Why did you choose your name?

  As the title says, why did you choose your name (forum/in game), and does it have a special meaning?

  It's the name of an original character of mine. Her qualities lean towards the elf side even if she isn't one. Humans can more accurately portray her physical features but overall, being an elf would probably suit her more.

  It was about 10 years ago, I was 9, unoriginal person. Bakuryu is a character from Bloody Rawr. And the nickname just stayed with me, º3º changed it a few times but always came back to it, it's what people knew me as.

  My forum nickname is a joke.
  
  In game though, it was taken from the manga/ anime; Monster.

  A combination of two names I used to use in roleplaying forums; "Kyouri" and "Koharu". I already took Kyouri in game and Koharu was already taken so I sliced them in half and made Kyouharu.

  "Laconicus" is a Latin word meaning "one who doesn't talk much," which is me, as I'm introverted. It also means "one from Laconia" (Sparta is the capital of Laconia, so it's a bit like saying Spartan). Well, I don't speak Latin, but that's what I've read it means o_o

  A friend of mine years before called me "Sid" for some reason that I never understood.
  
  I eventually replaced the "S" with a "Z" since it looks better.

  The second part of that made me laugh xD
  if I went by nicknames mine would probably be taken. I could have spliced my full name together the way people THINK it's spelled.. >.>

  Athde. Anagram for death... Yah, I kinda couldn't find a way to make it actually look like a word so Athde...
  Gricenchos. Cichol's last name :D

  "Kantetsu" (my main-giant) was just bored and had used it before in other games and yes based off bleach ... i wasn't very creative.. when i thought of it....
  
  other chars names "lunous" at that point i remember thinking of the moon and the word "Luminous" , "Lunous" was the result xD.
  
  and finally "Soulmiester"
  based off of previous char (changed the i and e to make new char) due to losing old due to email loss and such (was my brothers email site- ~sigh~). I had recently watched the anime Soul eater and i just mixed the two character types "Soul" the name of the one weapon and "Meister" - meaning "Wielder of ____"
  aka... "wielder of the soul"

  In Art class during high school, I was once hella bored and told all my classmates that there should be a sixth Spice Girl-- the "lost" one. I created a whole story for her too. She had fallen off an airplane into the Amazon where she was never found again.
  
  I went through several names with my friends, but I decided that she had to be called Funky Spice 'cause it sounded pretty darn cool.
  
  Funky just didn't cut it for me though, so I threw in a "Ph" and a "ie" into the word and Phunkie Spice was born. She was just diva-like and fabulous like that. :O
  
  My friends started calling me Phunkie Spice a few days after that. It was a running gag in Art class. 8D
  
  So I kept it.
  
  Today, I just use Phunkie.
  
  :)
  
  
  Haha, I really miss those fun high school days.

  Ricochet is an epic word.
  
  Orange is my favourite colour.
  
  The only problem is that in games usually I can only use Orange. Like in Pokemon it only has enough spaces to spell "Ricoche" so I use Orange.
• Axx wrote on 2010-04-22 17:45
  Axx--short for Axxendal--randomly typing letters on the keyboard to generate a user name and I eventually got this, thought it sounded good so went with it.
  
  Finesse--I thought it'd be pretty ironic to have a giant named Finesse. No one seemed to notice or care, though.:gloom2:
  
  Yukiona: :blood::blood::blood:

  Someone took Yukionna so I cut out an N. I don't remember if Tsurara was available or not.
• Iyasenu wrote on 2010-04-22 17:52
  My forum name is from a loooong while back.
  I sorta took a word out of context from "The Real Folk Blues" song and used it as my name for nearly everything with games and internet. xD
  
  Later on, I moved from Iyasenu to Oischione. This was during the time I played Maple. Started on Windia as Iyasenu, then (this part is fuzzy as to what server I was on) to Oischione, on Mardia(?). Then to Teraschione on Kradia.
  
  Then, since most games make use of alts, I decide to make it pretty obvious it was me, even when I'm on an alt. So i made the -schione a suffix/gimmick for my names.
  
  Teraschione- Main Male
  Tero- alt 1 M
  Ita- alt 2 M
  Seraschionne- Main Female
  Mina- alt 1 F
  Seri- alt 2 F
  
  And for other things like pets and such (like other party members on 1-P rpgs where you can choose the names *coughEtrianOdysseycough*) I'd use only the suffix part, or just make of names (like Nimana, Renistre, Kiratte, Tsurita).
  
  But my mains are always Tera/Sera-schion(n)e.
  And always seem to be mages :p
  
  
  But that's basically it.

  Forum name is my LONG held nickname offline that i use now and then for a username. It's just a mock up of my name Rylie that me and my friends thought sounded cool. I'm mostly known by my middle name online though, which causes a lot of humorous confusion. I guess thanks to my girlfriend's friends and a humorous Halloween I'm also known as "God" online and off too...
  
  My character name is a long dead gamertag that I renamed to something else (I forget what), then gave to a friend. It drives me nuts every time I look at it in game since I made it after a very bad break up and looking at it just reminds me of that time. Hence my obsession with name change cards (that with my luck will never be more than an urban legend of Mabinogi).
  
  My old RP character name is ironically Ryerth (irony from when i looked at guides on MG and saw someone else with it). A combination of my name (Rylie) and Rayearth, because at the time of making it I was watching Magical Knights Rayearth with my cousin and i thought the word rayearth sounded friggin awesome and I needed a name for my RP character on MSN chats. If i ever got name change cards I'll be changing my character's name to either that or my art handle "Angelleon". Angelleon being a play on my middle name (lol Angelus), and my obsession with religious style imagery.
  
  
  Yea... I guess that rambled on a bit more than anticipated... meh.
