Character Name [How Did You Come Up With It?]

[Firefly]

All of my game characters (any game with create-a-character I play) are based off my writing. This is the only MMO that lets me get their full names without trying to come up with some original one-word name (that I know of).

[Kantide]

My character name is based on Momo from Breath of Fire III or Xenosaga (take your pick) and is also a derivative of my real name, Morgan. Last name is from Mushy Snugglebites of Borderlands 2 Tiny Tina fame. This fine ass womenz can't do without her BADONKADONK!

[teh_nam3less]

As a huge fan of Circa Survive's Album Juturna, I wanted to use that for my character's name. Lacus Juturna was actually a pool built for the water nymph, Juturna. As for my alternate, "Genki Dama", I'll give awesome points to whoever can tell me where that's from.

[Arriverderci]

My character name is based on Momo from Breath of Fire III or Xenosaga (take your pick) and is also a derivative of my real name, Morgan. Last name is from Mushy Snugglebites of Borderlands 2 Tiny Tina fame. This fine ass womenz can't do without her BADONKADONK!

I love you.

Pretty cool how many people have seemingly random names with interesting meanings behind them.

Vinyth I pulled from the name Vin, a character from the Mistborn novels that I really enjoyed. I added the -yth at the end to give it some uniqueness. Arcanis is a mage-ish surname I've used before that seemed to go well enough with the first name. I actually used it on a character before I even knew FF14 was a thing, completely coincidental that I'm playing an Arcanist now.

My chocobo I named Mandarb, as a small nod to my favorite series of novels. I've ran into a couple people who got the reference.

[Talis]

Talis- Talisman with the man whacked off. Thought it sounded neat and mystical, and I was going for a magical Keeper.

Nenmyr- Nen, the mystic energy from Dungeon Fighter Online. Myr, a stylization of various words that mean sea (harkening back to Miqo'te migrations and whatnot)


For chocobo, it's Baldr. That way when my happy sunny companion dies, he's only fulfilling his destiny.

[lilena]

[ErikMynhier]

Erik Myhnier is my real name.

[JagerForrester]

Jager was drawn 9 years ago for D&D. I chose his name due to having German and England blood in me. Jager, German meaning "hunter." And Forrester is English origin with variant forms of "Forest." (forest man, woodsman, forest-dweller, of the forest, etc. etc.). So in translation, Jager is a "hunter of the forest," quite fitting for an adventurer. Being from Gridania and wearing green tied him back to the old days.

[Molly_Millions]

My favorite character from my favorite book.

I know I'm quoting myself. But oddly enough, I just ran across this on Kotaku and it made me smile. The late Dr. Leary's work is how I first heard of Neuromancer.
