Re: What's in a name?
Umm, because my very first magic item that I got from my very first TRPG was a bag of holding? I sold it.
Hey, what's the use of a bag of holding to a 1st-level druid?

Re: What's in a name?
I always belived it was Zephyr, not Zephyer. Ah well.
The name I go by:
Exachix - Shortened version of:
Exachix Prolari Zephyr (Or Exachix Polari NorZilliar in Town)
Exachix is just a name I made up.
Polari is derived from Polaris, The Pole Star. (Guiding Star)
Zephyr is, as Zephra said, the god of the east wind.Last edited by Exachix; 2007-04-11 at 04:52 AM.

Re: What's in a name?
Random alliteration from a Halo 2 game, I needed a name and everyone else was ready to play.

To read a text that "Methodical Meat" has writ
Is no easy feat, but it shall be well worth it
For the flames of his spectacled genius
Delve deep into you and many neurons it hews
And asunder them rends
And once more mends
Methodically he arrays them again
His readers' brains,
From meaty stains
New seeming, and better than before
He leaves his readers better than before!

Re: What's in a name?
Really random elven name. Well, half-elven. I wanted to create a sword-fighting half-elven mage. Back in the last days of 2nd Edition. I named him Khantalasa.
Later, I got my hands on BG 2, and without thinking about the earlier character, I named my half-elven fighter-wizard Khantalas.
Used it ever since.

Re: What's in a name?
Mine was a user-name on a few online games, to pronounce to others what my class and level would be, if real life used D&D classes. I hoped that it would cause others I met or chatted with to start up a D&D conversation with me. It attracted a few people and started up some nice conversations about gaming and our current or past campaigns. I liked it and kinda have stuck with it over the years.

Re: What's in a name?
Adaptation from the futuristic cyberpunk Anarki in Quake III. I have always approved of anarchy in a vaguely hopeful sort of way, and was looking for a spelling of it that hadn't been taken, so I just went for one with lots of repeated letters.
It looks kinda nasty, and is horribly mangled into infinite permutations, but I like it. I've considered abbreviating it to Anarki, though.Good grammar is hot.

Re: What's in a name?
Hazkali is dwarvish for "Young Warrior", taken from here. I used to be a big Games-Workshop fan, before their prices went crazy and they shut down their message boards. Their boards were the first I ever joined, and I've taken the name ever since.

Re: What's in a name?
The letter chet in the Hebrew alphabet is written in English as Ch, H, or very rarely Kh, and is the first sound in Hannukkah (or Chanuka or Khanukka). There's a symbol called the Chai (or Khay or Khai or Hai) that means 'Life' and is very similar in Hebrew to the symbol for G-d, therefore it is a Jewish religious symbol that celebrates not merely reverence for faith but also for joy and life. The Ankh was initially an ancient Egyptian symbol for life that was later adopted by several Pagan groups as a religious symbol. I am fascinated by the parallels in Paganism and Judaism, and I've also realized that the symbols can be interlocked. (Align the lowermost point on the Ankh with the lower right corner of the Chai - they fit together.)
Ergo, I am Khayankh. The Chai and Ankh stuck together are the best visual representation of my personal views on religion that I've found so far.

Re: What's in a name?
I was seriously burned in a car accident, was basically fried alive by over 14K volts of electricity and then burned by a gas fire, thus I am extra crispy. Well done just does not sound the same.
Got the name one day while agrivating a friend who was talking about someone else with the same first name as me. Well he got agrivated enough and to tell the difference between us he yelled "Fine, he is original recipe and you are extra crispy" I laughed so hard I cried, so did everyone else. Lots of people either think I am wierd, or think that was mean to call me that but I found it funny and have used it many times since

This is the name I made for an original character back in the early days of college, conveniently "borrowed" from Chronicles of Narnia.

Re: What's in a name?
Truenuff is one of my favorite Webcomics (along with OotS) and my friends decided that I was most like Trey, one of the characters.
Incidentally, I just realized that my name wasnt JollyGreenGiant after the boards switched. Granted, I only started posting again a few days ago.Last edited by TruenuffTrey; 2007-07-22 at 10:56 AM.

Re: What's in a name?
Siwenna was the first D&D character I played. She was a druid mage and pretty awesome. She was a druid/mage and was up to levels 3/8 when half the party was killed. The DM moved away shortly thereafter and the rest of the group fell apart. Siwenna is a random planet in Asimov's Foundation series, which is where I got the name originally.

Re: What's in a name?
A couple years back whenever my family would need to light anything on fire I was the one who always wanted to. Thus my brother called me "such a pyro" alot and I thought it was funny and have use it for screen names since.
