Your FFXI name... What? Why? LOL? etc.

[Intense]

My mules were Aalona, and Fries. I remember a Taru from a long time ago named Aalona, but he quit and deleted his char, I i took over that name for my mule because it means "Aaron" in Hawaiian. Then my 2nd was Fries, who was a taru. I named him after food because I like {Taru Taru}{Meat dishes}!

[Kaliden]

Kaliden (Kal-a-din or Kal-eh-din just not Kally-den) Made it up, had a nice ring to it. I used it when I played Everquest for a grand total of two days.

My mules name is Takashi, saw it in the credits of some japanese film I watched.

[SassiAsura]

One night when I was at work, some of my friends were sitting around and decided that I needed a nickname. The great and powerful bastard Mattitude decided that I would be called "Septimus" from that day forward. Only he knows why he picked the name, but it stuck well and I use it (or the shortened version "Septy") for pretty much everything.

My mules Benu, Quetzal, Yel, Fenghaung, and Hooo are named after forms of the Phoenix.

My second character Atumre is named after the Pheronic sun god Ra-Atum. The Phoenix Benu is the Ba (soul) of Ra, connecting my mules to my second.

Yay talking about myself!

I always think of optimus when I see your name... then I think of how he got shot in the movie... ;_;
Beware of anyone's who's name ends with tron septimus.

[Arc07]

Arc Knight is Elmdor's job from FFT.

[Edgie]

Well You see my name and you think I got it from Edge of early ff games. But I started "Tagging" myself Edge ever since JR high... I was around 10 at the time. Playing Nintendo and ff, I remember been inside a cave, crystal cave?... anyway out of nowhere comes out this ninja, named edge, Im like woah that my name...
Fast foward to ffxi, ofcourse by the time ps2 version hits states Edge is taken... but since I wanted to be a mithra, Edgie fit her way better.

[Uroxin]

I couldn't think of anything cool, so I looked in the back of a medical dictionary, first cool word I saw was "Uroxin."

So I picked it, not knowing it has something to do with kidney stones or something

[Verb]

Verb, because it's what you do.

[Siegtaru]

Sieg is an online nickname given to me looooong ago. It's stuck ever since. I stuck Taru on the end since Sieg didn't work.

[Jerseyprophet]

Sixunderground, in tribute to a favorite song by the Sneaker Pimps.

Jerseyprophet, in tribute to an old high school Ska band I was in.

Mules:
Dillinger - in tribute to Dillinger Escape Plan
Yuengling - greatest beer ever created

[Erza]

Verb's sig is fucking classic

[LLK]

Lord= I was thinking it would be neat to have Lord in a FF LolRoleplaying game.

Lotus= DarkLoTuS was a favorite band of mine at the time I made the name.

Killer= To E-thug toughen the image up after having the wussy lord and flower in the name

= Lordlotuskiller or LLK.

[Martinius]

my character's name is martinius b/c i was reading 'picasso at the lapin agile' by steve martin when i started playing. my first two mules were named dedalus and leopold after the two main characters of james joyce's ulysses. yeah, im a book dork. my favorite mule tho is a taru male i have named gaius baltar, after one of the characters on battlestar galactica

[Turaeg]

In the back of Tolkien's The Silmarillion there is an appendix with elements in Quenya and Sindarin Names. Since I had made up my mind before I started to play the game that I wanted to be a DRG so I used Tur "Mastery, Power" and Maeg "Sharp, Piercing" Dropped the M since Turmaeg sounded stupid and made my name. I wish I could change my name to something from the Ulster cycle, since The Tain was better than The Silmarillion but I've already deleted my char once since DRG was depressing and leveling past 60 was a chore.

[MikedeeFenrir]

Mikedee because when I got on Miked was taken so I added the ee cause my grandparent's lisence plate at the time was "MIKENDEE".

No I'm not named after Mike D of the beastie boys.

Yes I am a fan =3

[Tofs]

Tofu : chinese soy cheese like this one

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...owen/TTofu.jpg


Had that nickname since elementary school for being the token chinese guy in a place full of caucasians ( I live in Brasil)

When i tryed to use it on FFXI Tofu was taken so i decided to shorten it to Tofs ( i know its not really shortening it since it still has the same amount of letters but adding an "s" is one possible way of shortening slang in portuguese).

PS : im not a Taru

PS2 : I also never played any other mmrpg and i dont know what this "Tower of Frozen Shadows" is i get asked if my name means that monthly

[Vyloan]

Made Vyloan up for "Mirage Online", dunno if it's still around though.
Few people have told me my name means something in Vietnamese, I don't know what though. 8( Wish I could change it, lotta reasons but mainly because it's so boring D:

[Hakamaru]

Haka means "grave" in japanese. And maru is a meaningless name suffix that can literally be translated to "ball" or "orb". Everyone thinks I named my character for that damned Naruto dog.

Pronounced like a japanese word: Ha - Ka - Ma - Ru

What about your original lolDrg named Ertyu?

You didn't create Hakamaru, you either obtained it from a friend or you bought it, lol.

"Objection!"

LOL. Didn't see this before. No, you have me mistaken with Akamaaru... who probably did name his character for the Naruto dog. This is the same Hakamaru who started the account just before the PS2 launch. Nice try though.

yes sorry Hakamaru, I apologised in a post couple down, after Mioko pointed it out, lol.

[Ohemgee]

Ohemgee

Because it was funny at the time.

[Mysterio]

Riceboi - I like eating rice and I'm a guy so yeah, Riceboi. The real definition of "Riceboi" is an asian who likes to soup up their import cars.

and you live in Richmond, BC?

lol original name indeed!

you must be the asian riceboy whos not wearing a hat, lol


not really griping you, was just amusing I am sure you would agree lol.



Recent census showed that only 50% of households have english as their first language in that city.

Although to the common suburbanite that % is closer to 10% in Richmond, as opposed to 50 lol.

50%? that's a lot less than I expected.
I guessed around 80-90% when I visit my mom's acquintance there

Pretty sure that was a 2004 census. But I remember the statistic vividly lol

regardless it was a 3 or so year old stat.
