Where does your character name come from?
Mine is because I want to be an admiral someday (might take a while though, lol) and well, I dread naught.

This is a name I have carried with me for quite around 10 years. It originated from The Matrix where the name Digital Pimp was spouted and I just modified it a bit to use for Quake II and Unreal matches in our high school's computer lab

Had it since, oh, 1992 or so, with a different last character depending on what's available. Or, technically, its current form comes from the fact that my co-workers couldn't pronounce the name I originally had whenever we had some after-work Doom sessions… That name comes goes back to the 1980s BBS days. ——— “If you're not willing to fight for what you have in =v=… you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.” — Karath Piki |

I've been carrying the monicker of 'Ruze' for about nine or ten years. It's based off the old Nintendo, US-release Final Fantasy. One of the abilities was 'RUZ'. Mix and match, ruse becomes a creative Ruze that for a long while was pretty unique.
I can pretty much guarantee a Ruze in most games.
Imagine my disappointment, however, when I find that the cool and unique 'Ruze' happens to mean rose in some eastern European languages

I named this character after a some obscure Mongolian baker.
My alts are variations of my real and ethnic names after my grandfather's name was butchered by Immigration Officials in the early 1900's.
I have tried to rise above the "Johnny StarRider" genre, as Eve is a serious internet spaceship game, and names should sound alien and be hard to pronounce.

I was annoyed that there wasn't a skill queue in the game and wanted CCP to implement it. I also wanted to clearly express my support and keep reminding people about the issue. By using the naming mechanism to do this I could do all that and not annoy other posters by having to talk about the issue constantly. I guess from now on it will be a reminder about how EVE used to be in the old days.

Quote: Y'Berion was the founder, leader and prophet of the Brotherhood of the Sleeper during the period the Valley of the Mines was separated from the outside world by the Barrier [...] Y'Berion died during the great summoning of the Sleeper conducted by the Brotherhood as the magic power channeled through the focus stone became too great for him to bear. Before his death however, he managed to warn the Brotherhood of the true nature of the Sleeper.

Ive used the name since long before EVE was released.
And besides a dev or someone odd owns the name "Ghost". I saw "Ghost" once in game this year. He was created at release and is still in in original corp.
If you think corp is different than a guild or clan you have some insecurity issues.

Edited by: Amarrian Cougar on 13/03/2009 21:32:15 The Amarrian part comes from well...being an Amarrian.
The Cougar bit came from sheer destiny. I have been followed my entire life by this word. In high school our mascot was the Cougars, my first girlfriend drove a Mercury Cougar, then once I was in the military my squadron mascot was oddly enough, again the Comm Cougars. The point when it stuck was at a my first gaming LAN when one of our friends starting delegating names to everyone on our team to confuse the opposite team as to who we were in game. He went with an animal naming convention and he told me mine would be Cougar and after the LAN I forgot to change it so after gaming on a server for a while people started to know me as Cougar and it stuck.
It wasn't until a few years later I understood what a Cougar was IRL (older women getting younger guys lul) by then it was too late to change it but it did confirm that it was my destiny to have this name because when I was in the military I was invited into several Cougar dens...if you know what I mean.
I wanted to use my secondary online alias for eve but alas, Spanky McAwesomepen1s (lol it's even blocked on the forum) is forbidden less I be renamed AmarrCitizen3453453432.

Towards the end of an 8 hour car ride a few years back around Christmas, my brother started mumbling incoherently in the back seat. My mom asked if he was having an epileptic seizure and suddenly he said loudly "Semaj Notlimah!" We quickly prepped for an exorcism at the next rest stop but he explained that it was his name backwards. After a few seconds I mumbled "Trebor Notlimah" and we all had a laugh. Then the terrorism jokes started flying about how those would be our Arabic names.
A few weeks later I heard about this game where you could terrorize people in internet space ships and while staring at the character creation screen, it just seemed fitting to use my 'Arabic name' -- sure enough it was available. So was my brothers, and my sisters, and my mothers.....

Some bastard took the version with the letter S of my name, especially annoying that I can see it's a redundant character ingame that hasn't been used for over 3 years for which even if the name became free I would still have to make a totally new character just to get it.
No fun sitting at the top of everyones local.
Not that it matters, my name isn't unique enough anyway for me not to deserve it in some way so I'd decided to get used to the idea and now and then everyday I try to think up something I can bull**** people about for why I have a number 5 for an S.
It's difficult though, it's nowhere near any important date, it's not even my lucky number or anything.

