How did you choose your name?

My main's name just follows me around now, but originated from my WoW RP writing main (not a fan of in-game RP), who himself didn't exist in the game until Legion.

How I happened upon the name was simple. I was writing up an RP concept for collaborative RP, and I created a character just for it. I knew I wanted the last name to be Stormchaser, but I was stumped on the first name. As I was working on the details, I was watching the Saint Seiya: Legend of the Crimson Youth (which I have seen many a time). One of the antagonists showed up, and introduced himself: Lynx Jaou (or Jaō). I thought about then name and essentially went: "cool, yep, new name. (b'-')b" It only made the whole name passably lore-appropriate for a Night Elf, so as you can see it's not at all lore-appropriate for a Keeper of the Moon, and still not lore-appropriate for a Xaela. Actually, it's not really lore-appropriate for anything in this game. >_>

Still, it was a nice sounding name, and obscure enough that most people wouldn't know where it came from. Now it just stuck, and I bring it to whatever game I play.
