Cottage Pie · Mar 03, 2006, 09:01 AM // 09:01

Cottage Pie....a fun, stupid name that has never grown tired. Vertexis Greezachki may have initial WOW but after a few days you would hate that name...cottage pie is perhaps the only name that will never end up annoying me.

Plus people remember me from ages ago. yay

Killion · Mar 03, 2006, 09:03 AM // 09:03

Lonely Ranger.. > I like to play solo. All my chars are > Lonely *****

Opeth11 · Mar 03, 2006, 09:24 AM // 09:24

Hmm lets see if I can remember..
W/Me Dion Phaneuf - Hockey player. Watched him play through the minor leagues. Expoded in joy when the kid got drafted onto my beloved Calgary Flames <3

R/Mo Harlequin Forest - Always loved the music of Opeth, as suggested by my name, and the word 'forest' fits well with a ranger in my mind.

Mo/W Jessie Tuirc - Had a guild mate whom i've bonded with named Tessa Tuirc. I stole that name and put Jessie in front because..I..don't..know..

N/me Rusting Water - My bands name <3

Crevic · Mar 03, 2006, 09:32 AM // 09:32

Warrior: Unauthorized User, because at the time, I had no idea how to use a warrior, and I had just finished watching Tron.

Ranger: Rocket Science Made her have blonde hair. She really lived up to her name today after running straight into 50 Scarab traps in Prophets Path. XD

bongo-666 · Mar 03, 2006, 09:38 AM // 09:38

Good to see an other Pearl Jam fan!

My name MIthrades was loosely based on an ancient Greek, Mithradates I believe.
Oh and my Necromancers name Eurydice is of the Orpheus and Eurydice story, those of you who know it might find Eurydice very suitable for a Necromancer.
My rangers name Elessar is lame I know but I couldn´t think of anything else

Shusky · Mar 03, 2006, 12:09 PM // 12:09

Shusky The Penguin - quite a long story. Shusky is short for Silver Husky, which is named after a random car of which I saw a commercial when I was thinking about a new username. So there. "the Penguin" part comes from an old myth of Nile Penguins, a noble tribe related to Flying Purple Hippos. I'm not going into details here

Randomly Explosive - seemed like a good name for an ele, since Magical Trevor was taken

I like the idea of a homicidal cretin with great knowledge of earth or fire magic.

Kill My Ally First - a variation of Rush My Ally, a name I saw in one of online RTS communities. I thoght it would be fitting a warrior.

Were All Gonna Die - a panicky and scared shitless monk makes a good team with a mythical ranger, an idiotic ele, and a cowardly warrior. Hell yes!

GraceAlone · Mar 03, 2006, 02:42 PM // 14:42

Shenkei Kuusai = roughly means God's Grace Saves

EternalTempest · Mar 03, 2006, 02:48 PM // 14:48

Eternal Tempest (Ele) = Mage / Fantasy sounding name and Tempest sounding as in Magical Engery storm.

Tempest of Ascalon (Monk) = Still like the tempest angle but did the old school naming convention of Name of (Insert Town Your from) from the old days.

Toll Booth Willie · Mar 03, 2006, 03:03 PM // 15:03

My Red Stapler - Office space
Big Tom Callahan - Tommy Boy
Tps Report - Office space
Mary Samsonite - (its a movie, i'll let you guess)

Kitty · Mar 03, 2006, 03:21 PM // 15:21

The Hoarse Raven(N): From Shakespear, MacBeth, in Lady Macbeths speech there is the sentence: "the raven himself is hoarse, that croakes the fatle entrance..." I won't go it the meaning of it, find it out yourself.

Maken Chan(W): japanese, Maken: the true sword, Chan: a cute ending

Lady Chiltern(Me): A character form "an ideal husband"

Sakura Naosu(Mo): japanese, Sakura: cherry blossom, Naosu: healing

Dash Logan · Mar 03, 2006, 03:28 PM // 15:28

Dash Logan, a name i brought from my freelancer days, got the logan from a game called tachyon the fringe and dash from a game called shadows of the empire, i think its cool and it sort of rolls out of your mouth, all my other chars are part of the family logan, original eh

TehTomato · Mar 03, 2006, 03:34 PM // 15:34

Frea of Kryta- My first char and ele, me and a friend were making chars at the same time in the same room so we picked out names we liked and added of kryta. I know.

Daria of Kryta- Warrior, second char, still yet to be finished, stuck with the suffix but I'm a fan of daria

Jane Lane- Necromancer, In the show Daria, Jane is Daria's best friend

Quinn Morgendorffer- Ranger, In the show, Quinn is Daria's sister

Symeon · Mar 03, 2006, 03:41 PM // 15:41

Well, it may help to say my RL name is Simon.