Oh boy... My name is a logn story. Guess I'll start on my old Nintendo days, I was a very unlucky person, always getting punted off the map on Mario... Well I came up with the name Zero Luck. As I slowly evolved my name into something shorter it became Zero, which stood at that very spot until I gained my xbox. And made an account on Xbox Live...
Well, since Zero and the 1337 forms of it were taken I used an older name I liked with my newer Name. Mixing: Lord of Darkness with Zero, and a little 1337 thrown in to make sure noone on xbox live had it, it became Z3R0 DARKN3SS.
Soon after buying Halo 2, me and my friends developed a clan, which was known as the Cyber Mentors. Sadly, this name has been forgotten by most of my friends, but carried alive and well inside my name. Which is now a mix of my old Clan name and my xbox live name; becoming Zeromentor. This orginally was put into some old MMO that didn't have the name room for Zerodarkness...
And that is the SHORT story of my name. Without the details it's "I thought of it this one time" which, in my opinion, is far more boring than me rambling about it for a few seconds... ______________________________________

My first MMORPG was SWG.
My name there was Mecinia Lu-a. Mecinia came from my old DnD character. Lu-a was randomly generated by SWG.
Came to EVE after the dreaded NGE. Kept the same name however EVE doesn't allow hyphen in name so had to drop hyphen.
(My alt Mecinea Lua is also the name of my alt from SWG, minus the hyphen again.)

My name was not originally a name per-se.
It's from the name of a web-based MMO that I created that's currently in "stasis" called Elysaria.
That name came from a brainstorming session where we tried to come up with a name for the game that sounded "right" and that we could get a .com for.
I've previously only been known by two other names: Rincewind and Worf - the first didn't seem appropriate for Eve (and is probably taken anyway, I didn't check), the second just didn't seem to "fit" Eve.
Rincewind (and Rincewind2) were my names for a long time in games like Racewar Kingdoms and Shimlar.
I used Rincewind and Worf on IRC for a long time (from 1993). ===================================== It smells of spoon! ===================================== |

As for me...in Jules Verne's Journey To The Center Of The Earth there's a character called Arne Saknussemm, who was supposed to be an Icelander. Fair enough, except his last name makes no sense according to any rules of Icelandic spelling. When I adopted this name over a decade ago for various roleplaying purposes, I modernised the name and dropped the double M. When it came to EvE, I changed the "S" to a "Z", as it felt more appropriate for a futuristic setting.
(I discovered the other day that there's a character in EvE who's called Arne Saknussemm.)

I liked Ben as a first name, easy to pronounce for practically anyone and reminded me of the characters from Star Wars and DS9 who were both well-meaning and always wanted to do good. The surname was just cobbled together with the letters I had left.

I was a big fan of the Dorsai series as a kid. The name is the main character from the first novel 'Tactics of Mistake' by Gordon R. D1ckson
I also immensely enjoyed the last novel called, simply, Dorsai!
Several more books make up the series which is known as the Childe Cycle but I enjoyed the above two the most.
It seems there are a few fans of the books playing EvE as I've bumped into a few pilots also named after a character from the series.

Anyhow, so I created a Charles Eden character on a trial account but didn't renew it. So when I got back into the game some time later I made a female version of "me"; Charlene. Kinda wish it had been the other way around so I wouldn't be stuck with a female character, but not much to do about it now.

Last name was made from deciding it would be good with 3 syllables and the first word I thought of was Nebula... tried some other ones and decided I liked the sound of nebula but I didnt want it to be an actual word. so went with Nebura. A bit flashy but makes no sense at all.. PERFECT

Edited by: Druadan on 15/03/2009 17:31:13 Mine comes from being obsessed with Lord of the Rings. I was studying Sindarin on the side and decided to translate my name into Elvish. Druadan is a variation (I added a prefix) on my real first name. If you can figure it out I'll build you an army worthy of Mordor. It's not hard though, even if you have no idea what the hell an elf is. I've used this name in pretty much every game I've played since then, to the effect that most of the Google results for Druadan are me, and most of the rest are about a forest in Middle Earth that has the same name. Sig removed, inappropriate content. If you would like further details please mail [email protected] ~Saint |

Used to play a MUD called Realms of Kaos (lol) when I was like 12... bought a character called Izo (for ingame cash) and wound up creating "Azlion" a few years later, cos it seemed to flow, and it stuck.
I'm 21 now, had the name for 9 years and going strong.
Izo Azlion.

