Where'd you get your character/pet/ego names?

  So! Ever wonder where the hell we get out names? Here's a little thread that tells the story!
  
  Keiko (Human) - Pretty much my internet persona. If you're one of my OLD OLD friends, you would know my former name "MissHannah" was used before Keiko.
  Shiryoku (Elf) - Means "Eyesight" but he has everything BUT that! (I swear I am SO UNLUCKY with the bow.)
  Tejina (Giant) - A word meaning "Magic" or "sleight of hand" but that's totally contradictory init?
  Schezo (Human, but mule) - This guy:

  He's my favorite Dark Wizard in the world. If you know me, I'm one Stupid Schezo Fangirl 8D (Too much Puyo Puyo.)
  Lagnus (Keiko's Sword Spirit) - Same story where I got Schezo, except it's this guy:

  He's Schezo's elemental opposite, but the poor guy gets thrown around a lot. I decided to give him love by naming him my spirit weapon.
  Freiherrin (Shiryoku's Bow Spirit) - Ironically, I Google'd up the name which means "baroness" in German. This isn't the origin, I thought the name was pretty when I was playing FF: Crystal Chronicles.
  
  Pets
  Missile (Y. Jindo) - If you've played Phoenix Wright you'd know this lil' guy.
  Halika (Pally Husky) - Tagalog for "come." Creativity block :P
  Bunbunmaru (Crow) - Aya's newspaper :B
  Monogatari (Shire) - "Story" in Japanese. When I summon it, it'll be like "Keiko's Story" :P
  Ajeno (Bobtail) - Spanish for "foreign."
  Yuusen (Mini Bear) - JP for "brave fight."
  Shirocobo (White Cotton Ostrich) - Shiro (JP for white) + Chocobo = Shirocobo.
  Fumeikaku (Light Russian Blue) - Funny story. I was being an indecisive person (which is REALLY hard to counter D: ) and I can't decide between "Josui" (clean water) or "Schezy" (Schezo's pet name. Don't ask.) for my pet cat. But I ended up naming it "Fumeikaku" which means "indecisive" (Yes, I insulted myself.)
  Nishikaze (Eagle) - Japanese for "west wind." I keep associating Eagles with the Wind due to their method of flight.
  Myoaino (Persian) - Mixed up two words: "ainoko" meaning hybrid and "myou" meaning life. Supposed to convey "hybrid life" since Persians transform.
  OLIOLIOLIO (Red Rock Crab) - CRAB BATTLE!!!
  Hatsuyume (Rainbow Sprite) - "First Dream" in Japanese.

  I named my pet Zelenka. Because. There was a guy running for mayor or something near my city and that was his last name. And it was awesome. So... he lives on through my brown fox.

  Hmm, took Lone, put it with sky and I got Lonesky :D :thumb:
  
  And is it just me, or did I already make a thread about character names from a while back?
• Laconicus wrote on 2010-05-25 23:26
  Laconicus (main) - according to merriam-webster it's Latin for "Spartan." At the same time it means "one that doesn't talk very much," which is true because I'm introverted. So I thought it was a somewhat appropriate name xD
  
  Yukkuri (white albino snake) - Japanese for "slowly," cuz idk, I thought it sounded cool and it is pretty slow
  
  Horsebob (shire) - Horse + Bob. Didn't even think about Spongebob when making it lol
  
  Chocobueno (black ostrich) - Taken from a t-shirt I've seen lol... this
  
  Bokuwahouki (straw broom) - Japanese for "I'm a broom." :D
  
  Seiyumi (female ego bow) - Japanese for "holy bow" (聖弓). And I named it that because my self-given nickname is 聖なる射手 (holy archer).
• Phanterz wrote on 2010-05-26 02:05
  Name - I forgot
  
  Pets name's all have an "east" prefix (easthorse, easterncat, eastlizard, eastsprite, eastbroom), except 1 (westhorse). This is because my irl friend has an IGN called easteagle and he sent me 10k NX some time ago.
  
  I need 5 pets in each of north, west, east, and south. :P. 1/5 in west now.
