    How did you come up with your name?

    'Nauthima' I got it from the Fellow NPC names, I used to play as a different character and my npc's name was Nauthima but I changed characters and so I named my new character the same name as my old characters NPC. My NPC on Nauthima is named Nauthima as well so that turns heads when I got her following me.

    Misspelled "Keiichi" from Ah! My Goddess! But then again that name was taken by another player at the time so it didn't really matter. If I had be given a little more time to think about it, it probbly would of been diffrent. "Kaiichi" just happend to be the first thing to pop in my head when an old friend asked "Name?"

    Minor character from Neil Gaiman's American Gods. I also really like Icelandic mythology, and was going to name myself Loki since he's my favorite god, but the name was already taken. Lowkey kind of fits better though since I'm a taru, and brd was my other main job, aside from bst.

    I must have stared at the character naming screen for 30 or 45 minutes. I couldn't think of anything I liked. So, I did what college students do to break through writer's block - I grabbed a beer and a cigarette and sat outside on the balcony, thinking. And it worked.

    I named my character after "Eek the Cat", which was an old Saturday morning cartoon show from my childhood. Since I play a Mithra, it's kind of clever and simply 'fits' my character. I've received hundreds and hundreds of /tells over the years from people who love the name and enjoyed the little nostalgia bomb of memories of the cartoons they watched as kids.

    It's the best name to have over your head when you're kiting or something goes wrong. lol

    I got Achika as the name of Tenchi's mother based on the first Tenchi Muyo movie. It was a character my ex absolutely loved, so I did it for her.

    Paksenarrion, I got that from a book series titled The Deed of Paksenarrion. Title character, if you couldn't tell. =P I should level her PLD to be character accurate.

    My Taru was originally named Selan, and she was named after a main character from Lufia 2. Sadly, when the servers merged, I had to change her name (The funny part is that one of my starting servers was Quetzalcoatl and I was Selan then...So I was the original Selan of Quetzacoatl. Of course, that name got taken when I was on Midgardsormr.). Her new name is Madrigosa, named after the living form of one of the bosses of Sunwell Plateau from WoW.

    Back in 2005, I was arrogant. Well, I still am, but I was even more arrogant back then.

    I was surprised that my name wasn't taken when I started, but I was a XBOX beta tester then. So I guess I really shouldn't have been surprised at all.

    Even now, I wish I could have changed my name to be less arrogant, because I think that is what has caused part of the intensity of the hatred on myself. I know (now) that people don't like others who sound better than themselves.

    However, my current character name is a more accurate part of myself. I am a nobody, and probably the most notorious nobody in this game. But I can't change the past as much as I can affect the future.

    I spammed names at first, because I spammed names to get on faster (friend's account). I made Kuwabara. Got to like lv 13 on that account and decided I'd want to get the game for myself.

    Another one of my friends gets the game. I make Vegeto. Got that one to lv 14.

    Few months later, I finally get my first computer (lol we is poor!) and I get the game for myself and I make Vegetto, since Vegeto was still active.

    Years later, server transfer, Vegetto is taken, stared at the selection screen for 30 mins, tried 3-4 names and I just got accepted to a new ls, so just wanted to rush on and get started. Tiger Woods was the flavor of the month of the time, so I thought it'd be funny. (Though, I did try Hellokitty first)

    You sure it wasn't your fascination with DBZ that chose your name for you?

    Your second name I mean.
