My main's name, Chymea Sum, came from my main in Guild Wars 2, Chymea. Chymea was a name I randomly thought of then when making my first character there. Chymea in Guild Wars 2 is an Asura and their home city is named Rata Sum. So for Chymea's last name in FFXIV, I took the last part of the home city of Asura, making her name Chymea Sum. I even chose a relative race here in FFXIV to Chymea, as Asura and Lalafell are small.

My other two characters, Zozore Zore (another Lalafell) and Rivienne Cahernaut (Elezen) are from the random name generator. I just hit random until I found names I liked.

My forum name is what I was told was the Japanese version of my name along with the month and day I was born.