Therefore Symeon/Symeion relates to that, I just thought it sounded more interesting than Simon. In fact I first used Symeon back in the days when I played Rome Total War online.

So, Symeion Axewielder = ...Simon with an axe

My other character names I kind of thought up over their professions/builds.

Blessed Dark (Mo/N) = Blessed is the monk part, Dark is the necromancer part. Simple, huh?

Shashiya Devilfire (N/Me) = I invented the name Shashiya a lonnngggg time ago, can't remember what for. Devilfire...well...it kind of makes sense, and it sounds good to say Shash-i-ya De-vil-fi-ya...you with me?

Mylena Swifwind (R/E) = Mylena, is just a name. Swiftwind...dunno. Not much meaning there.

Stormfall · Mar 03, 2006, 03:46 PM // 15:46

Faerian Stormfall: (R/E) The Guild Wars version of an old RPG character (who made appearances in Neverwinter Nights and Ragnarok Online).

Swordreaver Karla: (W/E) Karla's another carry-over from past online RPGs - she started out on Diablo 2 as a battle-oriented sorceress named Karla Greywitch (cheap gank on Karla the Grey Witch from "Record of Lodoss War", I'll confess). Over the course of a couple more games she shifted toward more "battle" and less sorceress...ness...

Linka Soviet: (Emo) Well, this one's kinda embarrassing. Anyone who was a kid growing up in the 90's should really get this one.

Archangel Appolyon: (N/Me) Appolyon is the Greek name for Revelations' angel of destruction, more commonly known as Abaddon. The character was originally an N/E where the point was to use a high Soul Reaping to fuel heavy-damage Fire and Air spells (thus the whole "destruction" thing). I'll give you 3 guesses as to how well it worked.

Yichi · Mar 03, 2006, 03:57 PM // 15:57

Mistress Yichi - Named after a prostitute in Japan. (was bored and couldnt think of a good name, cousin thought of this on a DAoC char)

Myk · Mar 03, 2006, 04:09 PM // 16:09

My E/N is boring, just a composite of my daughters names, one is called Amethyst and one is called Breeze, hence Amethyst Breeze. Every game I play always has an Amethyst Breeze in it, whether it be the name of a spaceship or a cute creature.
The thing is that Amethyst actually decides what colour scheme I have to use and it always ends up as pink... well she is only 4 years old

Indira · Mar 03, 2006, 04:26 PM // 16:26

Almost all of my character names comes from horses. I used to be in charge of registration of a particular breed of horse that originates in Europe. All the female names with this breed end with 'a' so they make some pretty cool game character names.

Siara Koflach Mo/N - Koflach is the village where the breeding farm is located

Faewyn Piber E/Me - Piber is the farm

Starsha Trompeta R/E - Trompeta is the Italian line of horse breed

Lydia Von Lietzig Me/Mo - Like someone already said, mesmers can be so pretentious and elegant looking, I thought 'Lyds' needed a 'stuffy' name. (And, my daughter was watching "Beetlejuice" when I created her LOL) But, in keeping with my lack-of-imagination theme.. Lietzig was also one of the breeding farms.

Oh.. and 'Indira'.. that's my mare!

Teklord · Mar 03, 2006, 04:30 PM // 16:30

First character I made:

Anakin Landrunner (Monk) - Just some obvious fun. This character was later replaced with...

Brother Skywalker (Monk) - Brother of the Monk order, obvious Star Wars reference.

Tyr Anasazi (Warrior) - My short lived Warrior character, obvious Andromeda reference.

Tess Stormcrow (Ranger) - Probably my most used character. First name came from a show called Roswell, second name as I recall I picked up from Lord of the Rings - Gandalf's last name as known to the people of Rohan I believe.

Vilandra Darkstar (Necro) - Another Roswell reference in the first name, the second name I just invented thinking it should have something to do with darkness/death for the Necro.

Oberon of Avalon (Ele) - Tall male character with long white hair. Idea taken from Gargoyles. This character was recently replaced with...

Disciple of Ori (Mesmer) - Stargate SG1 reference. Prior of the Ori was taken.

And soon I'll have to come up with something for a Ritualist and Assassin.

tommarrow · Mar 03, 2006, 05:40 PM // 17:40

Gail Force Winds(E/Mo)-just a mix of a girls name with an elemental effect.

Deathbringer Guy(W/Me)-just making fun of some warriors names.

Eyes on the Prize(Mo/Ra)-no meaning just what came to mind.
