How you got your name?

Like the title says, me and James were having a chat about the names of people and I got an idea, how about everyone here posts how they came up wiht their characters first (and/or) last name and maybe your username.

I figured that we could get some pretty interesting stories out of this.

Here's Nevets:

Nevets was the name of an imaginary friend i had that was kinda evil, then i realized that he wasn't real and that it was just in my mind, thus making Nevets a voice in the back of my head that told me things, then i ended up using him for the name of my RP characters

Okay, your turn.

Well, I figured I'd throw my username in here as well. I got the name 'Rexon', from the Latin for King; which is Rex in case you guys didn't know. Then I just stuck the '-on' part because it was a name and I felt Rex sounded stupid. I came up with Daigo Takai, just because the names sounded cool; Yeah that's the only reason why :)

Good idea...

Me ans Seisho were helping me with my character one day and I somehow decided on an angel like character for my guy and I came to the conclusion that I wanted him to be born prematurley and had thus lost the ability to speak....and a quik trip to the jap translator gave me Hissori *silent* Tenshi *angel*

and there we have it...Hissori was supposed to be a mute

I'm not gonna lie, i looked at a list of japanese baby names, and under male, was Kin. then i looked around a japanese dictionary and landed on gekkou by chance. at the time i hadn't realized gekkou was alrdy a character clan name (gekkou hayate). i figured the name had a cool ring to it, and thus kept it, my entire character is based off that name.

as for my user name, it all started when the word 'rave' was put in my head when i watched some random sit com about a girl who hosts a rave party. then i figured it was a pretty cool name for someone who is rather insane or crazy, and added a letter to it. i first used it when playing pokemon red for gameboy pocket actually.....good times.

Well, Hebi Katai was born for my love of MGS, it meaning Solid Snake. Sacha helped me by going to the usual translator and picking out. I only picked Ike because he was a cool character and I love the Super Smash Bros. series >.>

Ah, well I told Rexon this on MSN, but eher it goes:

I found my character name Hero, bvy just thinking one day, about a name that meant; courage, honor and someone that would do what is right for any purpose. So then I thought of this name, and stuck with it for a long time. Hero's last name "Hosami" was just random and I do not know if it means anything, which it probably does not. It just had a ring to it, with the first name of Hero.

So yeah, that is all, that really sums up how I got the name for my RP character and Username.

My character name was due to me watching way too much Bleach. As for my account name, it plays 2 roles. My guild name is Zeta, which is the symbol in my username and my last name begins with the letter Z so it's sort of a weird fetish for the letter. O.O

A brilliant failure
Well mine really has to do with Dorian.

Dorian is Greek and the word can mean many things but one of them is Mountain people (I live in the mountains...) and the Dorian people would later become known as the SPARTANS, so that is why I picked that and then i just added on Vl :D

well theirs my reason.

Well i'll start with jumper.

i dont know how i dont remember why but since like 2nd or 3rd grade my screen name has always been jumper8659 and i went wiht it. it was simple and fit me. im about 5'8 and i can jump high enough to touch rim on a basketball hoop. in track all my events are jumping from long jump to poll volt and hurtles. people always seemed to notice that i can jump either high or far so it just kinda followed me as i got older.

For Jin Kaze Tsukai i really liked the character Jin from yu yu hakusho, but the episodes i watched i only knew his first name. I took his first name and began looking for somthing to go with his abilites and such. i remember on the show he had the nickname the wind tamer. so i searched for wind tamer. for the most part it came out to be Kaze Tsukai. Well when i was making my new profile for him i was talking to Kisuke about it and about anime's which he clearly had more knowledge over most of them ( i say we are tied or not yet to compete in dbz) well i thought the series ending with the human with demon powers. Well i was wrong it continued ( thank you kisuke) So i began to watch the new episodes i havnt seen and old ones for some idea. Turns out i got most of his full name right. I decided it was a better sounding name so i took it...

Well my characters name obviously came from Kingdom Hearts 2. When i heard about the site i wanted to make a water user, so i wanted her name to mean something that had to do with water. Naminé means ocean wave. So i decided to use that as her frist name. Her last name Arashi was a name i had liked for months. originally i had drawn a character for my comic and his name was Arashi...hes a god of heaven...and yada yada...anyways, Arashi means Storm. and when you say Arashi Naminé it sounds kind of weird...well if you translate it, it does. But when said Naminé Arashi...it would mean Ocean wave storm....like if you've ever been to the beach when a storm is coming and you see nothing but gray skys and the waves are picking up. They get stronger and bigger, and they just keep coming , destroying the beach....like their own little storm...well not little...but you know what i mean. Anyways thats my reason behind Naminé 's name.
