark and put them together in a bit of a rage, and it accepted it so I started playing it.

    If I had thought I was gonna play to end-game (I just came here to waste a little time... sheesh, look where that got me xP) I would have picked a different nick.
    I post in forums. This one and others. That's why I post.
