Norbert was one of my gaming characters. He never actually had the right to call himself "Sir Norbert", but what the heck.

Re: What's in a name?
I didn't really want this name at all The roman goddess of agriculture? Not really what I wanted, but then "Illuminaughty" was already taken, and since I was initially only planning to post just a couple of my homebrewes I figured the name wouldn't matter much.
In my campaign, Ceres is the dark god of the sea, the moon and the unnatural, but I'm really regretting it now. Too bad there is no way to change your account nameOotSP :D

Re: What's in a name?
Quirinus Obsidian is the name of my first real spellcaster; a cleric (animator)/sorcerer(blaster)Mystic Theurge. Worked relatively well for a time. He also is the last living male of his line. He has a sister (Serraniea Obsidian) that is currently on the Dread Necromancer path; following in her brothers and fathers path.
The name Quirinus is the name of an ancient Holy Roman saint that purported to be a vampire, and Obsidian is a name that I needed to think of that sounded cool. He did like volcanoes and fire....Funny, I always figured I'd be killed by a paladin.So, what you're saying is we rolled a 1 on our credit check?

Re: What's in a name?
Delaney is the wizard/archmage I made for what was supposed to be a one-shot campaign. I was like, "hmm, I miss my best friend and his penchant for playing slightly nutty NE mages". So I made a slightly nutty NE mage named Delaney (his middle name), with the last name Gale (the name of the nutty NE mage he used to introduce me to D+D in 10th grade).
Then the party from the one-shot met up with our regular party, and Delaney decided to stick with them (strength in numbers). Then I gave him a personality. Then the next thing I knew he was on my doorstep with his bags and demanding to move in with me. He's a pretty good roommate- he doesn't mind sleeping on the couch, he never leaves the toilet seat up, and he confines his burnt sacrifices to dark deities to the porch. Since he's imposing on my hospitality here, I'm returning the favor by taking on his moniker and blending our personas (see the avatar) on GiTP.Town Character: Delaney, The Thirteenth Gale

Comes from Sisquinanamook, a character who was a very small warrior "princess" of the Qanuc tribe in the Memory, Sorrow and Thorn trilogy by Tad Williams.

Re: What's in a name?
In a long and convoluted story of communal creation, a race of enormous alien dogs with telepathic links to their masters was created. It wasn't a natural thing, though: they had to be bred for the purpose and have all sorts of messing around with their brains done, and someone had to do the messing. We ended up calling those aliens Neruleans. Here's a picture of one, back from several years ago:
I use the name because I like the sound of it. I avoid the capital letter to avoid the association in my mind with that blue guy and his crazy, crazy outfit.de·fen·es·tra·tion (dē-fĕn'ĭ-strā'shən)

An act of throwing someone or something out of a window.

Re: What's in a name?
It's really nothing that interesting. It was some dinosaur name, like Parasaurolophus, I don't remember exactly. In any case, it was awfully long and probably fairly obscure.
In my defense, I had been to the natural history museum recently, so dinosaurs and small primates just happened to occur to me. Usually I cause myself a lot of strain trying to come up with names, but I decided not to bother with that for once.
Since then I've decided to roll with it. Although my current avatar has awfully short limbs, I think.

Re: What's in a name?
Hell Puppi...because I love hell hounds but I'm more of a puppified version.
The 'I' on the end came from a few things, one was my online handle used to be 'The Gun Bunni' or 'Sniper Bunni' from playing DoD. My friends got so used to this name that when I changed it to Hell Puppi I got yelled at. I decided to stick with it anyway.
Also Hell Puppi because of an awesome drawing by a woman named Gilda who drew a sexy hell hound female...and Alucard from Helling's hell hound abilities. Those things are fricken' sweet.Avatar by Shades of Gray

Re: What's in a name?
I originally chose my name for TESF (The Elder Scrolls Forum, the official one, which is now Bethesda Gaming Studio Forums), hoping it would sound Daedric-y because I was roleplaying on the forums as a Dark Seducer. Well, it stuck, and I'm never changing it. It's very unique, very recognizable, and very rememberable.

Re: What's in a name?
Well, I think I've posted this before, but FdL are my initials.
I wrote the D lowercase because visually it fits the space under the capital F.
My first name is Felipe, pleased to meet you.
(BTW it doesn't have to do with "leet" talk and their random alternating of upper and lowercase, I've been using it since my first day "online", and tell you, leet talk wasn't even around back then)

Re: What's in a name?
A while back, I was heavily into boffering, but an extremely regulated form of boffering, but the name escapes me at the moment.
Anyway, I had this knack for picking only two daggers in giant melees and stabbing many backs repeatedly when people were engaged with others, earning me the nickname "Ranis the Crazy Ninja." Crazy I guess because I'd often get myself killed getting a double-kill. Teehee.
I have no idea where Ranis came from, but I use it for everything now.Druid-Ninjatar by the sensuous Serpentine.

Re: What's in a name?
I made this name because it has alot to do with peace, and I'm all for that, (Except in video games =P), namaste in original indian means "I bow to the god within you", usually used as a peaceful greeting.

Re: What's in a name?
Okay, this one's easy.
Em is short for my real first name, Emily.
Really it's sort of a nickname that my brothers started calling me when I was younger, and it sort of stuck.
Blackleaf is just the last name thing that my brother has on these forums, Krimm Blackleaf.
Also, I made the account at two in the morning and I wanted to make something up quick."Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other."

Re: What's in a name?
Well, some time ago I declared myself a demigod and younger brother to Eris, known to the Romans as Discordia. I figured "Jimmy" was a good "little brother" name.

Re: What's in a name?
Maerdred came about about a year ago when my former name of choice was already used when I tried creating a character in World of Warcraft. Maerdred is as close to Mordred that I could get. Mordred being a name I had only seen in Stephen King's Dark Tower series previously, and I thought, a cool name to stand on it's own.
Now, I looked up the name after I chose it and found that Mordred was from Arthurian Legend, and Mr. King's Mordred was basically the same as Arthur's Mordred, so I'm not the only person who's stolen the name... Though I changed the spelling.
In my mind, Maerdred has taken on many different forms, none of which seem to be in fittnig with his Namesake, who - as legend has it - was the traitorous, bastard son of our Hero. Maerdred's most prominent form is of course that of my WoW character, a Druid healer (distancing himself from his namesake's traitorous ways, no doubt).
I haven't fully written him a backstory, but I will get to it some day.
