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

I was trying to think of some generic middle eastern sounding name

edit: My character name is Azran Hayat... might help to know that

Interesting note, your name means basically means "My life is exalted".
That is if Azran was a legit Middle eastern Name. But it's close enough to A'zam that you can make the jump.

[Andrien]

I used the random name generator from FFXI, and transfer that name over to FFXIV. People mistake it to be my real name too lol.

Larek Darkholme

Larek is the name of a character I created when I was writing webseries
Darkholme is for Raven Darkholme, the name of Mystique, the shape shifting mutant from Xmen

I will create more characters in ARR and keep that last name

[Alaltus]

<.<....... >.> no one is watching right? right!

Spent quite a long time trying to think of one as 1.0 alpha got closer and closer to starting. I chose to play a Lalafell because i liked the Taru Taru's attitude from XI, decided to play Lancer because well... even though Dragoon wasnt in the game i still wanted to stick close to my favourite job. Which is when i then took "high wind" the dragoon's trademark surname and latinised it to Altus Ventus then Lalanised it to Alaltus Veventus >=D

Lizam Prower


"Lizam" is just a take on my real name "Liam" that I've been using as my character/account name in various games for at least 10 years.

"Prower" however is a reference to the last name of the character, Miles 'Tails' Prower, which is a pun on "miles per hour". I've always been a huge fan of the classic Sonic the Hedgehog games on my Sega Megadrive, and Tails seemed to be the only Sonic character with a fitting last name ^_^;

I tend to choose interesting-sounding colors for my Internet-stuff names (or at least colors that I think have interesting-sounding names). My forum name is Indigo, my character is Sepia. My chocobo was named Saffron.

The chromatic theme for my names started back around the turn of the millenium. Long story short, I grew too attached to what was supposed to be a fake clan tag, and decided to keep the moniker prefixed to the name I had been going by. I've been using color-themed monikers ever since.

My character's surname was chosen to support what I wanted to do first with the character: Lancer, which I had a sneaking suspicion might eventually become Dragoon, if only by popular demand. Windsword sounds like an appropriate surname for someone who leaps high into the sky and crashes upon their enemies, blade-first.

[namasy]

is simple as me and my brother name together and with some mods

[Leyza]

A lot of mine were just made up. Trelose Avakiri, one of my alts, actually came from a character I made in Aion, a name which I made up! I think Avakiri came from too much Oblivion. I realized about a month after I made him how much his name sounded like Akaviri. >.>

[Psykotsu]

I liked the idea of the Band of Seven from Inuyasha. (Wasn't a fan of the series but I did watch it becauase adult swim and such) So in another old mmo where you could create affiliations and gang up on people, we created our names using their style. Bonkotsu is the only one I remember. It's been this way for years.
