Do you regret your name choice?

[AmalahRose]

I love my characters names for the most part. There is one I wish could be different but when I tried to make the character it wouldn't let me have it. I looked on the lodestone to see if it was taken but it wasn't on any server.

I've seen you around Cactuar before and I've never once thought of said male toy.

Have I ever regretted my name? Hell to the no! My name is awesome!

[Eye_Gore]

Seeing your name my first thought was not of a toy. Obviously those who make that reference must have one handy at their side while playing. I could think of a few choice comments for them as to how they know about it, as its not like its advertised in the main stream media. Getting many pop-ups on your PC screen? Wonder which sites you frequent?

As for my name all I can say is:

[Synestr]

Lol Yolanda!

I have no Ragrets either. I have been and will always be Synestr. This is however the first time I have had to pick a last name...which threw me off. Took me like 5 mins to think it over. To go with my personal backstory and all(char wise). Duskwight Elezen that is actually Wildwood by birth but was hidden with the Duskwight due to his regal status. Parents were killed in front of me when I was 5 and our house maid Sherie brought me to her clan, where I taken in, raised and taught the ways of the Duskwight and educated on the history of my clan and family. Hatred and vengeance burned within me with the goal of one day meeting face to face with with the Garlean criminals that perpetrated the act. Through time I was taught the folly of these emotions, and was given a new path. I am a protector, defender of Eorzea. To those that seek to oppress it's people I will strike them down. I will bring them down like a flame to a field, I am the Ashbringer.

LOL, geekspew 9>9

Oddly enough when I made this name I had no Idea it was in reference to a weapon from WOW as I never played wow...From time to time players will bring that up, and I don't know where to go with it lol.

But at any rate, I likes my name!

[LeonBlade]

My name Yuki Shiku is original to this game as my normal handle "Leon Blade" would not make sense on my female Miqo'te, it's also a bit ridiculous. My first name Yuki(雪) is Japanese for snow and my character attributes with ice, plus it's a cute name. Shiku is a mix between Shiro and Kuro (white and black) like a good and evil, it describes my normal (good) blue eye and my evil yellow eye, similar to characters in anime that have one odd eye for various reasons.

I like the name personally, and have no regrets over it. If you look up my name on lodestone, I'm the only person to have it, so I feel like it's a name with meaning and expression while still being fun and easy for people to remember and also unique.

I'm very happy with it.

[Bixby]

The only thing that occasionally bugs me is that "Kai" is a popular name, both first and last. Which is only a problem when someone says "Kai" and could mean either/any of us.

My reason for choosing Kai is better than theirs, though.

"'Enter name? Hehehe, gonna put 'Zoosmell Pooplord'. There's no way that's EVER gonna stop being hilarious!"

"Why won't SE get off their duffs and give us Namingway Cards already! Gawd."

I don't regret my name; it's a mostly-lore-friendly Hellsguard name (I say mostly, because apparently most Hellsguard ladies choose a plant or flower for their second name - but not all) that I made from an anagram of the letters in my real life name. I have no plans to change my race, but if I did it'd be nice to have the option to change my name to something more lore-friendly for that race.

[Ehayte]

I hate my name. It was meant to read "Eight Fates," which is just supposed to be casually ironic (in that fate implies there is only one outcome, but if I have 8 of them....mind blown! I know, I'm a loser).

Instead, people read it as: "I hate FATEs," which I don't. I don't really have a strong opinion on them one way or the other, and I made this character at launch without knowing that FATEs were a thing. I would change it in a second, and I have like 6 other names I'd like to change it to.

I don't regret my name in the slightest. I made it up 15 years ago and I've been using it in all games that give me the option to input a name of my choosing.
