Hi all, First ever thread here!
Just wanted to start a fun conversation about how you come up with your character names. Ultraviolent Fawn spawned from a Lana Del Rey album and randomly googling cute baby animals.

As a teenager I was stuck in a finished room off the attic... and to make it worse, there really were bats in my belfry! It wasn't any fun going up to bed at night with only a blanket to shelter me when they dive bombed out of the corners. Much akin to a Lady trapped in a tower. But that's not the reason for the name. My real name is Lyn, and the character isn't male. It was as simple as that to choose it!

What a fun thread. The name of my now deleted presearing character Cancer Snake was inspired by my zodiac signs. In the Western my sign is cancer in the Eastern my sign is the snake. The name of my remaining presearing character I Vaapacl I was inspired by Mace Windu's seventh form of lightsaber combat in the Star Wars EU. Just because the fighting style of Ranger Warrior reminds me of it. Btw we're in the same alliance in post if you ever want to know how I came up with my postsearing name I can tell you sometime. I still find your name funny

Emma is my RL name, so many characters have that incorporated. My older characters were all called .... Ham Rock. This came from the time that I was an 11 year old girl with parents who were scared shitless by the internet. I wasn't allowed to use my real name so I had to come up with something else. So what would an 11 year old who was mentally more boy than girl at that time call her first Guild Wars character? To this day I still don't know what Ham Rock is supposed to mean... I didn't even like ham, so it certainly didn't "rock". But it sounded tough and cool so Lord Ham Rock was born.

Well, my name is quite bad. In the late '90s, I used to play Unreal 1 (FPS game) when I was a teen, and because I liked playing with the sniper rifle, I named myself HyperShiper. This soon changed to Hyper.nl to show I am from The Netherlands. So, when I started playing Guild Wars in 2006, I was already known as Hyper.nl nd because Guild Wars did now allow a point in the name and required two words, this became Hyper Nl and this is still my name today. I considered changing it to something more personal, but decided against it as everyone knows me as "Hyper". Fun fact is that in real life, I'm quite a quiet and calm person, so everything but hyper.
For Guild Wars 2, I have a character name which fits the game a little better, there I am known as Aranimda. I still am a Human Elementalist.

I liked an alternative spelling of my first name, had to find a second word, just threw xp on it. Now everything in gw1 is ___ Xp.

Quite some of my character names are stolen. But I love to make something unique of them:
Nicholas Romanyx => A cooler variation of my own name irl: Nicolas Rooman.
Ayumi Zayisha => Zayishah is a princess in Quest for Glory 2, one of the first games I ever played.
Gravelyn Celestine => Gravelyn is Empress of Shadowscythe, Adventure Quest worlds. Celestine comes from Celestia Ludenberg, my favourite girl in the anime Dangan Ronpa.
Kano Khalomix => Kano is Kano from Mortal Kombat series, Khalomix is a play on Cor Kalom in the game Gothic I.
Shana Katsumiku => Shana is from the anime Shakugan No Shana, Katsumiku is a play on Hatsune Miku, the vocaloid.
And that's only a few of them. ^^

Crumbs, I have made many many names over the years. I love creating and naming characters. I actually wrote a little article on creating names on the old gameamp, and I even managed to find it again recently using Wayback machine! My preSear name is a pretty simple one, taxing my little grey cell less than normal, since I planned to... not sure I can bring myself to say this... *drumroll* delete her! Lya is a name I've used here and there before. I wanted a short name when I came up with it. I also incorporated it into my first GW2 character's name: another ranger hehe (Sylvari). Logan is just a name which I've always thought was cool since playing Syphon Filter: Gabe Logan There's also Logan 'Wolverine' and of course Logan Thackeray I won't talk about some of my other names, as once I get started.......
