Shikibu! i miss ya . Nice stories so far

[Sanadaiyeve]

Syllable mashing then searching what segments of the 'name' meant and got:

Sanadaiyeve: Beautiful Beloved Life

Paranthia: Ornament of the Divine

Called Sana in game.

She's always frowning at me.

[Gamester]

In games I call myself Gamester since ages, which is a combo of Game and the brand Starter (which I liked very much like almost 20 years ago).

In FFXI it was just Gamester since we had to take two names in FFXIV I wanted to name my Char Gamester Ni (Ni = jp 2) the second incarnation of Gamester in FF online games so to speak, but it had to be at least three characters so I named the Char Gamester Nii.

If Gamester is chosen in forums or anything else I always go Gamester2097 ( because of WipeOut 2097 which is one of my favourite games )

[Fantasy9]

Was writing a book and Geovana was the main female characters name and Fletcher is my last name.

[Linkschildhood]

Links Childhood

In FFXI I wanted to be Link! However someone that was on before the PS2 release happened to be Link for a mule. I am a huge Zelda fan...

So I was going to create an Elvaan to be Link, so when I couldn't cause the dreaded "Name already taken" I switched to a Tarutaru and became "Links Childhood"

He more or less looked like the original Link from Zelda on NES.

That name has carried over to FFXIV, since Link never had a last name, I used "Links Childhood" and now I am a Lalafell!!!

[AmmaUltman]

Name: Amma
Meaning: Godlike
Gender: Female
Origin: Hindi
This was my characters name in WoW when it was a female blood-elf. When I did a change and became male blood-elf, I wanted the same meaning and found....

Name: Ultman
Meaning: Godlike
Gender: Male
Origin: Hindu

Sticking to Paladin, so I named my character Amma Ultman.

My chocobo's name is Magizzle, which was my original mage characters name on WoW, which comes from Snoop Dogging the word "Magic"

[Stahn]

I played FFXI from 2004 until FFXIV went live. On Seraph I named my main Stahn and my alt Dymlos. The names are referenced from 2 characters from a game I played called Tales of Destiny. As soon as FFXIV went live I created both characters with the same name I used in FFXI but I included their last name on FFXIV, Stahn Aileron and Dymlos Timber.

[debola]

Leo Vanhalen. My character name is original, my first name is inspired by someone i met in real life called leo. I always thought the name was cool. My last name means "son of halen" i think. Just wanted to give it a clan feel. I'm hoping to start a free company in 2.0 named "Vanhalen Clan" in Gugnir.

My chocobo's name is Valefor, the bird like aeon of the Final fantasy series nd the first aeon you'll get in Final fantasy X, the best game ever created.

[darios]

My son's name
