Waters of Lethe from a mythology course I took. It's been a RPG name for many games I played.

Mine was spur of the moment weeaboo randomness that to my knowledge means nothing, BUT have been told when read in Vietnamese it comes oddly close to something like "pee on you."

My name is a conglomeration of the various European spellings of Roland, the famed medieval knight, from the Carolingian cycle (think the King Arthur stories, but cooler and less well known). My other dual box character was named Maugris, a mage/knight from the same cycle.

Oh ya not trying to say we shouldn't like our screennames even if they come from questionable origins. We grow quite attached to them. Daus is actually the name I like better than my most recognized ones 8x

It is indeed my job to spread cool names around kujata. TYvm

I've seen Hrolandus run around before, I have no idea if I pronounce it correctly but it is indeed fun to say.

Was stuck thinking for a name, so I flicked open the first book on top of my pile- David Gemmell, Quest for Lost Heroes, and Chareos was staring back at me. I get a little confused when I read that book now.

My favorite flower is the lily / tigerlily. I tried to be Lily, but it was taken at the time. I like the variations Lila and Delilah (ofc Delilah has a very negative connotation because of her role in the Bible story concerning Samson, which sucks because that is such a beautiful name) so I tried every variation of Lila and Lily I could come up with til I hit on Liela. Now I would never change it, Liela is just who my char is and she wouldn't be the same otherwise.

My mule, Amarantha, is named after a Nightwish song called Amaranth. The song was on the first cd that Nightwish released after replacing Tarja with Annette, Dark Passion Play. I would have tried to do a Tarja song name, too, since I like both the artists. But all her songs have titles like "Die Alive" and "I Walk Alone" so I couldn't really do a char with those titles. Amaranth is the name of a flower, or more specifically, a very pretty herb.

Edit: oh, and my xboxlive name thingyjig is Stephiroth005. My husband's xbox thing was Sephiroth, and my rl name is Stephanie, so I mushed the two together and got Stephiroth. The 005 part is just because 5 is my favorite number, the 00 in front of it is mimicking James Bond, 007.

I first got Seriin while naming the kid in one of the Harvest Moon games, starting with S and then adding letters until it was a name I liked. It is pronounced the same as Saren, from Mass Effect (SEH-rin), which was funny for me when I first played the game because the Harvest Moon thing had a good 5 years on M.E. When I first played Mass Effect I was with a friend of mine who I played FFXI with as well, so all through the beginning when Saren was up to bad things my friend would say things to me like "why are ya' being such a ***?" or "holy crap! you just shot Nihlus in the head!"

Since then I've used it for many things, like forums and my XBL gamertag.

I like these character name origin stories so far! Good thread topic ^^

When I moved to Unicorn from my previous server, someone had my name (and I think it's a mule, which makes it worse).

I was very disappointed, since my original name holds a LOT of meaning for me and is one that I use for many other things.

So after I tried a few others that I'd have liked, but which were also taken, I asked my man to run some ideas by me since it was unacceptable to me to alter the original name in any way in order to use it.

I do have one name that I've used for some things for quite a few years and which absolutely no one else has, but it's for that reason that I didn't want it for this.

Anyway, he thought of Dulcinea and I immediately agreed that it was fitting, and gave him a big kiss because he has said that in many ways I am his Dulcinea. I know what he means by that and how it relates to our history, and it's wonderful.

And yes, he IS also my knight and champion. ^^ *swoon*

Dulcinea is also an album by Toad the Wet Sprocket, on which the song called Windmills (another reference to the Don Quixote story) has meaning for us too.

Hmmm, my post is rambling, but whatever. I've been hitting the Kriek Lambic, so… ^^ *cheers, all*

Miseko- came from pressing the random button, I saw 'Mise' and added ko to make it sound better. In hind sight I wish I stuck with Mise, its a bit easier to say,or atleast it wouldn't be as butchered.

Excelse- my taaallll Elvaan male, his name is Latin for tall. Creative? yes I know..

Mine's not too original. Mine is just the Greek version of my actual name, so booya to Stefanos being born.

Snoochyboochies, my cooking mule though, well that should be easy enough to figure out. Anyone who's seen any Jay and Silent Bob movies knows Snootchie Bootchies was one of Jay's phrases. I had to alter the spelling to get it to fit.

I think all of the suuuuper popular anime/videogame/manga character names are funny so I tried to think of the most obscure character from a series I liked and picked Halciform from Slayers.

Originally i wanted the name Fire. But some Jp player already took that.

So i went with Dragon cause i collect dragons. That was taken. so i just change the g to a c and got Dracon. Few years later i found out that Dracon means Dragon. so im happy with it.

I've gotten this many times. D8 I'm actually not a little bald, autistic, french boy (or whatever the *** Caillou is), I swear. Though it is funny because that's how everyone pronounces it anyway. :B

The elf thing kind of made me sad. Is there not a latin word for HANDSOME?
