Naomi is just a fun name to say. I don't know why. . .it seems so simple, but i love it! and I got Tonks from the HP books, because Tonks is my fave character!
"Ma, I gotta tell ya that without a doubt I get my best dancing lessons from you. You're the one who taught me how to twist and shout because you shout nonstop and you're so twisted, too! Woh-oh-oh-oh!" ~Penny Pingleton from the hit musical Hairspray.
Luv to all,
Naomi Tonks

Well, for me, seeing as I'm obsessed with Alias, I chose Sydney. The surname, Brunestow, is a combination of Bristow, aka Sydney Bristow /biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> and my friend's dog's name Bruno. Lol!

I'm afraid there is no deep meaning behind my name! I went through several baby name sites and found a first name I liked. Then I looked for a last name that would go well with it.
Although, Evans is the last name of two of the characters on Roswell (my favorite show!), so perhaps that was subconscious. Hmmm.

I love Disney, and I've always liked Belle in Beauty and the Beast, cause she was more down to earth than most of the Disney females. Vespera was actually from the latin word 'vesper' which means 'evening star'. I added an 'a' to make it look more like a name, and 'vespera' means 'evening prayer'. I didn't know that until I did a search on the word right now /tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />

My name came about because I found "Tiamat" in a book, and she was the legendary Queen of the Dragons, when dragons ruled the earth before people came to be. "Buchanan" is the Scottish clan I'm related to (although it's not my real last name). Plus, I hosted a Yahoo! Herbology class for a couple years as Prof. Tiamat Buchanan, which was lots of fun. So I figured I'd keep it!
I even had a whole character worked out, with what she looked like, special things she could do, stuff like that.

Wow, I feel kind of weird, my name isn't some sort of special thing out of a book. Well i guess when i think about it, its special to me because Tyler was my aunts name until she passed away but it also happens to be my actual name.
Tye
Just in case anyone hasn't noticed I use my nickname Tye all the time, so anyone can call me that.

When we were little we were told to color inside the lines but if we live that way, then whats the point of living?

I chose my name from books.It's kind of intriguing,how writers come up with names.I wasn't eager to imagine up a name,for it may sound bad,and I would probably get tired of it.So I chose "Phoenicia" and "Mellyn".At first I wanted to choose "Mellyn Phoenicia" but that would be ridiculous.So here I am,Phoenicia Mellyn.I'd like to hear more on names (not real names,but HOL names),I find it so interesting.. /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

Well, in fourth grade my friends and I were coming up with nicknames for a 'club' or something (I was a weird fourth grader...) and I came up with 'Azana'. The name actually stuck, and so now I use the nickname for practically everything on the internet!
The 'Moon' part came from a neopets username I have (and my email), which is azana_moon. Having the same username for everything makes it so much easier to remember...

David is my real name and it is a name of great jewish king. /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> It sounds good.
Ravenfeather has two reasons. One of them is my relationship to Ravenclaw House. Second one is name by person from book "Mammoth Hunters" by Eduard Storch (czech author). Ravenfeather was a smart prehistorian boy who always knew what to do.

My name is a combination of things.
I first started using the name Aphrael online far too many years ago (back in the days of Telnet), it's taken from the David Edddings novels. Over time it got contracted to Aphy and stuck.
Snape - obvious one, he's my favourite character and appeals to my Slyth side.
Put the two together and you have Aphy Snape, who now has a complete bio away from HOL.
