[McOwned]

I named my PM "Guilty Spark"

I know its a terribly corny name...but I just couldn't resist. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

[Ffuzzy-Logik]

My main character is named after a keyboard. That's right, a keyboard.

[Auronp]

Aurongrimm Night: Auron from FFX; Arrngrimm from Valkrye Profile; Night which is what i name all my characters

[Anaki]

I used to name myself Nanaki from FFVII's Red XIII but later dropped the 'N' becuase I couldn't come up with other names for my other characters, and Anaki stayed as my main. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

[Paperluigi]

I use this name for everything, from games to internet forums. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

[Natrokos]

Natrokos is a play on Patroclus....(Mythology) Most of my other characters are just made up words that I thought sounded cool.

[Trey_Winters]

Trey Winters (Human Hunter): I just planned on having a guy wearing all grayish-white with ice weapons, and figured I'd make a name to match.

Smoke (CAST Hunter): Named after the android assassin from Mortal Kombat.

Mezaros (Newman Force): I took this name from the last name of a hockey player, which I've done for one character in every game I've played.

Jessie Winters (Beast Hunter): Well...my cat's name is Jessie, and she's basically just an extra bank for Trey at the moment, so why not use his last name as well.

Yeah, I know, I'm unoriginal...

[Mystil]

Silhouette was taking from the PSX game Silhouette Mirage. Za'leshea is my own idea.

We played together the other night. XD

I just kinda... Take them from places randomly.

I took Sev from of course, my favorite number. I didn't like just calling him Seven, so it went to Sevyn, and since no one ever used anything short of Sev, it stuck. Sev Voz.

Chai Rai from my FFXI Taru, Chiri. Just kinda extended it to my own liking.

Dima Viole, just kinda made it up on the spot because at the time, my Cast had Violet hair. I wasn't gonna use her, but I have a soft spot for Droids apparently. XD

[bunnysama]

I just make the character and stare at it until something pops into my head, usuall in theme with what I want to do with my charact.

The orignal Bushi (my hucast) came about from me playing with the character creater in PSO, the samurai helmut just struct me as cool so I took it and named him the japanese word for soilder.

My Ramar is named Doc after Doc Holiday, I wanted something cowboy sounding with out being obvious.

[Getintothegame]

Heh, every name I see online seems Shakesperian-ish. It's actually really cool, a lot of them are unique.

Haven't seen ONE Cloud or Sepiroth!

[atomisk]

Rafter: after tennis great patrick rafter
rosewall: after another tennis player ken rosewall

if you couldnt tell I really like tennis

[Zuljin]

Been using the same name since DC Dreamcast - Mad Hatter (HUcast and now in PSU a Hunter). If you don't know where I got that name, you need to go back to school.

[AlphaMinotaux]

Alpha: sounded cool and it just stuck, been my online name for about 7 years...

[entropyboy]

Odalisque
it is a painting by Ingres that i learned about in art history. i love the painting and just started naming female characters after it.
link to painting: http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=odalisque+ingres&btnG=Search+Images

i love the meaning of it also >.> : http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/odalisque

[Sinue_v2]

Neika A combination of the names Nei and Rika, the two main Numan girls of Phantasy Star. She's follows them in looks, and in combat - she is a a HU/FO.

Arisa Named after Alis Landale, though she is effectively Mana 2.0, since she is a FO/RA Though she still has green hair.

Pana Named after Gryz's little sister from PSIV. She's a beast RA/HU though.

The Purple Nurple I haven't quite made him yet, since he's the last slot available and I'm not sure I want to use it on a joke character. He's going to be human, huge, and completely purple. I just thought the name was hilarious.

[agenevil]

My character, LELAND - Ever played Condemned: Criminal Origins? Serial Killer X's real name is... well, now you know. (SKX is my boy, don't even look at him! D:<)

[Oyako]

Nagis (I have no idea.... I think it was randomly generated from WoW and it sort of stuck)
Shin (Old child hood name I liked when I first started studying Japanese and it's my main from PSO)
Oyako (^__^ I like Chicken and Eggs)

My PM's name is A.B.A ........ Guilty Gear Isuka+ ^__^

[Pellaz]

Pellaz- named after one of the Hero/Heroine (Don't ask) of the Wraththu book series

[Xanto]

Xanto - taken from a Japanese name site

[Zorafim]

Levia: Shortened from the word "Leviathan", which is a sea monster. I only give female characters this name, and try to make them water elemental.