Sadly I've seen that commercial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vaaxtxkJqKg&feature=related.
Anyways, I was trying to come up with a name for a character on that other mmo and had flash cards from me english class containing prefixes, roots and suffixes.
Ad-val-ary
Ad meaning to or toward, val (which my teacher taught had the meaning victory in it but the internet seems to disagree) and ary meaning a person, place or thing that.
So, the name in its initial form meant, someone who moves towards victory.

When I first joined an MMORPG there was a standard tip how to generate a name... basically it was "take the first syllables of first name + last name + maiden name of mother + place of birth". So I used it for my very first test char, and stuck with it eversince.

I was sat at my desk looking around the place trying to think of a name for about 10 minutes.
Eventually my head generated the word "Reven" from something or other. Then whilst glancing around I saw my little model '70 Chevelle, but not content with Chevelle, I mixed it up a bit and stuck a "Cord" in place of the "Chev".
Ta-da, Reven Cordelle.
Many people have confused it with Darth Revan, from Star Wars - Alas Star Wars has absolutely no influence on my character name.

Anyways, I wanted to name my female player char, which turned out to be Daphne, Deadly Nightshade, but that was already taken, so I punched deadly nightsahed into wiki, and a few clicks away was a plant called Daphne Mezereum. And volia.

Mine is derived from a village in Kent. The name Brenchley can be traced back to the Vikings, calling it "Braenca's Lea" (the field belonging to Braenca). So I thought that as a viking he might like to go kill, pillage and burn in space. I think the "A" is silent.

I gave much thought to my name. I wanted a name to fit in but also to give the impression of a pirate/outlaw character. The name Zaran came to me from a Marvel Comic book i was reading in my youth . There was a so called "Zaran" an evil character master of martial arts and I always liked the sounding of his name. After I created the character I realised that the idea behind the Darkstar part may had come to me because at that time i was also playing Darkstar One. |

Been living under the approach route to Twenthe AFB (Netherlands) for a good few years. 313th Squadron was stationed there, I frequently saw their F-16's fly overhead with a big tiger painted on the tails. (It's their squadron emblem). A few years after I started piddling with Falcon 4.0 and needed a callsign/nickname. After a few days of using Mongoose, which sounded funny but didn't suit me much, Tiger313 was born (how original... not! lol). Used this nickname ever since for every game I played.

Edited by: Vaden Khale on 16/03/2009 12:34:50 I play D&D and Warhammer, and loved the elves of both fictions, especially the dark elves. First started playing warhammer with Dark Elves, and as I like the RP character background during games, my Highborn general was always named, 'Vaden Khale.' No idea where it came from, I just started typing and this is what I came up with.
Then I started playing Eve, and thought, "Hey, that name works well for sci-fi too!" So I picked Vaden Khale. I think it works.

Posted - 2009.03.16 12:57:00 -
[183]
The Amarra ironically has nothing to do with the Amarr. I was watching Love Hina ( ) at the time, and well... Amarra Su (<- on that note, I do not approve of that americanisation)
I actually do not remember clearly where the Aion came from. I think it was just an alliteration, as I don't know what rode my mind back then. After some googling, I guess it's either a misspelling of Aeon or something involving the charater Aion, but I cannot really say for sure.
Funnily enough, I ended up piloting Amarr ships anyway. I first played the game in 2003 (I think) on a free trail, and when I finally registered a real account about a year later, I couldn't remember what "That cool race with lasers" was. The race descriptions on the character creation didn't help, so I picked minmatar because I had sympathy for the "ex slaves". I stuck with them until I got to the Scythe, at which point I went "Screw these piles of duct-taped crap!" and went back to shiny golden laserboats. With which I stuck up until now.

I played Guild Wars for a year before coming over to Eve... and had a number of characters there. Fuzzy Destruction - the Mesmer, was my first character, name picked because I thought it sounded Mesmer-y. Fuzzy Lovins - the Monk, created when I got tired of looking for monks. Fuzzy Thing Killer came along a bit later. As a Ranger, he kills both things, and fuzzy things.
At some point, I had decided always to stick with a "Fuzzy" naming scheme, so people would know what to call me when referring to me, no matter which character I was on.
When I got here and stared at the character creation screen for Eve, I was in awe. It was extremely high-tech, and impressive. I needed to pick a name, but all I knew was that I wanted to be "Fuzzy" something...
I told myself "well, with a high-tech game like this, I can surely change it later." |
