Well, most of my names have no story behind them, the only one being my main's name.
ISorienI - Several years ago my brothers got me to try and play one of the original types of MMOs. Something called a MUD, which was a text based adventure game with no graphics. I needed a name and somehow came up with Sorien, but when I tried using it in maple I found that the name had been taken (by some level 27 spearman no less
). So, in order to use the name I had to stick some other letters around it, but I refused to use the usual XxX010 crap.
I have various other characters with much better names now, but they don't have the same nostalgia as ISorienI. My newer characters have names like Drasim, Tsullo, Taolo, Rengrin, etc., all of which were all made with a rather simple process. That being me picking a letter, and then thinking of various made up words that all begin with that letter. Eventually I just use the random, made up word that sounds the best.
