Why did you choose your name?

Commander Shepard is pretty self explanatory, lol.

also violates the name policy, not allowed to have titled names, hence why I made "Shepard" and not "Commander Shepard" expect a name change soon.

I made mine for various reasons... I'm somewhat cynical yet I'm a fun going person and very laid back (most of the time). As they say; There is a time and place for everything...

I was also inspired by characters like, The Joker, The jesters from Assassins Creed, Sweet Tooth and more I can't pull off the top of my head right now.

Its kind of an oxy moron but at the same time can make sense once you get to know some of the characters I mentioned and more.

So, I was watching my BF play earlier and he got a clan invite from a guy, Jefferey Burns, and it got me thinking.. why did he choose that name? Did you choose your name because of a character, something you made up, or is it your real name even? Just curious if anyone had any sort of reason as to why they chose to name their character what they did.

I chose to name my Character Kittea for example because I've always loved the name Kitty for a girl, not to mention, I'm cat crazy, so I chose Kittea because when you say it out loud, it's Kitty. Get it? Kit-tea! lol. Any reason why your name is special?

just google/wiki mine, but for the ultra short story; "ozryiel" - it means "angel of death" (or as an abbreviation of it) and has part of my name in it lol

That's pretty sweet.. I use a lot of alias and am always looking for out of the box ones... Never heard of it either.. Will def check out the wiki on it.

Just a little side note: Sometimes when I really can't think of a name or all mine are taken I'll use a thesaurus.

I like the word "nostril." I just do. I'm not one to "giggle" when other body parts are mentioned (I'm sure if I typed them, they'd be censored here, but you get the idea). The word "nostril" just gives me a chuckle for some reason, so I broke it into two names: Noss Trill. It's also possible if you just read it, and you're not paying close enough attention, it could almost sound like a "normal" character name. If you say it out loud, on the other hand... So, it's my little joke sorta thing. I've used it in a couple other MMOs.

lol.. For the Noss Trill name.. I was like nah.. I can get around that.. But nope.. you can't.. Luckily I didn't say it out loud only in my head

After finding all my beta PC names taken, I had to settle on Nalo which is Hawaiian for royal. Welsh, French, Irish, Turkish all have words that would help you make names.

On my inspiration for my list I forgot two very important characters and I'm not sure how.. I was to focused on the "jester(clown)" part of why I came up with it...

However.. two of the biggest inspirations would have to be: The Mad Hatter, from Disneys' Alice in Wonderland and Jack Nicholson in One Flew Over the Coo Coos' Nest.

I've always loved these characters.. yes.. I'm crazy.. I'm Cynical!

I'm the Cynical Jester

There are a lot of cool names here. Much creativity flows here. And thanks, Cynical Jester. I think I get it somewhat, your name I mean. I have the attitude of Eeyore, but I also am fun-loving. Eeyore is great. I have a tattoo of him on one shoulder. The other shoulder, though it's not a Winnie the Pooh character, it's still a fun character: Marvin Martian. Well, maybe HE wasn't fun-loving, but he was funny. I love so many of the names here. They're awesome. It will be cool to see them on the game. Hope to see you all out there.