[February]

February is named after Tommy february6

[Fr00]

When PSO came out, my original character on a friend's memory card was "X" (yes, very creative), a RAmar. When I got the game, I looked at RAcasts and liked them better. I was feeling very creative (not) and named my character "???" for want of a better name. The name stuck, and I started to like it more, so I just kept it and used it again in PSU, basically just remaking my old character, only with better graphics and a better design.

[McLaughlin]

Tylor - My name. Usually, this is what you'll see me as, as I rarely use a second character.

Rorik (or Rorrick) - I just like the name. Saw it in a cartoon once. This would be a second character's name.

Murdock - I just like this one too. I hardly ever have 2 characters, let alone 3, so this one almost never gets used. I think I saw it in a Gorrillaz music video.

[FenixStryk]

Used this name for over a decade. I forgot how I got it, though.

[Flunky]

NA-403: a robo-version of my identity to fit my robo-version alter ego.

My initials are SNA, so take the NA. My birthdate is 04/03/86, so take the 403. Add a dash, and it's NA-403! I have the initials stand for something else in the actual character, but I like the relation.

Neumann Volberg: The creator of NA-403, among others in the NA series. Neumann's my middle name, and Volberg is similar to the name Voralberg, the last name of a rather eccentric character from a game I watched my brother play (Syberia 1&2). The character, Hans Voralberg, is a sort of inventor of clockwork devices ranging from people to rocketships, so the similarity with the maker of a series of casts works to some degree.

[Trinacepti]

I try to use ones I made up.
Kyria for example is a character in a story I have.
I'm trying to think of one for when I make a Human character.

[PooChunks]

Besides my PSO guy(PooChunks...real mature I know)all of my characters are based off of those from a series of novels I hope to get published.

Baulder(pronounced the same as Balder, the Norse God)
Ducarde
Alastor
Corneus
And so on...

[Kindaichi]

Kindaichi comes from a anime i used to read and i shorten it to Kin in most games. I also named my pm "Aura" from the character in the .//hack series.

[Seraphimon]

I theme my characters of random things.always a diffrent theme for each game i played based on anime,games and toons. this time around i decided to go Digimon styles. pretty much Angemon evolutions.Seraphimon,HolyLordAngemon,Civer-Angemon,AngeWomon.

[HiKeRI]

Engetsu as in "Crescent Moon" gaven name by the Moonlit Council leader Mikadzuki, Kingdom of Tsuki.

[jimmer411]

Alys... I loved her in PS4, and have always loved the name alise, so its kinda stuck with me since PSO DC (offline only) as well as GC online , both I was HUnewearl. and FFXI where I was a mithra 75 BRD and 75 NIN among other jobs, on the Titan server.

here i am again, Alys, Newman Female Hunter. I decided to just take the name, instead of trying to make my character look like Alys from ps4

[Rattetsu]

I get my names from ff character and gods.

Rattetsu: Demon of the underworld.

Tobosaku: God of immortality, also known as "the evil guy".

Cloud: bad ass motha from ff7 (when I can get the name, hard beating the japanese tho XD)

[Yoruichi201]

Yoruichi - Bleach anime/manga (^_^)
Karin - Chibi Vampire

[Cerulean]

Maia is a figure from Greek mythology (and also the name of a star). I really like the way that name 'looks' and it sounds just like 'Maya' which is a cool name, too.

Cerulea is a play on cerulean which basically means 'really blue' (like my character's eyes).

[Nayte]

I just use variations of my real name/nickname e.g. Nay + Nate = Nayte
Then for other names i just use ones that rhyme with Nayte or have a similar "ay" sound to it. Nothing special really.

[Polenicus]

My main is named 'Hirilonde', same name as my Paladin on FFXI.

Hirilonde is from Tolkein, and means 'Havenfinder'. It was the name of the third and greatest ship built by Anardil ( Later Tar-Aldarion.) of Númenor in the Second Age of Middle Earth.

