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

[Mairuzu]

Because I thought the hurricane season was over

Way way way way way way way back in the day, when i was still in highschool, i was playing Everquest Online Adventures. I knew a troll Shadownight named Razkar. The expansion Frontiers came out and i made an Ogre immediately, an Ogre Warrior, and i named him Bashkar, after my friend Razkar, and the name has stuck with me for over 12 years. And i never have a problem with it being taken. I love Bashkar. Great Tank name. Bashkar Stoneskin is my character.

Well, i was looking for a first name matching with Miqo'te lore, so i was i like: ok its a catgirl, feline? F'lhinna! ( pronounce Felina )
And my last name is just a slightly modified version of my forumer name which is actually a part of my real last name backwards.

I know, i know, im not very creative...

[Babydoll]

Cesil - just a girly way I spell the name Cecil. It is pronounced like "See Sull"

and Rapture is just Selphie's limit break from FF8 XD

Might change my last name though when they let us name change...IDK!

[Tahldon]

My name is a weird version of a name from Gundam Wing, Treize Khushrenada. The name became Trayis. That changed to Trayus. That changed to Trayes.

Interesting that your name came from Gundam Wing. Lol. Similar Story here.

When I was around 10 years old or so, I created a red Tails (Sonic The Hedgehog) look-alike character and named him "Trailblazer" of whom earned the nickname "TB" because Trailblazer is too cumbersome to say in conversation. I drew a lot and "TB" was the focal point of all of my illustrations.

I happened upon a Gamepro magazine once with an illustration of a character from Lunar Silver Star Story in it and I happened to draw it and unlocked the ability to draw Anime, however bad it looked. So, I drew a "human" variation of "TB" and figured that he should actually have a name instead of being a guy named "Trailblazer" or just being a being reduced to initials.

So, at the age of 13, I sat for the entirety of a day (because what else do geeky 13 year olds have to do) and contemplated a name. It came to me in pieces. But the foundation of it all was "I want to keep the nickname 'TB', but I want to make a name for it".

"Tahl" came from my own ignorant misspelling of what I thought was "Tahlgeese" which was actually "Tallgeese" piloted by Zechs Merquise. The second part "-don" I just slapped on the end of it as a filler, but it eventually grew on me and it stuck; thus "Tahldon" was born.

His surname for a long time was "Blake" and so it was "Tahldon Blake" for an extended period of time before I finally narrowed his racial traits down to him being a dark skinned half-elf with light grey eyes and navy blue colored hair who wields Magic. So then I wanted "Blake" to be more "elfish" but still resemble "Blake". It turned into some queer form of Japanese Romanization of it at first in "Buraiku", but eventually turned into "Boyoikoh" (Bo-yo-e-ko).

And so "Tahldon Boyoikoh" ended up being my character's name and "TB" is still his nickname as intended. But the root of it came from Gundam Wing lol. It's a thirteen year old character name I've been using for all games I've played MMOs and RPGs alike.

[Orlandeu]

Orlandeu Dueler

Orlandeu came from a Final Fantasy Tactics character, Count Cidolfus Orlandeu aka Thundergod Cid. His job is a sword saint and basically has every Knight sword skill. Which means he's badass.

Dueler is also from FFT. It came from Reis Dueler. A dragonkin who can naturally transform into a dragon. I chose this last name because my main class is a Dragoon

[Nuinn]

Thats pretty cool. I read your post and then expected your main class to be a Bard, based off of the name selection ^^.

Still awesome name choice though.

Oh I went the healer route (Druids, nature, healing.... you get the idea ), and BRD is my only other job I like playing :3 ARR BRD doesn't feel very very "Bardish" to me, sadly. Unlike minstrel class in LotRO, for example....

Pozz!

[Mazi]

Mazi'to Apkallu

Mazithra was my D&D from forever ago, the 'to means second son for keepers of the moon, and Apkallu because Miqo tribes are usually animals and coincidently I have a green cheek conure (a green bird) and I am quite lazy so bam.
