"Lily Rabanastre" is the result of mashing together the two given naming conventions for Viera, and then truncating the result due to a combination of character limits, trouble with the censor, and preferring to have her go by "Lily" rather than "Galbana".
Her full name is "Galbana Lily (of) Rabanastre"—Rabanastre being her adopted home after immigrating there from Golmore Jungle with her mother, and Galbana Lily being the name of a Dalmascan flower.
As for my forum name... back when I started playing World of Warcraft, I needed a name for my first character: A Blood Elf Priest. So I looked up the names of doctors and found a woman whose last name was Rosenstrauch. I thought it sounded cool, so it stuck with me. That was nearly a decade ago, though I still like the name enough to keep using it.

Clayers Evermore
Around 2008 my best friend and I were obsessed with playing Halo 2. Eventually we became roommates in a college dorm and needed to get an Xbox so we could play. The person we bought it from off Facebook already had an Xbox Live account named "Clayers" and had bought a 360 and kept the subscription going so we were able to play online for free. We didn't know his login details so we were basically at the mercy of a guy who unknowingly kept that account live. He also kept it going for years so we didn't have to pay for renewal. After my roommate graduated I kept the original Xbox and had met a lot of people online I became friends with and started to be known as "Clayers" so I just ran with it. Eventually the guy who originally made the account stopped paying so I had to finally make an account named "Clayers V2". That's now been my online persona name for many years. Evermore comes from Secret of Evermore on the SNES. Not my favorite game or anything just liked the word when thinking of a last name when they gave us a free name change coming from 1.0.

For my main's name, it was just me wanting to keep a name that starts with V that seemed to go well with Zvahl. In FFXI, Zvahl was the Shadowlord's castle, and I used to farm most of my gil from there, even after they nerfed gil gains from NPCable items dropped by the demons. It's a castle full of demons.
As for my forum name, it's been my yahoo email handle since I was 11 years old. I used it in 2002~2003 for my now defunct Runescape character. In FFXI in late 03/early 04 I shortened it to Vyre. Vyre Zvahl didn't seem right to me, and I couldn't get any of the Midlander models to look acceptably like my FFXI Hume, so I went with reimagining with a name alteration. Though I would later create an alt that nearly overshadowed my main, many times, named Vyre Vahzl, Vahzl being the word for the Teleport Crystal of Xarcabard, where the Shadowlord's Castle Zvahl is located.
In recent years, apparently some popular streaming girl stole a bunch of FFXI names, and I've been approached by fans of hers before, them claiming I must be a big fan too. Nope. Didn't even know she existed until it was brought up.
Also sometime in the last decade, Runescape made some sort of bat demon creature called Vyres and introduced the Vyrewatch. I would sue them if I had any kind of copyright claim to my name, but I don't.
And I've also met some people who think I'm into some black metal band that came out in the late 2000s/2010s called VYRE but I think one of the letters is a rune? I listened to some of their music, it's not for me.

Lineage Razor is an anagram of my real-life first and last names, tailored to be lore-friendly for Hellsguard Rogadyn naming conventions (my original race).
Nothing to do with the Lineage games!

I wanted the name that fits for a wolf/tiger, doubles as a legitimate sounding name when I am greeted by NPCs, but also works as a play on words so it can be taken as a joke when people read it carefully.
