What's the story behind your name?

[SpanishInkwehsitor]

[Mostly_Raxus]

[HeyMcFly]

back when Overwatch was really big I played Tracer often enough I was called Ms. McFly
I also like the Back to the Future

My ingame name is lore associated towards Seeker of the Sun
Lore/ canon race based names are the best names

[KitKatnip]

Forum Name: The name of the first character I made in FF14. Yes, she's a "cat girl".

Current playing character: Named after a couple of characters in an old book I read. I thought the names were interesting so I used them in character creation.

[LuciaMirain]

I wanted something mythical, a goddess, so Erzulie was exotic enough and I also liked "Erzulie Fréda Dahomey, the Rada aspect of Erzulie, is the Haitian African spirit of love, beauty, jewelry, dancing, luxury, and flowers." And One is my husbands last name ingame. Changed it when we got married.

[Dragonblanco]

Umm, this one originated from when I played other games. At one point I did Dragonverde, Dragonnegro, Dragonblanco, etc. Basically different colored dragons. Primarily because I like dragons but it also kind of made it easy for my friends or guild to identify me. Also because my very first character name, Darkwizard, wasn't available and I had to think outside the box. Sadly, that was when playing WoW and they flagged Dragonnegro as supposedly being racist, as it said "negro." They didn't care that all other characters were Spanish and all or that it was a legitimate and harmless term. So I was forced to rename it and generally got away from the Dragon names.

Here we are years later and most of my character names I've used were just single words. Thus in a game here that REQUIRES you to have 2 names, I just kind of figured I'd do Dragon name again. As to why "White Dragon" or Dragon Blanco," it just seemed to mesh better in origins. If you spend time looking at what white dragons symbolize, you'll see it's often death and rebirth. As for the color white, it's often holiness or purity. Then dragons for their wisdom, strength, and knowledge. For me as a healer, it seemed to kind of fit what I'm doing overall but vague enough that it could also apply to other roles.

To copy words from a page, here's what I mean about how symbolism can fit into the roles.

"White dragons can be split into two symbolic groups: lunar-white and solar-white.

Solar-white dragons are imbued with the power the sun, a symbol of holiness and purity. A solar-white dragon is associated with a sun god or a powerful god of creation.

A lunar-white dragon symbolizes death and rebirth. It embodies a dangerous and ferocious supernatural power, likely associated with a moon god or a mother goddess.

In China, a white dragon is an omen of death, a warning...."

[Kahnom]

No story, really.
Its just came up.

[Vatom]

Vatom Basilisk is my characters name and I like to write fictions and other stories so yeah I though hard on a unique name and reason to why.

Vatom the name came from fusing Vladimir and bottom, if your wondering why bottom its was a simple word to symbolize has fall as a former noble.

Basilisk was a solid name that I had thought of that would sound very noble and have a cool interpretation that people could ask about.

I would explain his whole back story cause that would be too much but that was how I came up with his name and I haven't found anyone with that name yet on any server... so I think its unique enough.

[Illmaeran]

When I picked Elezen I made up a name that looked and sounded Elvish to me. Little did I know at the time Elezen had French-inspired naming conventions, oops! Now I'm too attached to the character and name to change anything about it.

[Kaliesto]

I wanted to be a Lancer when I first started, so I chose Adrian in Ancient Latin which means Dark and Gungnir which means Swaying One in Old Norse.

Adrian can be found in Scandinavian speaking countries and Germany too, and I think it still roughly means the same thing.

Dark Swaying One to emphasize my spear abilities (Its a minor RP thing).

I slightly regret the first name because I think I could have done better, but I can't change it because everyone knows me by that name now.
