Uhm, take your pick. /tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />

The Rock from wrestling.
Rocky Balboa from the movies.
Or Rocky from the power Rangers.

My last name is just one of my random thoughts. /rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />

I chose my name because of a few reasons.

Belle is the name of my favourite disney princess, Belle from "Beauty And The Beast". But, the name also means Beauty. I chose Rain for my last name because it means abundant gifts from above. So in the whole my name means "Beauty and Ubundant Gifts from Above".

Oh, that's a fun topic /biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />

Scarlett comes from my job... I work for a travel wholesaler and on the phone, since we never state our last names, if two people are called the same one has to pick up a fictive name or when a mistake occurs it gets confusing (ex.: 'I talked to Mary and she said the flight was 500$!') well if there's more then one Mary then it gets hard to figure which one made a mistake! So someone had my name already, and I had to change mine and I chose Scarlett /tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" /> I just think its very stylish, and plus I loved 'Gone with the Wind' /tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />

Vesper: it comes from the latest James Bond, Casino Royal; that's what his love interest is called. I just thought it was super classy and original, I loved it /tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />

Shimizu: I was just looking for a Japanese surname, and it's the cutest I found that would fit with the name /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

I chose my name becasue for one I take Latain in school and also becasue it fits me very well.
Since Dormiens means sleeping and Nunquam means never, it discribes me pretty good since it seems that I never have time to sleep. /biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />

Post by **Takius Morrighan** » Sun Jan 07, 2007 3:36 am

I don't really know what Takius means...I chose this name 'cause it's the name of a mage character from "Ragnarok The Animation"...I really like this character...and her name /biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />

I go roleplaying sometimes, and my first name is my roleplaying name. I have no idea but I like being called Sycyla better than my normal name and I really like acting as Sycyla.

My second name is just my favourite plant. I thought they both fit together nicely.

I kind of just looked up and researched different names for a while.

I think the name Kira is pretty. It has quite a few different meanings. When I chose it I picked it as a variant of the name Keera (other spellings include Kera, Keira, and Keaira). The Gaelic Kira can mean 'little dark one', 'dark', or 'black' depending on where you look. The Persian Kira means 'far sighted'. The Greek Kira means Lady. I go with the Gaelic meaning. /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

Tanith (also commonly spelled Tanit) is actually a first name, but that's okay. Tanith means "serpent lady" or "snake goddess". In a few places I've read that it was was the name of the Phoenician goddess of love, fertility, the moon and the stars or the Greek Goddess of Love, but I'm not actually sure about that and I don't know much about Mythology. I googled it a bit and some things said it is and some said it isn't, so I don't know.

Thats so cool, considering Kira is my real name /happy.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="^_^" border="0" alt="happy.gif" />
ok, how I came up with my name, first, its my roleplay characters name, I always draw her, and I got the name from The X-Files, Atreya, is the name of this undefeatable videogame lady, and Killswitch is a deadly computer program that can pin point anywhere you're at in the world and drop a huge bomb on you and you die...
so yeah /happy.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="^_^" border="0" alt="happy.gif" />

To be honest, I wasn't expecting not to be able to use any name (I usually use the same name for everything, and it's nothing like a real person's name) so in desperation I took a look at my music playlist. Camille - French singer. Olivia Ruiz - French singer. Voila!

Post by **Molly Pegg** » Sat Jan 13, 2007 3:42 am

I just always liked the name Molly and Pegg is from my friend's favorite actor...Simon Pegg.

Post by **Katherine Riddle** » Sun Jan 14, 2007 5:15 pm

Well, I've always loved the name Katherine, and a while ago I read the most wonderful HP fanfic about a character named Katherine who was Voldemort's daughter. Unlike most OC fanfics, this one wasn't a Mary Sue and had a great plot.

So I loved the character, and the name has been one of my favorites since I read about Katherine de Roet, so I chose it.

It IS my name. /sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /> I'm useless at making up new names, so that was that. xD My name is cool anyway. /cool.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="B)" border="0" alt="cool.gif" />

Post by **Izzy Hudson** » Sun Jan 14, 2007 9:02 pm

Uhm.

I stole 'Izzy' from 'Izzy Stradlin', as it was the most effeminete name of all the rockstars I revere as gods.

And 'Hudson' is the real last name of Slash.

WHAT?

IT'S NO WORSE THAN USING THE NAME HARRY MALFOY OR SOMETHING. XD

Post by **Olive Snitzberry** » Mon Jan 15, 2007 12:30 pm

Well, when I create things, I use what's around me. So, my Dad was eating olives that's where I got Olive from and there was a book that my friend had lent me which had the name Snitzberry in it and I thought it was a great name so I took it.

Post by **Clementine Stilts** » Mon Jan 22, 2007 3:27 pm

How I chose my name. Well, I guess it would start when I was talking with my brother last December (2006). We were talking about weird names in stories and I brought up Oliver Twist. I was asking, "Who would name someone that?" and then my brother said, "Well if I ever ran away I would change my name is Oliver Stilts." I totally agreed with him and so when I got to the part where I had to pick my name for HOL I thought back to that time. However, I wasn't going to name myself with a boy name. So, I thought of my favorite fruit which at the time seemed to be a clementine; hence my name Clementine Stilts!

Post by **Alleric Federoff** » Fri Jan 26, 2007 6:41 pm

My name was thought of by my friend Danielle. She had let me borrow one of her books, and the main character's name is Alleric. She thought it was a cool name, and when I decided to join HOL, I thought I'de use it. As for Federoff, my best friend in kindergarden had this last name, and it stuck.