Aldarion became king in 883 and departed for Middle-earth the same year or the year after in Hirilondë and on the prow he set the image of an eagle with golden beak and jeweled eyes which was a gift of Cirdan. There was thus no Bough of Return on Hirilondë and Aldarion said " This sign shall lead us to our aim, for our return let the Valar care - if our deeds do not displease them"

... Wow, this post has so much concentrated geek in it I've developed an urge to go do calculus.

[DragonFang]

I've seen a Cloud..

I like to make my names unique. I just try and come up with uniqe names. I named my Human Xenon and my Beast Vandal.

[RadiantLegend]

LegendAim - Aim is the last, first and middle initials of my name. Legend was tagged on to make it sound even better.
Every character is some form of aim.

[Angelraziel]

Cast: Angel (hunter)

[Sexy_Raine]

<font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: Sexy_Raine on 2006-11-02 08:01 ]</font>

[ThatOneGuy]

I usually name my characters ancient Roman or Greek Names. For example, my character Agrippa means "Land Grabber" in Latin.

[Cerulean]

Agrippa is a great name.

[Thrash777]

I'm not making a character after someone else or from something else... I like my characters to have their own identity...

I like messing around with Japanese translations and syllables to make cool names...

I will put my character names in my sig when I create them, but I have names for each of them already, with each of theirs names meaning something relative.

[Akaimizu]

Most of my character names I make up myself. If I want to associate a nationality with it, then I borrow an appropriate naming convention to craft it.

Tynselle Nbareh was crafted by me in two parts.
Tynselle <-- thought it was cute and at the same time, like a stage name. It also, on purpose, sounds a lot like that reflective stringy stuff you see at Christmas and on Christmas trees.

Nbareh was a word I formed that had a rhythm and could be easily spoken. The lack of vowels between N and b are done to show off the African roots as quite a few naming systems in parts of Africa forgo the use of vowels when they are implied between the constanants. It did it for the first syllable only because that's all I needed to have the reader interpret that indication.

[Shiro_Ryuu]

Shiro Ryuu (male human hunter) - original name and pretty much my internet alias
Sayuri (female newman ranger) - Japanese name
Tai Yin (male beast hunter) - Chinese name
and I need a name for my future male cast force. I'm thinking of doing the same thing as in Guilty Gear naming him after a metal band, maybe Naglfar, Arcturus, Sonata(as in Sonata Artcica), Lacuna(as in Lacuna Coil), or Kalmah.

[Eli_Leviathan]

I thought this would be a good place for my first post...

Eliphis Leviathan: named after Eliphas Levi http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abb%C3%A9_Constant
and ofcourse Leviathan the beast of the sea
YuuWataru: A combonation of 2 manga ka's names.

AYUMI (female Newman) Been using this name for my main characters for a long time. This is how I got my nickname "AYU". Forget where I got the name.

KAGARI (Female Cast) Shrine maiden from Shinobi

REINA (Female Human) From Deception III

TYRIS (Female Beast) Tyris Flare from Golden Axe

Oh, and the reason I write all the names in upper case is because that's how I got a WHITILL Section ID with the name AYUMI back on PSO DC so it has turned into a habit.

Torruga = just sounded like a cool name for a cast
Zelpher = a name I use a lot for RPG game characters. I originally got it from Star Ocean: Till the End of Time, cos it's Nel's last name. I thought it sounded cool, so I used it.

[Kaydin]

Kadan - There was a guy in one of my classes named Kaiden back when Blue Burst started. I didn't know him, but thought his name was awesome. I put the name into a section id calculator and messed with it until I got Purplenum, and the name came out as Kadan. Was a FOmar in PSOBB, but Newman now. I hated FOnewms.

Mathyu - Mathyu was my only character back on the GC. Started with the name Matthew and adapted it to get Skyly as an id. The name was altered on PSOBB due to the change in section id forumla, becoming Mathyew (Viridia). Mathyu would have been Oran. He's allways been a HUmar, but he's a beast now.

(Future Character) Eryn - A friend of mine's younger sister is named Erin. I stole the name and spelled it cooler. No section id worries this time, since PSU doesn't have them.
