What's the story behind your name?

[Coletergeist]

I hate you can't edit on mobile...

As for my username.
Coletergeist because my name and poletergeist. I leave cabinets open in the kitchen so my family gave me that nickname and I liked it.

[Tint]

I am a big fan of Anne Shirley, but I don't like to directly copy the name and character. I like the name Robin, so I created a redheaded Lalafell with the name Robin Shirley back in the closed beta.

However, between closed and open beta I have learned about the lore names and since I was interested in RP back then I decided that I wanted such a name. But I knew I would have to like the name for years to come, so I had to build such a name properly.

So I started to go through all the syllables you could build with two letters. From Aa, Ba, Ca, Da... all the way to Xu, Yu and Zu and I have written down all the syllables wich sounded nice for my taste.

In the next step I was combining all the syllables I have written down to build different Lalafell names with them and after a lot of back and forth I finally settled for Karuru Karu. And I still like the name today.

(But please note that I am german and that the name sounds different with the english pronunciation)

[Jin-]

2010 China themed expansion arrived to Age of Conan mmorpg. I created a new character as the new race was released.

Wanted to keep something short and which starts with the J and somewhat Asian. I went with "Jindae". People kept calling me Jin for short and it stuck as my online name.

Jin- comes from that, the - replaced the dae.

Ral comes from my fav character in the Attack on Titan. My irl cat got her first name.

[Darkstride]

I started using the character name Ruin in games starting with Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne. It just seemed appropriate given the setting. Ever since, I just liked the sound of it so I've used that for most games where you can name a character. For my last name, Darkstride, it just popped in my head while brainstorming and I liked the sound of it. I had never really played any Elder Scrolls games and later on realized it was coincidentally the name of an armor set.

[Zanarkand-Ronso]

I started out Years ago on the Beta back in 2.0.
I was a Female Miqote Keeper of the Moon.

My name Lunara Nightengale, was pretty much just me playing on the Moon Theme.
Thought it was cute back then, Im finding out that many other people use the Names Lunara and Nightengale with different spellings.

[MeeDeggiThePunisher]

For the forums Mee Deggi The Punisher is a FFXI Notorious Monster. For in game Sevro Barca is a character from a book series I like.

[Krokov]

Krokov is the name of the villain in the 1981 Disney movie Condorman. Reynall is just something I thought up.

[PerrinTaveren]

My name is Tiny Papoy.

My sister calls me a papoy, the word comes from despicable me movies. Minions call unicorn toy papoy in the movies. So i wanted something to remind me of my sister because i love her.

And i am tiny because i am lalafell

[ShanaShirayuki]

I was a fan of League of Legends back during 2.0, and my favorite character was Akali. Back then the lore for LoL was bare bones, so I took some creative liberty in coming up with a last name.

Fast forward a few years and I stopped playing LoL by then, so I incorporated the name into my character's lore / RP backstory. Sometimes I'll get the occassional tell or greeting from another player who still plays LoL, but for me it's more about the former.

Her name roughly translates to Light Dark, so much of my glamours pertain to cosmic dualism (such as Yin and Yang) and includes many black and white color schemes.

[Theodric]

Character Name:

It fit the Midlander naming conventions.

Forum Name:

I didn't put much thought into it. When I first made my account, I had no idea whether I'd stick with the game or not on a long term basis. So I just came up with something random. I'd like to change it someday, though it isn't currently possible.
