Where did your char name come from?

[Jack Sinist (•̪●)]

Mongo - Dont ask! When i joined UD i was pretty new to RP so joined Mongo because i didnt want to delete an old char. Its a decision i regret to this day! Some one told me a year or so later that it means freak in swedish!

It's a shortened version for Mongoloid in Sweden, which is an offensive word of or related to Down syndrome.
Mongoloid can also be used as an offensive word in English, so I wouldn't call it freak, seems a bit judgemental if you ask me.

[Delcarakdur]

Delcarakdur - Means something in elven that I need the Silmarillion to decipher right now. My first UO char ever too...

Dwral Nahlig - Generated using a dwarven name generator

Vincenzio - I wanted an italian name for my assassin char

Uggrek - Sounds orcish ter me

[Averion/Gambit/Crystal/Etc]

Gambit Heckle: Name of me best friend Irl is Gambit, Heckle cos it sounds awesome

Averion: Just made up to sound sorta orcish sorta human

Delfonso: Sounds very noble

Tango: This character was originally for PvP but I turned her into a brigand from B^F. The idea was when I killed someone I could boast by saying "You've been tango'd"

[Moraine DiGoraz]

Roight, here goes then.

My first two main characters Ryean (warrior) and Arthan (mage) were names I made up. Jana (my second warrior) was a name I liked.

Kazuo Shinrai
- Kazuo is a name for a firstborn son
- Shinrai (family name) means Honest or Trustworthy

Kasei Senshi
- Basically means "Fireborn Warrior", being a hardened samurai and all (originally bodyguard -fai'da ki- for the daimyo).

Moraine DiGoraz - another name I made up.

I despise people who cannot think up their own names and thus steal names from famous characters from novels, movies or games (like Squall, Teclis, Gandalf or Mithrandir). It's not that hard to think up your own name and if you think it is then let's face it, you won't be all that creative a roleplayer, Taking an existing name or ancient name is alot less bad but I still admire people who can think of their own names the most. Anyway, if you are gonna steal a name then at least pick a cool one, like Runar Thor.

[Tyrael]

Kyte- Was originally the name of my Halfling Thief in DnD.. (I'm such a geek)

Tyrael- The arch-angel from Diablo II
Styx- The river styx in greek and roman mythology, after you died one must cross the river styx to get into the underworld

Richard Rahl- The main character from the Sword of Truth Novels

Zeddicus- Full name is Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander the grandfather of Richard Rahl

[Kurt Alimar/Markus]

Kurt Alimar - Original character from back when I played on atlantic, anyway I didn't think originality was big back then so I named him Kurt after "ME!"  This was before I RPed and switched to Europa a year later tbh.

Markus Alimar - Just made it up.

Raziel Narlam - Took Raziel from a demons name, Narlam I just heard it somewhere.

Torgan - took from the game for an old orc char.  [Retired]

Garock - Thought it was cool strong Orc name.  [Retired]

Regnier - A demonic general of Orc and Undead from Kingdom Under Fire.

Shardak - Just thought it sounded nice and creepy.

Garret Latham - Dunno how I came up with this one.  [KIA BABY!]

Malkior - Old character on Atl stole from a guy named Malkor.

[Gregor Eason]

Gregor Eason.

Mmm. Gregor because it was just a strong, sturdy sounding name.

And Eason was the name of this really kool Corporal I had for Recruit Training with the Army. Thats right! Eason EXISTS! ;d

*searches Facebook*
