    Tal from Tal Rasha in Diablo 2, and my RL name is Paul so I like it to be short and sweet, but seeing as it's always taken in the games I play I use Tamandul, Talaria (If a chick toon).

    Been using the name Sokeid lately cause of a anticlimactic story in real life that I won't waste your times with lol.

    My real name is Logan so Syrus has nothing to do with my real life name. I really dont know how I got it but it was the name I always used back when I played Baldur's Gate and Diablo. Shelved it for WoW, then decided to bring it back in Aion

    Mine just came outta the top of my head lol. I was staring at my screen for a long time thinking of a name. I started to say weird stuff out loud until i put mik and roy together so i spelt it Mikroi.....later i found out its a japanese name and meaning but I forgot what it exactly meant.
     
  6. Well... "Kinan" is a name I've been using since I was around 13. Ten years... Long time. Anyway, my name's origin story is a little silly. Back then my parents got a new car, a Kia. Then came a rabbit which my sister named Kian. I simply stuck an extra 'n' in there not too long after and it just... well, stuck. Funnily enough, a few years later I decided to google it to see if it meant anything. Turns out it's ancient Mayan - as in the crazy people in central america that sacrificed people to their gods and the same people predicting the end of the world in 2012 - for "the Solar Force" which in their context meant "life force." Which, personally think is pretty cool.

    Eldari however has a simpler origin. I thought Kinan was more like a first name and decided to add a last name. Incidentally, I was playing the Eldar race of Warhammer 40.000 at the time and simply took that as a name. I believe it's also Tolkien elvish for "star people" or what (as far as I know) the elves call themselves. This I didn't find out until after I started using it though. Anyway, so I first made it Kinan Eldar, which I thought missed something, as in it didn't roll off the tongue. So I added the 'i'.

    and thus, Kinan Eldari was created.
