Re: What Is In A Name?

The story behind my name is fairly straightforward and uninteresting :p

I haven't roleplayed in years, and didn't really have any character name to choose from, so I went with the last names of two of my grandparents, and stuck them together :) Voila! Connor Gage was born.

Hello everyone!

Probably like for most of us, my process of nickname selection was pretty dull :D . I am somewhat fascinated by Bellatrix Lestrange's character, however, I did not want to go with her actual name (nor was I allowed to anyway). So, I decide to go for Beatrix as a good substitute for her first name. Moonlight is just one of my favorite words in the English language so I figured why not make it my last name. :wub:

Post by Septima Lestrange »

I actually looked at a name generator trying to come up with mine. “Septima” was a name that came up and that just sort of called to me. I played with a few others but Septima really felt like it suited me. Lestrange because that family lineage is the one that’s always been the most fascinating to me.

I’m a cosplay model and I normally cosplay known characters, my favorite cosplays have been of my personal OCs. I brought the character of Septima Lestrange to life with an entire backstory of darker things calling to me as my family history may dictate but breaking free from it to follow my own path.

When I discovered HOL, about 2 years after that photoshoot, I knew I had to keep the name.

So Jessica is my first real name and I'm a Marvel fan so I took James Barnes last name and used that. That is how I came up with Jessica Barnes. I was going to do Rogers but Jessica Rogers was taken already.

I chose to put my name as Luna Mae Moon because Luna Lovegood is my favourite Harry Potter character, my middle name is Mae and I love space and the moon so I chose Moon as my last name ❤️

I chose my name by taking my real name and playing with the sounds :)

My first name is V-Ann aka Annie

I wanted something I could remember well since I am on lots of pages that I visit daily and didn't want to forget it.

Well, the story behind my name is pretty boring.

In real life, Cailyn is my second name. So, since I didn't want to use my real name, I decided to use Cailyn. As for Woodenvale, I just used google. I looked up something similar to "magical names" or something like that, picked a site and just went with it!

And now here we are, Cailyn Woodenvale it is :)

Post by Silvana Mandeville »

Hello, everyone. My name is Silvana Mandeville, I chose this name for my HOL name because I love it and have used it for a long time since I created my character to do roleplaying years ago. I chose Silvana because the last syllable is the same as my real name and the name reminds me of a character from drama. As for Mandeville, I looked for French Surnames on the internet for Silvana and found it. Silvana and Mandeville are very well matched. And since that day, I have used this name everywhere in the virtual world.

Post by Kaissa Chessley »

Kaissa is the name of a fictional chess goddess, and I am obsessed with that game so I picked it. I changed the spelling of the original Caissa because my first name starts with a K. My last name... oh well, I'm sure you guys can figure it out :)

Post by Willow Carter »

Why Willow Carter?

I wanted a name that was simple yet unique. Willow came to my head when Taylor Swift released her single 'willow'. It's a beautiful song and I the word itself I found catchy. Also I thought it linked the three greatest loves of my life, Taylor Swift, Harry Potter (the whomping willow) and Nature.
I later found out that the word 'willow' is associated with Moon Magic, which is mesemerizing. And it made me love the name even more.

I thought with the first initial 'W', my last name should start with 'C'. I just couldn't imgine anything else. And the name Carter just popped into my mind. I don't know why but I'm guessing it was because of two amazing fictional charaacters; Peggy Carter (mcu) and Carter Black (Night School).

I chose my name because, Cole is a nickname my grandfather gave me, short for Nicole. And Thronheart I got when I was coming up with names for my Draco Malfoy Fan-Fiction. So I decided to just use that as my HOL surname.

I chose Aura because I am interested in auras and think that it's a pretty name. Nightmoon is part of my online gamer tag, and I am obsessed with the moon and the night sky.

So ... why Reyyan Azkendra?

It's quite hard to explain, but I'll try to explain it ^^
So, actually Reyyan is a pun from riyan (the name I use for roleplayer at somewhere). At first I wanted to use the name Riyan as the first name, but somehow it was not approved so I changed it a little. For Azkendra ... It's also a pun from Azkaban (this randomly crossed on my mind) :lol:

And... Here I am, Reyyan Azkendra. A 2nd year student who trapped by Silvana Mandeville's persuasion :D

I watched a TV show one time called "Mighty Med", it was quite good and one of my favorite characters on that is named Skylar. So I chose that to be my name on here. I chose my last name to be Peyton because that is my real first name.

Well to be fair, the Louis is a translation of my real name Ludwik.

Walles used to be my stage image back when I was 16. It is pronounced Wallace. Walles is actually just that surname but spelled wrong and the spelling caught my attention and liking.
