My name is a combination of letters from my wife, daughter and son's names. The last part is just something that goes well with it, since I'm mainly a tank and that is what we do.

Oh, I like that! I did something similar with my alt! (didn't mention him in my previous post, maybe should have, heh)
I have an alt named Archeric Boncheval. I love how it ended up sounding like a very nice male Elezen name in its own right, but I was just loving hard on the HW story at the time and simply played around with multiple combinations of segments of my favorite NPCs' names until I found one I liked the sound of ("Archeric" = "ARtoirel + HaurCHEfant + AymeRIC").
And I had read that Elezen favor French-sounding names. I love horses, so just kept plugging different combinations of "horse" + [random adjective] into Translate until I found one I liked both the look and sound of. "Bon cheval" literally just translates to "good [male] horse" in French, but I love the way it looks and sounds as a name!
Eep, sorry to blather on about me, this was supposed to be about you *sheepish grin*. Just got so excited to see someone who fashioned a name in such a similar manner as me!![]()
it's kinda dumb but why not:
I liked the idea of "night" and, for a name, "Nyx" immediately came to mind back when I made a character in... middle school? Who I still use sometimes since, frankly, I like her and she was sort of what the younger me aspired to be more like (more bold/assertive/confident etc...). At the same time I had made her a twin to another character I named "Vesper" for kind of the evening star/evening prayer aspect to it and Vesper sort of embodied a mix of stuff I didn't particularly like so much about myself (anxiety/stutter I used to have/etc...)
But a lot of people, back when I actually did write and RP and stuff, found Vesper /very/ endearing which ironically fueled some more confidence in myself -- at least insofar as starting to be able to find more kind things/positivity in the things I was insecure about. I ain't perfect now, but y'know, babysteps start somewhere.
That said Nyx, as that old character, sorta just embodied to me a desire to remember why I made her in the first place, and to continue working at my own issues to grow into the person I want to ultimately be. Since these two characters were demons originally and I was very excited about au'ra for the horns/scales/tails/limbal rings, I ended up naming my au'ra after that specific character. So it's a little bit of a personal message intermixed with just "au'ra kinda look demonic and that's fitting."
"Netherflame" was literally just trying to work out something like "a fire that burns cold", but also kinda worked with voidal thematics somewhat back when. And was also just kinda "what would Nyx, if given the agency, choose for her last name" and she is... edgy isn't quite the word, but like, she's a person who would pick something edgy. (I guess like, edgy/tough/spiky and rough on the outside, with a softer more pastel inside if that makes sense)
Basically a mix of a personal message + I'm jus a chick that likes metal/black armor/demons/big swords and red a lot.
it's better than my ESO character whose name is just Brutalika
Mine? Back in the mid-2000s I played a game called Runescape, a game played by mostly teenagers. So, lots of immature sounding names like "I pwn j00 noob", "I pwn ur mom", "Icecoldkilla", etc. I came up with Joe Schmoe out of my desire to not follow the herd, as well as not being mistaken for a 12-year old.

I like space
There's a short story behind my character's name. I used the random name generator and Gacho Lacho popped up.
The "acho" part stuck with me but the name set off my alarm bells. It felt off.
After a quick Google search, I found Gacho Lacho meant an extremely bad lover. LOL
Thank you Spidey Sense!
A couple of quick changes later, I came up with Kacho Nacho. It sounded friendly and casual, just what I wanted for my little guy.

I'm seeing a lot of new / returning faces around the forums.
So, uh... bumpity bump. If anyone has a story or a joke behind their name, or just wants to share their thought process, I'd love to read about it : )
GW2 back when everyone had to to be direct damage (berserker) greatsword warriors. So i made a charr (roman first name) with bloodletter being related to a different warrior build that did damage over time instead.
