Your Character's Name

[CodeCass]

So just for fun:

What influenced your main character's name? Was it something silly? Something you've read in the past? Your favorite anime or Final Fantasy character?

For me, I chose "Deucalion" after the main character from Dean Koontz's "Frankenstein" series. The last name "Promethuson" being the fact that in Greek mythology, Deucalion was the son of Prometheus.

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

[Lemon8or]

It's how my Americans friends pronounce my real name.

[Terius]

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



If you know that game, you win a cookie.

[Kaoru_Nagisa]

I think my main's name is pretty obvious (to most people who watch anime, anyway) where it's from. I just preferred to use Kaoru as the spelling instead of Kaworu, since the online name I go by is Kaori. Kaoru's the version of the name I use for male characters (if I even use my regular online name anyway).

[Xanros]

Neat topic!
I got Xanros from a past character.
Literally, I hit a few keys and put in a vowel here and there and Xanros happened. Tawse comes from some crafting I used to be involved in. I used to make those and a few other things. Google tawse if curious.

[Tiggy]

My friend had a cat named Tiggy whom when held would make the most angry sounds. I named my character after that Kitty in FFXI. In FFXIV it's an homage to my FFXI character.

[NaliaBrown]

I think my main's name is pretty obvious where it's from. I just preferred to use Kaoru as the spelling instead of Kaworu, since the online name I go by is Kaori. Kaoru's the version of the name I use for male characters (if I even use my regular online name anyway).

Not obvious to me, I have no idea where it's from.

My name isn't inspired by anything. Just something I thought of when I was creating the character. Brown was the first last name I thought of that sounded ok with Nalia.

[Failia]

Failia has been something I've been using for a few years now, starting up in Global Agenda. It was just an attempt and making a play on words with the word fail and actually NOT doing that. I normally do Failia for female and Failion for male. My future tank's name is Failion.

As for my last name....it was just something random I thought up. No meaning to it at all really.

[Enkidoh]

My character's first name, Enkidoh, is how Squaresoft's US division translated 'Enkidu', the name of Gilgamesh's lackey in the PS1 version of FFV - I picked the name at random out of an old issue of gaming magazine EGM when I needed an online handle for eBay - it's stuck with me ever since.

As for my character's surname, Roux, that was the surname my bf chose for his character as well, so it seemed logical I give Enki the same surname. :3 I can't remember the reasons he gave me as to his choice though.

EDIT: also it should be noted that when I created my character in 1.0, there was virtually no lore mentioned at all as to the naming conventions of Seekers of the Sun kittygirls, so I just used the same name I used in FFXI for my mithra. :3 If I'd known then what the naming conventions were like, would I have gone for a lore-based name? Probably, but I have come up with a story reason why my character doesn't have a lore-based name. But that's a story for another time...
