Character names

[Claquesous]

I know where most people got their names, but I figured I'd start a thread for those I don't know. Where did everyone get their name?

Most people know mine are from Les Miserables
.

[ziquan]

uh ok.

ziquan is a name i use in almost everything. i just grabbed it outta the air, after i decided i wanted to use z and q since theyre not used much.

for string, i just looked around my room and i saw this book im reading on string theory. then i thought the name was hilarious so i used it. Afterwards i justified it by saying shes a mithra, so shes limber and agile like a string, right?

[Tehya]

Well,

Tehya means "precious" in Native American. My fathers side of the family has Native American in it, and you all know Tec is a historybuff. o.O I just wanted a shorter, cutier name for my mule "Tehya", compare too Sac's name!

[Piraya]

Mine is a species of Piranha. I used to keep a lot of piranha. I had about 4-5 tanks up and running all with Piranha in them up. Piraya are very rare in the U.S. and very expensive to get ahold of one.

[Sithered]

I spent a night with my best friend Samuel Adams, he told me to use this name

[Aelfwise]

Aelfwise: A British mariner that (in J.R.R. Tolkien's writings) sailed to the Undying Lands. He was the one who compiled the history of Arda (Earth) from listening to the Elves tales so that we would know about the interaction of Elves, Dwarves, Humans, and numerous other mystic creatures.

Gothmog: The Lord of the Balrogs in J.R.R. Tolkien's post-humous publication The Simirilian. Also named Morgoth's son.

Namarie: Means "Farewell" in Elvish. I thought it was a fitting name for a character that if i decided to really concentrate on levelling her would become a Thief/Ninja hybrid.

Olwe: Kindred of the Royal House of High Elves in Middleearth. He eventually became king, though for a short while. Was said to have been a great warrior.

and now you know the rest of the story...

[Sephiros]

I used the random name generator and got this? lol... Kinda sounded cool too part Sephiroth, part greek -iros

[Gentlebob]

Gentle Bob was originally a character I had on City Of Heroes...I found it amusing to name an 8 foot tall 600 lb man who smokes a cigar and wields a mace Gentle Bob; his City Of Villains counterpart was, of course, Not-So-Gentle Bob lol

[Estarie]

Well mine is going to need a little explanation, lol

Estarie - came from misspelling the name and my not saying the damn thing right it's a mix of Istari- the Elvin's Favorit star, also the gift given to Frodo in J.R.R. Tolkins Lord of the rings ... some how that got mixed with Elessar The name given to Aragorn in Lothien. so when to mix the two you get Estarie
