I started the game as a Hellsguard Roegadyn. As it happens, Hellsguard generally use pseudonyms crafted from common-language words, which fit well with my practice (dating back to FFXI) of naming myself using an anagram of my real-life name. Hence, I wound up with Lineage Razor, slightly atypical for a female Hellsguard (no plant imagery) but acceptable.

When I changed to a Xaela Au Ra, I wanted to change to a lore-appropriate name, as well. Unfortunately, none of the Xaela tribe names could be formed using the letters from my real-life name. Not even if I threw my middle name into the mix! So, with some regrets, I decided to stick with my original Hellsguard name after the change.
