    For my first name I was inspired by the movie cartoon "Flight of Dragons" from the 80s. In it there is a good green dragon called Gorbash. I've always liked the name "Gorbash", but I've also preferred "Korbash", "Gorbash" but with a "K" instead. And Korbash is a name I've used in games and MMOs. Korbash has a dragon tattoo on his face in homage to Gorbash the dragon. I LOVE dragons.

    For his last name, at first, it was Zhan. When I made my character in the closed beta, and at launch, I could not play the job I wanted, Summoner, and the sole casting DPS job available was Black Mage, so I landed in Ul' Dah with no Elezen NPCs in the area. I was completely unaware that, lore wise, all Elezens have French names. So I decided to change the last name to something French, while keeping Korbash as first name. The thing is, French is my mother language, I've read most everything translated in French,; I also studied French Literature and Cinema in College. I decided to use a last name from "Lord of the Rings" by Tolkien. When Frodo leaves the Shire he takes another last name, "Underhill", and in French, "Underhill" is "Soucolline". I think "Soucolline" look and sound so pretty, and it makes a really nice last name.

    I use the name Sille, because from one of my favorite movies there was a really sweet girl named Cecile. I always thought the name was pretty, but I never really liked the way it was spelled, so I changed it to Sille. The names aren't pronounced the same way, Sille is more like "still" without the T but they're still quite similar.

    The last name V'ness doesn't really make sense and it's made up for the most part. (It's 100% made up, what am I saying.) I don't even know why I chose a last name like this if I'm going to be honest, but I've never seen many V last names, and I always liked an "ess" sound, so I made up this name. On the plus side, no one else will have this last name, but on the down side, no one can pronounce it right haha. I've imagined it to be more like a "Vuh-ness" instead of "Vee-ness", but most say it the second way. I don't mind though.
