What inspired your character’s name?

[Aloy Vizsla]

Well it started with me zooming through mandalorian names. Wanted something akin to Jango but feminine, Thus Joti.

Then came her last name, which is actually a handle of sorts. "Johayc" Is the mandalorian word for "Spoken". In this context, "Speaker" ie: "One who never shuts up" lol

And at that point, a friend reminded me that JoJo's bizarre adventures is apparently a thing, And so she officially became an honorary jojo reference ;p

 

[Noel Strasza]

Noel was pulled from the air, and "Strasza" comes from the Russian word "страсть" (strast'), meaning "passion".

Cool thread concept.

 

[Jsc]

Jay was the name of a boss I once had in High School. Dude was rad as/F

 

[Eon Captsunami]

It's an anagram of Space Mountain.

 

[Gren Blidh]

Faegard is conventionally Celtic, probably more accurately spelled "Fægard" but like that's too much effort to do so I modernized it. The name itself is actually mine - if you believe in witchcraft and witch-names and the like, although I'm not nearly as protective of it as some witches are.

"Fae" is definitely Celtic, though the suffix -gard is a Germanic name element.

From ancient Germanic gardaz = "enclosure".

 

[Natasi Fortan]

Natasi Fortan - Natasi was named after Natasi Daala due to her family being staunch imperialists. Fortan was a direct response to my previous 'flagship' character, Avadreia Lacroix, having a kind of absurd, almost baroque-like name. I wanted something simple, straightforward, and easy to pronounce.

Renata Westaway - I'd heard the name Renata on a TV show whose name escapes me (Laura Dern played her) and while I wasn't a fan of the character, I liked the name. I stole the name Westaway from Outside Xtra's Luke Westaway because I love that group of channels.

Audrey Saint George - Honestly, who the hell knows

Jacquetta Janvrin - Jacquetta was the mother of Elizabeth Woodville and was said to be a witch. Janvrin was the name of one of Queen Elizabeth II's private secretaries. There's no special significance, but once I settled on Jacquetta I wanted to have 'JJ' as a nickname, and Janvrin sounds just Star Warsy enough.

Probably none of my other characters or their names are interesting enough to mention.

 

[Tristan Evore]

Tristan Evore - Tristan is such a sophisticated name and tbh, I don't remember where the Evore came from.

Cypher Rage - Young me, full of rage and I liked computers so it fit back then

Custani Valcho - HA! Don't even know why I choose that

Vala Arcoum - A testament to Arcann and Valiya

 

[Kyyrk]

Voph came from my SWTOR days. Short, no special characters, easy to type for raid teams. Had a nice ring to it so I started using it as a character name.

 

[Judah Lesan]

I found a stupid formula on the internet

First Name: The first three letters of your last name... the first two of your first name...
Last Name: The first two of your mother's maiden name... the last three of your place of birth...

JewDa LeSan

That turned into Judah Lesan for reasons...

 

[Marina DeVoe]

Hmm...let me think.
It were way back on another board. Was looking for some off-beat name for a new character and...
Hey, it were a long time ago, alright.

 

[Quv Qandor]

I think it sounds like a good Yuuzhan Vong name. But if you want to drill down, "quv" is Klingon for "he is honored," and Qandor is an adjusted spelling of "candor," meaning "open and honest," and also Superman's Bottle City of Kandor.

 

[KAR]

I like cats lol

 

[Adron Malvern]

Adron is something I kind of derived from Adon which means fire in Gaelic. Adon sounded a little too plain so i threw the r in there to spice it up.

Darth Malphas is actually a very fun one I came up with. The demon Malphas would appear as a raven (I often speak to Adron's Raven black hair to kind of meet that bridge a bit). Malphas was the right hand of Satan as Darth Malphas is one of the hands to Darth Metus . There were a few other things I played off of but I first heard of Malphas in a favorite novel of mine, Dark-Hunters and while the character in that book is absolutely nothing like Adron, the research I did after reading the book stuck with me and made choosing his Sith title very easy.

 

[Kreslin Westwind]

I got mine from The Saga of Recluse books and then horribly misspelled the name because I had only been hearing it in an audiobook form.

 

[Samatharis]

Deja Thoris - A Princess of Mars

 

[Shora the Shameless]

I actually first decided on the epithet "The Shameless". It is a unique and eye-catching epithet that would suit a shamed Yuuzhan Vong character. For the name, I decided to look at words in black speech for inspiration due to the playby that I have chosen. Despite his barbaric appearance, I wanted a softer sounding name that would flow well with his epithet. However, black speech is filled with "urz" and "ogs" and "raks" and harsh syllables. Finally I discovered "shora" which is a black speech word for paleness. Seems to fit pretty well.

 

[Joesph Leigh]

Joesph was just a random name I came up with. As for the Leigh part, it comes from the character Marshal Leigh Johnson, who's from the video game Red Dead Redemption. He's one of the coolest characters in the game.

 

[Elias Burgendy]

+ Australis​

THAT'S GOTTA BE, THATS GOTTA BE...

 

[Barbie Barnabas]

What else but catch the movie Barbarella..Queen of the Galaxy.
How and why no one had snatched this little gem before, is my gain for sure.

 

[Sylvia Alvaro]

Sylvia is the name of a very close friend of my family.

Alvaro was a name a random generator thought up. >_>
