Where/how did you come up with your Graal name?
 

Well, hope this thread hasn't been posted before, thought it was a neat idea and I was too lazy to check through the dead pages. Anyway, as the topic says, where/how did you come up with your Graal name? Well, mine didn't take a lot of thought. The Graal website displays a medieval-based, or old time RPG. My character on Graal plays a knight or a warrior usually, and I came up with the name/account Thallen, and I use the nickname Thall.

Lol... I was really good friends with Yakuna...and I changed my name to Anukay (yakuna backwards) then shortened it to anU, cuz of an old friend deS from Noah...then just went to MarkB lol

Around the time I read the first Harry Potter book. I keep the name because I don't like getting a new scree name or internet handle every month like some people do.

Vampiric Tutor- Magic:The Gathering Card
protagonist- I decided to affirm my position as the "star of the show". No real trick here.
Lucius Merwood(my RP name)- Lucius means "bringer of light". I took his name from Ceasar, the Shakespearion play. Merwood is the most random thing I could think of.

Needed to think of a name and I came up with this one.. Plus it's sorta my nickname irl..

It's my initials.... people ask me all the time, it's just my initials 0.o' it doesn't stand for anything cool...

When i first came on graal, i didn't know what to make my account name, so i just used my initials.. when i first logged on, i put the same thing as my nick... not knowing how to change my name for the longest time, i just kept useing it
=P

I was questing on UN back in good old July 2001, and set my nick as "The Quester", eventually shortened to "Quester", then finally "Questa", to make it sound like I was a gangsta or something :cool:

Spark = Sounds cool
911 = As in american emergency call. Not 9-11
910 = Secon choice, when I lost my spark911 accnt, I upgraded 910, and kept with it.

when i was developer admin on maloria, i stoled the npc name named Jaffer (ofcourse), people got pissed


i actuly think Tyrial or someone came up with that name, and i just stealed it since Prominent isnt realy the real deal,


but i wanna change name. ideas?

huh! x_X
And, new name: KitKat, Mars, Galaxy, Milkyway....

Well, its pretty obvious where I got my account name from, DBZ. :rolleyes: I don't even like the stupid show anymore. I made it when I was in my DBZ phase. It sucks I know. Anyways my other account, MrBojangles is from that old song :D

My name is Michael, just changed the spelling....

Karsh..I got it from my friend Serge. ;o He claims that I remind him of Karsh from Chrono Cross.

Rogue <- 2 reasons. First, great x-men character. Second, I always thought I was a little rogue like, always wondering off on my own on the backways.

Shadow <- Who pays attention to a shadow? People don't usually pay me much attention, so I figured Shadow. (and I thought it sounded cool as "Rogue Shadow")

:( Most people don't bother saying "Rogue Shadow", so they just call me Rogue.

Re: Where/how did you come up with your Graal name?
 

Yea, my nickname didn't take a lot of though either.

My RP name (Rinko) was one Dante gave me. He told me a lot of people in Japan used that name so I used it as Empress of Samurai.

;o My oldest account that I can think of was TylerAKANeonLink, and I have no clue why I chose that. Neonight = New Night/NeoKnight, so I just decided to go with that. Someone already had NeoKnight. x_x;;

When I first came to Graal, I used the name "T-Squad". I was recruited into the guild "Dark Legions" by a guy name Kaiser. He said my name did not work well, so I thought up "Soul Devourer" and kept that. From there, I forgot who, but someone in the guild got me to think of "Soul Blade", and I have kept the name ever since. No need to change it when so many know me by it, not to mention I can't find anything wrong with it ;).

Kiiroar. Kiirar. I think I took the Elven word Chronicler. And Tithrandir is totally random!

Darkmane on the other hand. Tis a guild family name/title.

XiLe
 

I used to play some other games before Graal, and I got sent to their "exile" on most of them because of corruptness (which I'm glad there isn't too much on Graal) I first started playing graal and just stole the Graal cahracter's name Dragoon (no originality) but later on got in trouble for it. So I thought, "Oh, I'll just get sent to-- That's it! Exile!" So my name was Exile, and someone told me it'd be neat to take off the E.... that's my story, folks.... um, yeap...

Re: XiLe
 

Good story. *claps*

I'm not a very original person. So, I got my name from my parents. :|


Just curious, but do you use that name in any other MMORPGs? I'm sure it's just fairly common...

Kjetil Valen

It's my IRL name (Norwegian), so i guess i got mine from my parents too.

I first started on the account Byeron and my name was Byeron because my IRL name is Byron o_O it sounds like Bye Ron. Then I started to call myself Damien Black for some strange reason back when I played classic, religiously, after playing FF7 and seeing The Matrix I came up with NeoJenova which has stuck with me ever since. Early days of UN I was NeoJenova -=Angel Of Darknes=- :\ pretty fruity.

