Your Character's Name

[RDM_Sonja]

My character's first name is simply one that I like and find to be a beautiful name. The surname however.... is a tribute to this man:

Anyone from FFXI who played as a Red Mage understands the significance.

[MoraClaret]

IRL I have a very blunt sounding name which I've grown to dislike.

I've always been fond of the name 'Mora' since it's short and pleasant sounding and easy to remember. (It also has some interesting sources, such as night creatures from Slavic folklore that sneak into your bedroom at night and strangle you in your sleep. Muahaha)

Claret is a red Bordeaux wine which I thought fit my character's hair color and personality.

[Dresden]

Was male to start with, which is why I altered it.



If you know that game, you win a cookie.

That game is the reason I still have my Sega Saturn and it is easily in my top 5 all-time favorite games.

As for my character name, the first name has no real signifigance and the last name is from the Dresden Files book series. I figured it fit since the main character of the books is a thaumaturge and that is the class I started with.

Really have enjoyed reading everyone's responses!

[Saziel]

Varenian was just a name I made up for my Dark Elf Assassin in EverQuest II. Xemura is something I randomly came up with for XIV. Boring answer, sorry.

[Najara]

The Xena franchise. <3

[Zwipe]

When I started playing WoW in 2008, I used a bunch of filler names to try out which class I liked best. Zwipe was what I named my rogue after the Transformer Sideswipe. Zwipe became my main and I've brought the name along with me ever since.

Well then why do some still have zero Likes, mister??

So what about the rest of you? What's the meaning/history of your character's name?

The Ballad of Lost C'Mell by Cordwainer Smith is about a genetically engineered cat-girl. When I started playing a Miqo'te, it seemed appropriate.
