How did you choose your name?

This is awesome So many interesting and fun stories and thoughts behind all the names.

Mine is for the sake of the pun

It's great!

In the end I returned to Miqo'te. but decided to play as Keeper of the Moon because their lore is better. Since I love my first name, I saved it, but changed to Naur'a (which means that my character is 1st, oldest, son of Naur) and took last name from lore which sounding I liked the most. That's how Naur'a Moui was born in terms of his name. xD

I really like the evolution of your name.

Makeda is the founding queen of Ethiopa; known also as the 'Queen of Sheba' -

Your name's backround is awesome

I'm Finnish too, TARHA says "Hi!" to ROUTA.
In the Finnish language Miko is a male name, so I can even swap genders with fantasia and not go 100% awkward.
Yaong is Korean for 'meow', this toon was originally a cat girl.
So basically Miko Meow.

As an extra bonus Miko Yaong looks almost like the 15 in a dozen weeaboo names you run into everywhere. I prefer to keep a low profile and not stick out, so that's a good thing, kinda.

And ROUTA says "Hi!" to TARHA I thought you might be a Finnish FC when I saw your FC name on someone once! You've got a cool name as well I understand the low profile part, it really didn't occur to me at all (for some strange reason) when I made my character and the first time someone shouted "Terve!" to me, I was a little confused Silly, I know.

my fc couldnt pronouce my shorter previous name so i chose this one out of spite

I heartily agree with this reasoning

I always feel like sharing information like this about my characters is super personal, but here it goes! I’m a bit of an alt-oholic, so I have more than one character that has a unique name with background to it.

I understand your feelings. I thought about making this post a good while since it is personal stuff, but in the end I thought that nobody has to answer my (possibly intrusive ) questions so I made the post. And I'm glad you chose to answer, all of your names have so interesting backgrounds (yes, I read them all)

Well my cat's name is Kissa so I decided to use that lol

Kotele is just a rough translation of kitty that sort of fits naming conventions of Keepers but not Seekers which I didn't know at the time but it sounded so nice so I stuck with it. Nothing special really but looks good!

Suits well with the Keepers I think Is it just a coincidence that your cat's name is Kissa? Or did you choose it on purpose, since kissa is a cat in Finnish?

Awh, thank you. ^^ If at least one person enjoyed reading about them, then I’m glad I shared! I don’t dislike sharing, but sometimes I just wonder if others will understand things like why I chose the name I did, and/or why they mean so much to me. X3 As I said, I’m a bit of a nerd with names, and could spend forever just thinking up of the perfect name for a character.
