How did you choose your name?

[manamoppet]

My name was kind of a combination of the in-game season of the year, Astral (sort of like Summer and June/Julia* are names we use irl), and Thalia was meant to be a variation of the patron Thaliak, one of The Twelve.

Later, some people have thought it was because of the Astrologian job, even though I made and named my character long before it was announced. Other times people have commented about a card named Thalia from Magic the Gathering, but honestly I didn't know about that card before they mentioned it (I play a bit of casual mtg sometimes with friends now after that).

* Would be Juli (month) -> Julie (name) in Norwegian, my native tongue (I've only met a handful of Scandinavians in-game)
