My mithra (read: manthra)-- Slushy. Why Slushy? I assume you have tasted one. The sweet, sweet nectar of the gods next to Dr. Pepper.

Also because it's basically the name of one of my favorite genetically-created alien experimentations from when I was younger. I am, of course, talking about Lilo & Stitch. Hence the avatar.

So... yeah. That's why I called her (him) that. Represent~!

Not really related, but I'm pissed that someone else used Mhurron in WoW.

Rain sometimes symbolizes sadness and I named myself Rain because I've been through sadness and I've broken through to make myself better. The Blade part was added because "Rain" was always taken and I thought the word "Blade" sounded cool back then, but nowadays I dislike it in my name sometimes 'cause there are many people who have "Blade" in their name. I still use it since many people know me by the name of "Rainblade."

Eiyoko - I still don't know, it came from "Eiko" I think. I've used it since forever.
Tsumimi (Mule I've deleted) - Auto-name feature gave me the idea
Vikoaa - Came up with it myself, I don't remember how on this one either.
Chocodilly - I made a chocobo food bazaar and asked my friend at school for a name. Now, the said friend did not play FFXI but still know a little about it, and she had a very goofy personality. So she came up with some joke names. One of them was a mix between "Chocobo" and "Picadilly" (which is a cafeteria). Thus, Chocodilly was born.

I used Murphy on earlier characters (and still do at most any other forum), but as the "ie" made the name seem more taru-ish.

Well, considering the sheer number of servers, I'm sure some world is Mhurron-less.

Lucky bastards.

Deathrose = Name of an organization in one of my stories. Deathrose Clan.

Babooshka = I was bored, and wanted a funky russian name for my mule. Funny it was available.

Isoke = Name of my 2nd daughter....once I am old enough to raise kids >_> it was gonna be Azuka (leader of Deathrose Clan in my story), but it was taken.

I played a MUD called Dreamscape in 1995 and I had a character called Salishish Kel'shan. In that game you had to pick a name under certain criteria or your name will be rejected. You can create a last name after you decribe what your character looks like but as if someone saw you sleeping somewhere. After awhile I began to like the name Kelshan and use it for every game/MMORPG/MUD I played. I used it in this one but on a friends account (He was letting me get my first taste of FFXI). Well after a week of playing I decided to buy the game and have my own playonline ID. I deleted Kelshan from his account and try to name my main Kelshan. The server said the name was already taken and I couldnt use it. I waited for 3 days and the server still wouldnt let me use Kelshan. I decided to use a name I made up for a necromancer I had in Diablo two by the same name. Thus Losrase was created.

Renarudo is my name in Japanese.

Dahlaine · 11-21-2007, 08:08 AM

Dahlaine - character name taken from a David Eddings book. It's actually the name of a male character IIRC.

Arha (mule) - character name taken from The Earthsea books.

Yeah, I'm not very imaginative when it comes to names.

also /wave to Deathrose

Akashimo · 11-21-2007, 08:25 AM

Akashimo - Aka for red, being my color of choice, shimo for island, running that as a isolated, so being red and isolated.
Nekoai - Cat love, cause I find cat adorable and its perfect for a mithra character

Axelius · 11-23-2007, 01:15 PM

My real name is Alexius (obvious as hell) (Alexios in Greek) but everyone has been calling me alexander so it's like a clarification. .heh.

P.S. How did you get your name in Japanese? I always wanted to see how mine is.

WishMaster3K · 11-24-2007, 01:00 PM

Oh shoot... Well I'm not exactly sure, but I remember finding a "translator" of sorts, and my name is Renaldo. Broken down into Japanese, they don't have an "" sound, so that get's replaced with "ru".

Furthermore, in Hira and Kata, my name is broken down into syllables- Re Na Ru Do.

I'll try to find links..
