What Is In A Name?

Thu Aug 21, 2008 11:38 pm

I got my first name, "Perizada" when I was browsing a name book one day, and I thought it was a pretty neat sounding name, and I've used it for many things (including my dungeons and dragons character

). The last name Augenstein, is just a variation of my own last name - Augustine.

Hmmm... Cassie Fleming.

Well... not very hard.

Cassie I took from one of my older Roleplaying ideas.
Fleming I took from a book series called Heartland.

I'm thinking of adding a middle name though. Just don't know what to use. -thinks harder-

Hmm. Anastasia.. I'm not really sure how I came up with Anastasia, but I've always loved those pretty, kinda imposing ish names... like Elizabeth, or uhh... Anasatsia (lol) or stuff like that, you know? Maybe Cassandra even. So yeah, and the last name's just my last name. ^.^

Isabella is my real name. Russo is family last name from Sicily. It disappeared some generations ago in my family.

My name... Maewyn Silverfang is a character I made up a long time ago. The first name, Maewyn, I chose because it sounded wonderfully celtic (a culture I associate with fictional elves). Originally, she was an immortal elven druid, who would take the form of a shining white wolf (hence the surname Silverfang). She was the head of a clan of druids who called themselves the Silverfang pack. She was a quiet and wise character with serene confidence, strength of spirit, and a gentle heart, she was everything that I strived to be. Sort of a fictional idol, if you will. So I decided to see what she would become if I stripped her of her immortality and made her an eleven year old witch, with no extraordinary powers, and a residual fascination with and love of the natural world. We shall see what becomes of little Mae.

Okey. My HOL name is Ingrid Wason.

Ingrid, because thats my name.
Wason, because I think it sounds cool, and it fits with my first name.

Thats why!

Leaf A. Crane!

Leaf = I love leaves! It also covers my love for nature, elves, ivy, fern... *babbles for an hour*

A. = Initial of my middle name, of course! But I'll drop this over at the Middle Names topic

Crane = The main reasons are: I like birds, it's a beautiful creature with a rich multi-cultural mythology, it symbolizes active balance to me, and this bird is also related to parts of my heritage.

My HOL name is Oceana Blackberry. I wanted to have a name that has something to do with me.

Oceana comes from ocean.
And Blackberry is a fruit.

I like the ocean and I love blackberrys. So I put these two words together to create a name. To make Ocean sound like a girls name I looked in the Internet for names that have the same meaning and I found Oceana.
I like the sound of the name and so I took it.

Simple! I like the name Jessica and my favourite colours blue.

Antha actually came from a character from an Anne Rice novel.(she was rowan's mother) and it just kind of stuck with me. Cobbelswell just came out of nowhere when I was sleeping one day (years ago) I used it on another RPG site.

AmÃ©lie Grizedale

AmÃ©lie is because I absolutely adore the film.

Grizedale is the "house" (college) I was placed in while studying abroad in England.

Post by **Scarlett Hvong** » Tue Dec 16, 2008 12:25 pm

Hmm, lets see!

Scarlett is a name I have always loved, it is also a nickname that my mom gives me from time to time after Scarlett O'Hara in 'Gone With the Wind', mostly at times when she needs to deal with my temper

Hvong is simply a Lao/Vietnamese surname; I liked the unique spelling and the sound of it, and the fact that it suited Scarlett well enough

Post by **Jinxi Gavett** » Tue Dec 16, 2008 10:15 pm

I chose Jinxi because back when I didn't know if my baby was a girl or boy, the girl name I had picked out had the middle name of Jinx, and we were gonna call her Jinxi. But I had a boy, and I loved the name so much, I had to use it somewhere

I don't know where Gavett came from. I heard it, and it sounded good!

Post by **Stephen Scofield** » Sun Dec 28, 2008 9:05 am

I choose stephen scofield because STEPHEN came from one of my favorite actor. He is Stephen Seagul. And for SCOFIELD it's the last name of a character in Prison Break series. I think that's all from my name. Thanks.

minna is my real first name, i coulndt change it. i love my name too much! i just changed my last name.

Tue Jan 06, 2009 8:34 pm

I chose Phillipa because ever since I read The Children of the Lamp when I was about twelve I've loved the name. (She likes to go by Phil for some reason, though. Can't really explain that.

)

Bettencourt was chosen because I didn't like the other last name I had for Phil, and really like the sound of it, so I chose it for her last name.

Post by **Grace Dawson** » Wed Jan 07, 2009 9:13 pm

Grace Dawson...

I chose Grace for no particular reason, Just because I thought it was a pretty first name.

And I picked Dawson, because of Dawson's creek...Lame I know.

There you go! Nothing special!
