Your Character's Name

[Kimikryo]

Kimikryo was something I came up with in FFXI. I wanted something that sounded Japanese, but than again also as if mithran when written in arabic letters

鬼魅 Demon　苦　Pain/Fear　竜　Dragon　鬼魅苦竜　Kimik(u)ryo or also 気味 Feeling 苦竜 Feardragon

Torahige 虎髭 Tigerwhiskers Just seemed to fit back than

An alt of mine is named Torakage　（虎陰) Tigershadow

Sheesh how bored was I back than

took me longer to chose the name than make the character during 1.0 .. and that took me like really long.

[Kimikryo]

Clara Lux is Latin for 'clear light'. I thought it was a fitting name for a paladin which is my main job.

My Female Roe's name is Lux Claricem, aspiring Paladin(GLD3).

Glad there are more people that play with latin for their Paladin!

[Lalivia]

I normally go by Arbaal, but I played DCUO and made a fire chick with a lava body, and always liked the name Olivia. So I came up with Lavalivia. It didnt fit the ff14 theme, so I removed the "va", and came up with Lalivia. Loved the name ever since.

[NinjaTaru72]

Mine main is Reeses. I was sitting around thinking of a name, and as I was eating my Halloween reeses cup it hit me.

Mine was inspired by an anime (yes I know... more anime :P), I don't remember the name of it but there was a character named L-Elf, but when they pronounced it it sounded like "Erel", then I had to think in a last name, one day playing Dissidia 012, Cosmos was talking to some one who said he was a "Lufenian" so I decided to use that as my last name. Then the game lore stated that for Lalas, my name and last must finish in the same syllable, so I added "ian" to my name but I didn't like how it sounded, so I added an "F" to my name and a " D' " to my last name. All that was way before Beta stage 3

[Sagittarian]

Mine was inspired by an anime (yes I know... more anime :P), I don't remember the name of it but there was a character named L-Elf, but when they pronounced it it sounded like "Erel")

Valvrave The Liberator .. which reminds me I need to finish season 2...

[Aeliott]

I always struggled to settle on aliases, especially in fantasy games where it feels like you really want to have something unique.
Around the time of Skyrim's release I decided it was about time I put some serious thought into a name to call my own. After going through a few fantasy-ish sounding corruptions of existing names, I settled on Aeliott (from Elliot). And no it's not my real name :P

FFXIV is the first occasion where I've had to add a surname. I settled on it pretty quickly though, as it felt appropriate in a lot of ways.

I recalled the musical term Cadenza after using a soundfont by the same name for a MIDI. My heart was already set on maining Monk - and given its fast paced and intricate style as well as my love of music, I didn't take much time to consider other options. The Italian origin also makes it sound very European and FFVI-like (Figaro, Gabiani, Kefka Palazzo etc) which I liked very much.

[HakuroDK]

Honestly? I have no idea. I just know that the structure of lore-friendly names for Hellsguard Roegadyn are usually two english words: An adjective first name and a noun second name. I guess "Burning Passion" just popped into my head and it just kinda stuck.

[Menfist]

I figured mine sounded quite catchy when creating my character. Then I later had a second thought and realised "Menfist Valentino" sounded like an Italian porn star. At least it makes me unique in every way.

[Kat_Manx]

My character Kat Manx is named after a character from the television series Power Rangers: SPD. ^.^;
