Really :) That's pretty cool name. ^^
My first name I changed it to Alyria from a name referencing a JP girl band.
This is my 2nd name:
Well this name I actually was looking for a anime name with my was a bf at that time, as a couple. But every name was taken so I just googled random names and saw Alyria as some game title and here I am.

I made my name up, actually.
I wanted something that sounds Latin, but also something that I won't run into "That username is taken" everytime I register for a new site.

Sly comes from the nickname I obtained in real life for being a sneaky little *** :P
Tribal is my characters surname and I got this since FF9 is my favourite game, and I main Thief.

My name IRL is Parker so I kinda just messed with it and came up with Parak :)
My first LS used to call me Parakattack so now I have a Galka named Parakattack also

LOL.
I wish I could have had the name "Rini" instead of "rinielenika".... but a FLIPPING RMT FISHBOT had that name (!?!?!?!?!?!) ... yeah I found them in Sandy. They got banned finally, but man did it make me a sad person.
I still kinda wanna change my name to "Rinii" just with an extra i... but oh well :/ Everyone knows my long-*** name by now on Fenrir... changing it would probably make people want to stab themselves.
Not to mention.... Im so use to spelling it @__@ lol.

Siren.Khellendros said: Like a previous poster, my main character's name comes from the Dragonlance series of books. I'm named after the blue dragon Khellendros (his name to humans was Skie, which leads to my first SN Skiemage due to my tendency to like mages and magic in general).
As for the other characters, one belonged to my brother, and another to my father. My father used to play Ultima Online with a friend at work, and was usually on the wrong end of a mob of monsters and needed reviving... When he joined a guild with the same friend he was given the title of "Monster Magnet" so he named his Warrior Monstermagnet.
My brother's character came from a book I'd read recently (at the time) called "The White Dragon (In Fire Forged, Part 1)" by Laura Resnick. Najdan was the name of an assassin from the book, and since my brother originally wanted to play Ninja, I suggested the name to him.
Khellendros kicks ***!!!

Technically, if you wanted to, you could make a mule on a different server using the same name, then switch your main character to that server. You get a message saying the name is already taken and that you have to change it. Then you can change it to anything you want and switch back.
Sure, it costs 50 dollars but...well, you get a new name.

Deleting your char, then making a new one with the same name, and then reactivating the old one works in the same way to change name too.

My friends used to call me "beast," so when I started playing City of Heroes I made a mis-matched, worse-than-random-generated costume, and called myself "Wretched Beast." After switching MMOs a few times, since that name doesn't fit in some, I've gone with "beast" oriented names, most commonly Beaster. Sometimes Beastinson, Beasteroo, Beastacular...
I also found out after the fact, that on urbandictionary.com, Beaster is apparently a kind of marijuana, and some other things I don't like to talk about.
My favorite reference to Beaster comes from imdb. It's the name of a movie where Jesus comes back from the dead as a zombie and Pontius Pilate has to kill him.

I named myself after one of the most annoying characters in the Wheel of Time book series -.-. Seriously, her character is awful, but I liked the name. I initially wanted to use Faile ,which is the main name she goes by, but it was taken.

I do video game design, my name was a character on the oldest version of a script I'm writing, he doesn't exist anymore though :< I still use it cause it's never taken when I sign up. Don't even remember how I came up with it.

Unicorn.Ixn said: My name is a little random on how i got it well the 'n' part not the IX part
IX is my favorite number and also my nickname back when i was 9 (still now)
just wanted my name like that but it had to be 3 or more letters long so i had to put an extra letter without losing its meaning to me
so i thought about the word maybe then added 1 then some reason thought out the number 6463 from that which spelled nine on my phone then i put in the letter n for nine but...
would've been s for six but someone already took ixs >.>
so i had put n infront of the IX which made Ixn
apparently it has alot more meanings from others than what i thought of. You just ruined a 4years old mystery! <_<
I wanted a cute name for a mithra, I was making every race/sex possible back then (first "real" MMO, didnt really understand that in the end only 1 character would be seriously played). Didnt like normal Yuffie spelling so i went for Yuffy, original etc. Works well with JPs at least <3

My name was supposed to be latin for Lake but "Lacus" was taken unfortunately, but I think I prefer this variation now :)
Edit: I am a Gundam fan as the avatar suggests (well gundam fans will recognise the char) but I didn't name it after the SEED char, I just like the name :P

Started this game out as Buckafufalo..got GM jailed for it and had to pick a new name and Zorander is one of the main characters from the Sword of Truth book series. It took me a long long time to get used to the name, but now I really like it.
LONG LIVE BUCKAFUFALO!
^ Still my name for other games, but sooo many ppl have ripped it off, makes me angry!

I last read the series in full about 5 years ago also, but I opted not to reread everything. That would take waaaay too long. So far I haven't been too confused by all the details, but I have had to look up a few characters here and there to remember their back story.
Also, the new book is pretty good so far :) I have issues though. Egwene's storyline got really interesting (to me at least), and so I skipped through through the entire book reading only her chapters. :X

My name i used when i first started playing my first mmo, Everquest on ps2 lol.
Ara- tolkien prefix for royalty and honor ex-Aragorn Aramir etc)
Vol-is the term for evil, prince of darkness etc.
My CHaracter on everquest was a Dark Elf which suited him.

Well first of I did not get my name from Jack spicer from the cartoon show.
I got this name for 2 reason
1. I loved the cult classic "The dunes" and in the movie they harvest "spice" that they hold treasure.
2. This guy i liked had the last name spicer..
So I loved the name and took it.

Well for me my RL name is Brian and in the group of friends I hung out with there was another Brian that was smaller and a little bit younger so he was called "Little B" and I was called "Big B". Of course I was Playing D and D during that time and stumbled on the "Bigby" line of spells in the Player's Handbook and it just kinda stuck from there.
In game it kinda throws people off when they see Bigby because they think they're going to see a galka walk up and then they see a big Tarutaru show up.
I do have a Galka Mule named "Lilby" though :P

A famous former char there in bahamut (i'm certain they were banned) "Labiamajora" tho few ppl actually knew what that name implied
I've always been interested as to how people get their ingame names.
Mine is a combination of my bf's and my name.
So, where did you get your name from?
