What's the story behind your character's name?

[JillyBean]

German/Romanian for Iron Gram.

I've always wondered if you were a Galka I knew from Seraph. Mainly because of the type of artwork in your sig.

I was in Gilgamesh. A Galka named Table. I doubt people would have memories of me. I didn't get to play very often and rarely outside of my group.
I was also abhorrently shy.

Interesting thread so far and I'm eager to read more responses. ^^

Nothing terribly exciting for my own response though.
My first name is original with no particular meaning or reference. Last name is just something I chose because I decided on Moonkeeper and wanted something to do with the night.

[Sanadaiyeve]

Syllable mashing then searching what segments of the 'name' meant and got:

Sanadaiyeve: Beautiful Beloved Life

Paranthia: Ornament of the Divine

Called Sana in game.

She's always frowning at me.

[Gamester]

In games I call myself Gamester since ages, which is a combo of Game and the brand Starter (which I liked very much like almost 20 years ago).

In FFXI it was just Gamester since we had to take two names in FFXIV I wanted to name my Char Gamester Ni (Ni = jp 2) the second incarnation of Gamester in FF online games so to speak, but it had to be at least three characters so I named the Char Gamester Nii.

If Gamester is chosen in forums or anything else I always go Gamester2097 ( because of WipeOut 2097 which is one of my favourite games )

[Fantasy9]

Was writing a book and Geovana was the main female characters name and Fletcher is my last name.

[Linkschildhood]

Links Childhood

In FFXI I wanted to be Link! However someone that was on before the PS2 release happened to be Link for a mule. I am a huge Zelda fan...

So I was going to create an Elvaan to be Link, so when I couldn't cause the dreaded "Name already taken" I switched to a Tarutaru and became "Links Childhood"

He more or less looked like the original Link from Zelda on NES.

That name has carried over to FFXIV, since Link never had a last name, I used "Links Childhood" and now I am a Lalafell!!!

[AmmaUltman]

Name: Amma
Meaning: Godlike
Gender: Female
Origin: Hindi
This was my characters name in WoW when it was a female blood-elf. When I did a change and became male blood-elf, I wanted the same meaning and found....

Name: Ultman
Meaning: Godlike
Gender: Male
Origin: Hindu

Sticking to Paladin, so I named my character Amma Ultman.

My chocobo's name is Magizzle, which was my original mage characters name on WoW, which comes from Snoop Dogging the word "Magic"
