Just curious as to how everyone came up with the name they did and if they initally wanted a differnt name but was already taken. I'll start...

My name irl starts with a "V" (i hate my name irl btw) but anyways, I implimented it in the game and wanted a character name that started with "V"... I spent 2 weeks writing down possible names be4 PS2 release...

I wanted to be name Yarr but some canadian pimip that dates hot bartenders beat me to it... damn early PC release ><

My name irl is Matt but I wanted a somewhat feminine name for a Mithra so I added an "i". Yes, that's right, I'm an unoriginal bastard...

I don't look, act, or smell mexican. The only mexican I have is from my dad who is 100% mexican. His mom and dad swam across to Texas together I think...

I wanted to be a Dark Knight from the beginning. When I thought of Dark Knight I started thinking all biblical-like and thinking who was a uber badass. Well, there was this one guy who challenged God himself in the Great War. He wasn't an angel because he was the highest ranking angel, "The Morning Star." I didn't want to be known as the devil so I changed my named to Fallenseraph. I wanted to be known as a legacy, the one who would bring down the heavens and destroy those who stood in my path. The gods will have no chance against me. That is my dream to this name and is why I chose my name.

I was sitting at game trying to come up with a name, and hubby was watching Babylon V with Jen. I hollered out "I need a name for my game" and he was talking to Jen about Alpha Sentouri. Thus my name was born.

Cyn

Computer-generated name, I was feeling not-very-creative the day I started the game. But I scanned through a few dull names till I found one I like. I liked it because it's like my real name, Cindy.

I chose the name because i am pure of heart and a priest.

Err wait no =p

I chose my name because i chose to go for paladin before i started playing...i always loved the shiny armor. Hence Holy knight of the end(omega) seeing they call god the alpha and the omega so i chose to be the holy knight of the end.

Believe it or not, my real life nickname is Lildog. Everyone who are tight with me call me that, and my crew calls me that (i know cliche, but whatever). I got the name from my uncle when i was like 7 years old. His exact quote to me was: "Ni??a, you the Lildog of the family, and i'm the Bigdog. But you'll have your turn at the top, nobody better not count you out just cause you small".

True story..

I picked this name cause in Socom i was Punked~Out and you cant use "~" in this game so i picked my other name for Forums and such to be Punkrawk. Im also in love with the music i listen to.

well, the name Gavin means "white hawk", and hawks are very noble and ruthless birds. Also, Gavin was the main character in the Star Wars Rogue Squadron books as well as one of the knights of the round table (so i hear)... just sounds so damn cool

I'm a big fan off all the past FF games so i wanted a name from a FF character. FFIV was my favorite and FuSoYa was my favorite character, that name was taken so I went with his brother KlUyAs name. I've gotten a few random /tells "You're Cecil and Golbez's dad right?" Those people get cookies.

I was set on going DRG and wanted a name that would fit my job. "Thunderstomp" made me think of a powerful force crashing down from the sky, ready to lay the smackdown.

Post subject: 

I've always been supafly since like FFV or so and plus I'm sure a lot of cool beats and tunes enter people's heads when they see my name, Exo even sings like a showtune type theme when I log -on to VC and it cracks me up every time.

I am not named after Jimmy "supafly" Snucka or the joecartoon.com character, I took it from an old 70's flick Pimp African American flick I learned about in like middle school since I went to school in the ghetto.
