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

[Gagusho]

I came up with Gagusho a long time ago when I was a kid, not sure if I got it from somewhere or just came to me. For last name I picked out Tsukiyo (moonlit night) because I love love the moon. Would of love to use Zangetsu which is the title of my favorite classic Japanese song, but didn't because people would think I am a bleach fan.

For my chocobo I named him Tanpopo which was the name of the little bird from xxxholic kei.

[Fazrenar]

When I was 10 or so years old I was given this cute little pewter dragon figurine, a baby dragon with the most inviting smile
After looking deep into it's eyes the name Fazrenar came to mind. I have used this handle online for years now.

When XIV came along a change was needed because in-game I wanted the same surname as my partner, so diminutive "Faz" was coined.

As for our surname "Talan", we can't quite remember how that was formed, but to us, it sounds slightly dangerous

For our linkshell we choose the name GONDWANA. This was a name for the super-continental mass of earth... way back when. It felt right because all the lands of the world were connected together in Gondwana. As Australians, Gondwana has local cultural meme's, and Australia is sometimes referred to as Gondwanaland, in song and story.

[faris]

Faris means horseman in arabic, and Ain means star.

I like arabic names. They're ultra pretty.

[Andreas-Lycaeus]

Chris Davis, that's me in real life. I love adventure in real life so it's just me in a Fantasy adventure. But Christopher is Christ like and Davis is sub for David which means beloved. So when I interact with others I'm not role playing it's the real me. I think I'm beloved by all the Titans linkshell and whom I meet.

My chocobo is Maximus, I like Russel Crow Version of him in the Gladiator. An honorable stead he is. Now I'm role playing.

That's cool! I'm always Andy in games too

[valetarkus]

My name "Vale" derives from the place where my Highlander father and Lowlander mother snuck away (against the rites and rituals of the clans) and conceived me...I didn't like to know about that either. That was a weird conversation for me.

[Duelle]

Enough said.

[LawlSTi]

Forum name: I drive an STi and its lol.

Game name: Because Stanklemuff McJiggletits may have been frowned upon.

[Eliseus]

I was googling names back in EQ days and liked Eliseus. My bro use to make all his chars surnames in EQ Kayne, and I figured I would do that with him since I was his brother. Since then I have always had the name Eliseus in every MMORPG I play (very rarely is there one I don't get it in). If there is ever a sir-name or anything I do Kayne.

[Cendres]

Siali Liatho: Siali is elvish (D&D) for shadow cat and she's a Moon Keeper so it fits. Liatho I got from a book I was reading where the main heroine's name was Liathano and she was a powerful sorcerer, I only want to level magic classes so there.

But I may change to a new name based on my own real life one, Cin Lyhn. But not sure.

[echogame]

I'm my favorite froufrou coffee drink. :>
