What's the story behind your character's name?

I'm loving reading all of these posts ^_^

My account name is Pebe, as this was the name of my Final Fantasy 11 character. It actually came from the auto name feature and I took a liking to it. Why? I don't know, I was 12 at the time.

My FFXIV character is named Aeternus Nihilim. Aeternus is Latin for eternal and Nihilim is Latin for nothingness. This name was inspired by Xemnas' speech at the end of KH2. "If light and darkness are eternal, than nothingness too is eternal." (Yes i am a nerd >.>) All my friends think this name emo, so it may change for 2.0, although I'm kind of partial to Aeternus. Will probably just change the last name.

I guess we are doing chocobo names too, soooooo:

My chocobo is named photon, which is a quantum of light. Basically I wanted to name my chocobo after the speed of light and photon sounded catchy >.>.

I hope you'll choose a name because you like it rather than because of others' reactions to it. Names we choose for ourselves can be our truest representations of what we love or want or respect. I think that's really awesome and in no way should it ever be based on what another wants from you... Your name is about you, more so even than your birth name which you had no control over. I really hope that everyone can love their own name, the name that they came up with to express themselves as.

Being "a nerd" isn't anything to be ashamed of either, it just means you have loves and interests in the world around you. What's wrong with revelling in the miracles (scientific or otherwise) of the universe? I'd say nothing at all is wrong with that!