I first started on the account Royal Bahts. I dont know why. I herd that on TV once. I think it was comedy central. Then a mean staff member a while back deleted the account. A year later I had a bet with Contego and I lost so he made me this account. I forgot what the bet was,and why i continued to use this account.My nickname was my real name Will,then when I was about 16 I started listening t the band Black Sabbath. I dont like that old band anymore but to many people know me as that so I'm sticking with it.;)

I remember when you went by "The Quester". Wasnt that right after Liquid Ice quit,and DW was manager?

No, It was before all that mess. Questa is still a newbie tho :D

<3 Questa

It's my real name.

Re: Re: Where/how did you come up with your Graal name?
 

Dante sounds like a cool person. If my real name was Dante, I wouldn't waste my time playing computer games. I'd do stuff with my life... :( Everyone would wub me E>

Anyhow, I came up with the name "Ziro" when I played a free game called Silencer hosted by won.net (a game no longer in existant with a community at http://silencer.tproc.org/ trying to revive the game). I had to come up with it, because I used the name "Billaaaaaay" at the time, and in one game of Silencer (yes,the game was played in "Games" like FPS's), I ruined my reputation by using a bomb that kills everyone on the map, which was seen as a cheap move. So after that, all the good players said "Let's never play with Billaaaaaay again". So then I came up with "Ziro" by mixing around other names and random letters. Then I just used Ziro Vitrudestec as a character for a story I made with a friend, so I'm no longer Ziro now that he's a fictional character :(

Heh, mine is a bit of a longer story...
My old name was AniShifter. Ani for Animorphs (my favorite book at the time) and Shifters, the name of the book I was actually writing (it was actually really good, I just never finished it x.x). Then my dad, and retards on Yahoo interpreted it as Anis Shifter, then Anus Shifter and stupid things, and I decided to change it. I sat down one day and wrote up a bunch of names, and I went to Yahoo Mail (what I used) and put them in, and none of them worked, I was really disappointed. Then, it just came to me to add Project to it, because it sounded cool, and I slapped the old Shifter on the back, and ta-da, Projectshifter was born. Then, when I started playing graal, people starting calling me PS.
---Shifter

I was assuming you got your name from the first top 5 left-to-right letters on a standard keyboard. :p Qwert.! That's nifty, it forces me to type it slow because it's a one-handed typed name. :rolleyes:

I was thinking the same thing about where the name came from :x And I never realized it is kind of slow to type! Thanks!

my first graal account which was also my first p2p was aliceinwonderland , at first i called myself alice, because i had seen the movie and i felt like her, lost in the world of graal, looking for i dont know what. ;)

Then i changed it to Sunny Rose because people said i was the kind of person that *shined* lol

Then when i came to Doomsday i chose Tifa because i wanted a new start but too many people said ooooooh tifa from ff7 so now its Tiffany :D

Re: Where/how did you come up with your Graal name?
 

I can't even remember, I think it was right before the matrix (1) came out I read about it on upcomingmovies.com and liked the name.

I got mine from Chrono Trigger. (Not the title Chrono Trigger but the character Crono)

:D I'm not very original.

In rp's I use Crono Siannodel..(I just add the Siannodel to make it elven o_O)

;) Yup.

I REMEMBER YOU NOW!

Me and my friends wanted to make up a secret name when we were talking on our radios, and we made Zallan3000, i just took away the 3000, the Zall part i made up from Zell from FF8

In my opinion, it'd be great if all Graalians had that medieval RPG-based names, but hey, everyone has their own style, and no one is, or every will be, perfect. Here's a little list of those type of names that exist on Graal, not including my own (these are in no special order):

• Stefan
• Loriel
• Amagius
• Kuza
• Selzar
• Giblin
• Kinatt
• Larrien
• Aestus
• Valder
• Pith
• Minoc
• Zurkiba
• Sir_Gareth
• Mellik
• Sir_Gareth
• Androk2k1
• AlkaranHyralt
• Gerami
• -Albus
• Skatche
• Kadar
• Dlaiyre
• Xythar
• Sigla

Phwew. That was...fun. I including some good accounts with symbols and numbers, even though I hate them. By the way, that is not my whole list, I just serahced through some posts to get those. I'll make sure to vote everyone on that list and everyone else with a good Graal name (opinion) a 5 on the forum rating system. :D

Mmm...my account name, well, I had just played FF5 at the time, and was like.."I have no frickin' idea what to use as an account name" Sooo. That was that.
As far as my character's name "Shawn Kelfonne", it's a bit of work to deal with.
First off, Shawn comes from my real name, which, although is not "Shawn", or "Sean", or any other varied spelling, it is very close to it, in a way. Kelfonne has less of an actual explanation, since it was made up off the top of my head a while back when I was creating characters for a little story. The protagonist of the story was Crimson Kelfonne, and as far as RP goes, he's Shawn's great-grandfather. Therefore, the name was passed on. In case anyone cares, it's pronounced " Kell - Fahn" not "Kell - Phone ".
And as far as his middle name being Laurent, well, I just liked the name.

If im not mistaken the account aliceinwonderland played UN awhile back cause I remember it vividly. Either UN or Sanstrata but I do remember that account name.
