What's the story behind your character's name?

Is it random? does it have personal meaning? What's your story?

[Niqote]

They wouldn't let me have 'Nique' because apparently in another supported language it's a swear word... in my haste to play I unknowingly called myself Niqote the Miqote... dang it!

Possible name change 2.0 pleases me lol

Long story short: Nique Amrita is a long running OC of mine, but Nique is my IRL nickname too ^^

[radhaz]

Aeka Masaki (ah-eh-ka), the First Princess of Jurai, from the Tenchi Muyo OVA series. Back in the day, I was a member of the Tenchi Muyo mailing list, hosted by Hitoshi Doi.
My Chocobo is named Ryuuoh, after Aeka's tree/space ship. My path companion is an Elzen named Yosho. My retainers are a Roegadyn named Amagasaki, and a Mi'qote named Mihoshi.
When I played PSO, my char was a Hunewearl named Aeka.
Nutty, I know~~

Yeah..nique in French is the equivalent of our F-bomb XD

Mine is a Germanic variant of the name "William"..."Vilhelm", but I removed the second L and just made "Vilhem" out of it.

The last name "Dijkstra" is Dutch, and is a lil homage to my friend out in the Netherlands, whom I met in summer of 2010, after 10yrs of knowing her online. :3 It' pronounced "dike + stra" and means "from the dike" '-'b

[Andreas-Lycaeus]

Outrageously geeky, but I always loved classical Greek mythology, and my own name, Andy, derives from the Greek name Andreas, which means man, or warrior. Lycaeus is a surname of deities such as Apollo [which also happens to be the name of my Chocobo] and Zeus, and has many translations, but it can mean 'of the light' or 'wolf slayer'. Andreas Lycaeus, therefore, at a stretch, can translate to Warrior of Light, plus it rhymes, and it includes my real name, which I think is cool

Aww Niqote don't change your name, I always thought it was really nice every time I'd see you pass by. It's harder to come up with two names that sound good together than it is to come up with just one, and yours do.

Mine is original.

[Warlock]

Warlock Warlord the best high rank a Taru could have in the Federation of Windurst, evoking fear and respect.. inspired on the coolest Taru in FFXI
Robel-Akbel ..aka doomed parallel Vanadiel's Karaha-Baruha

The regular Karaha-Baruha character had same blonde hairstyle too
Chose that to not be seen as a name over my head but more what i am (as in my rank)

EDIT: Adding in my Chocobo name which is Bomber my Taru name from FFXI ,small size Taru BLM...a big name for something so small dropping nukes left and right and getting himself killed XD

[Gramul]

German/Romanian for Iron Gram.
