Where in the heck
did you get your wizard/mortal name?
Well Drake I got from a Anne McCaffrey novel, he's a side character, semi-regular in one of her books but really a minor character.
And well, Abharsair promoted me at short notice and I couldn't think of anything else.
Then I was happy, cause I thought of Drake the Snake.

Well, where Pennywise comes from is common knowledge, my in game character names I invented myself or at least I think I do, maybe I just dig them up from deep within my brain while I heared them elsewhere before. And although I have a really bad feeling finding a new name for a new char every time I am pretty proud of a few of my inventions.
Calarandir is my favourite.

I started using Valder as my default fantasy alter ego around the age of 12, after first reading The Misenchanted Sword by Lawrence Watt-Evans, who also wrote the Obsidian Chronicles (which I believe are fairly popular in Germany?).
Valder in the book is a scout, a soldier, an assassin, and finally an immortal innkeeper. Valder in Kentucky, U.S.A. is the leader of Rochdôr, a chapter of the medieval foam combat group, Belegarth. Valder in Geas is a thrice-enbalmed errand boy with a penchant for straying off the beaten path.

I just make mine up out of thin air. One of them came from a story I wanted to write as a teenager but never got around to doing. I think I thought up Kortha while I was in the shower, heh. I'm always very picky about my names...they have to fit the personality of my char in some way I can't really explain, so usually the concept comes before the name.

hmm... let me think.
allalltar cames from alatar who is one of the five istari from J. R. R. Tolkiens Lord Of The Rings, to be more precise from the stories before the happenings of The lord of the rings and the hobbit. The book was called the Silmarillion (keep spelling errors if you find them). Well the change from alatar to allalltar is easy ... just give it 3 'l' letters more... (i hadn't the book at hand as i created him... )

Well, seeing as my char has three illustrious names to choose from, I think I'll detail all of them. The first is Josephus, after the famous Jewish/Roman historian. Maltro is from the Esperanto adverb which means 'too little' or 'not enough' (perfect name for a halfling, in other words). Pigdoggerel is the mingling of two words, the old German curse 'pigdog' and the word for broken rhyme, 'doggerel'. I thought it was witty, myself.
I wonder what this button does...

Names? What names?
To begin with, my first mortal name was the name of a group I was the leader of, also the second book of Moses in Latin. As I was promoted, I simply came up with Genesis, being the first book of Moses.
My current main alias in the internet is a 1) Roman (or was it Greek?) god, 2) A common fantasy name and 3) A biblical working companion of St. Paul.
My current main character's name is comes from the Olympics. The winner's crowned with this crown, at least was in the Ancient Era, I think. I derived the name originally from a Finnish woman's name.

"Shannon" was my very first character's first crush (in another mud) after "she" helped him out when he was a newbie. That romance was quickly over when he actually looked at "her" and noticed it was a guy. What a bastardly thing to pick a girl's name.

Bwahahaha. My name in GEAS... Hsparks.
I suppose I should begin with how to pronounce it since people used to always ask me. You know the truth? I really don't know. Honestly I don't. I made the character back when my thought process was none other than that of a moron. So you can imagine that wasn't ... a great choice. Either way I thought that was my login name and not my character's name... and when I joined GEAS I didn't think I was going to be addicted to it for so long.
So back the the pronounciation... Disturbingly enough... its H...Sparks. You say the H like the letter and its english. Not "hache-sparks" in spanish or something. But since almost everyone calls me Sparky it doesn't matter either way.
Now the name... yes... the name came from well... Sparks is my last name. And H is ... something, I'm not sure. It just is. So yeah, either way that's exactly where I got the name... because I was uncreative and such. I've talked with people about changing it but people don't want me to for some reason. So I've made up an IC thing if anyone asks me about it. So if you're interested just ask me.
I'm not sure why I chose the name though... its very odd. In fact I don't know where my last name came from ... considering my great grandparents who came over from Germany to America's last names were Albright... So I don't really know how it changed to sparks considering they were on my dad's side. Unless... yeah... There are alot of things about names I don't know. So one thing is sure... NEVER ASK ME TO NAME YOUR BABY.
