What is the story behind your character's name?

[EusisLandale]

Landale is something I've used for longer than I can remember, usually paired with another Phantasy Star name.
I felt like doing something a little different while still at least maintaining 4 letters Landale. Ultimately settled on Eira as a name meaning mercy felt kind of fitting for a Paladin.
Had me giggling like an idiot when I switched to Dark Knight and you're fairly quickly told that mercy is stupid.

[KaerisKlyne]

Named after Garnet Til Alexandros XVII from FFIX, my favourite game in the series (and one with a lot of meaning for me).

[spf1200]

Took my name form Magic the Gathering. Xantcha was Urza's companion in Plainswalker and Argoth is the name of the island where the Brother's war ended. Not very original but i liked the was it sounded.

[Crushnight]

Jets was an anagram of my initials while down refers to my favorite ff item phoenix down was not too original but my alt i just went dirty minded and went with Jailbait Bunny and yes its a dude who cannot wear that outfit /sadface

[Lexia]

My characters first named based of my niece's name Amalexia so it was just shorted to be Lexia as for last name (Lightress) I don't really remember I think I just picked a name that I thought sounded cool but realized later my characters initials are L.L. and is from Limsa Lominsa (LL) which I kind of chuckle at once in a while.

[Kurando]

Kurando is taken from the character in the JRPG Shadow Hearts. Originally I used Hyuga as the surname so it was a mix from both Kurando and Yuri in the same game, but eventually went with Strife to give it more of a East and West feel. Though anything completely Japanese setting (like Persona) I stick with Hyuga

[Xylas]

I used to always go by Lothian. Ever since I was probably about 13 (16 years ago). I thought I made it up. Turns out it's a place in Scotland.
Anyway, I got sick of having to do alternate versions of the name since it was taken so often. Lothien, Lothiann, Lothienn, etc. I ended up doing Lothiena for female characters. But then that started being taken. Xylas I came up with at random (but it's a type of gum, Xyla... apparently my subconscious picks up on things). I would use that when Lothian was taken. Eventually I just mashed them together in WoW and everything else as Xylaslothian and it stuck. Luckily in this game I can separate it.
I changed to a female Lala as a joke the first time I quit in ARR since I had an extra fantasia. I ended up liking it when I came back... I thought she was cute. Then I got my swimsuit. I felt like a creep. So I decided to stay female since I was into the aesthetic and went with Hyur Highlander. Now I can dress scandalously and not feel gross. I usually play as female in RPGs now.

[Haprimac]

I originally had a male character called Haprimac. I'm a big LotR fan and Meriadoc Brandybuck was one of my favourite characters. I wanted to make a hobbit-like name that would work the same way (Meriadoc -> Merry, Haprimac -> Happy), but when I made another character (a female seawolf roegadyn) in beta, I changed Haprimac to go with the guidelines. It also fits in the sense that the -ilona part of Haprilona is a Finnish girl's name that means "joy".

So if I translate Haprilona Sunnwyn, it'd be "Gatherer of Happiness, daughter of Sun".

[YuzukiHibiya]

Rei = Sailor Mars, Akemi= Homorua Akemi from Puella Magi Madoka Magica, I do love anime
