***Why did you pick THAT in-game name?***

[masterroku]

Let me get to the point...why did you give yourself the name you gave yourself in the game?

AND if you wanna share you're real name, feel free. ^_^

I'll go first....

My real name is Rocky and my IGN name is Masterroku.

I named myself Masterroku because Roku is suppose to represent the Japanese version of Rocky (actually, its Rokuki....), and at the time I was learning the language and I loved how Roku sounded. Then I slapped in Master in front of it to give it spunk and flavor....then viola, it's my IGN.

So, what about you? What's the skinny behind YOUR name?

[dakidda913]

Siphion... I was bored.. and I made it outta thin air.. It sounded cool :p

[Trashknight]

Walking puns and references.

[deoxys114]

I started playing Runescape (bad idea), and it was my first ever IGN to make. Deoxys was my favorite pokemon at the time, so I chose that. Then I wanted 3 random numbers at the end of my name like everyone else. So I closed my eyes and put my fingers on the numbers. And 114 originated.

So that is how I got Deoxys114. I use it for everything now.

[comp4ssion]

I started playing SOS a long time ago and ran the gamut of characters that never seemed to get anywhere. I gave each a name consisting of one real, actual, English word that seemed fitting for the concept of the character I was trying to create.

One day I made a little Acolyte whose in-game thing was to be caring and helpful in her service to others. And presto - Compassion was born!

[justin_2006]

well me and some friends at school in tenth grade(first semester to be exact :P) had some kinda inside joke concerning this weird girl(trust me she gave us reasons to pick at her.. she was very obnoxious and annoying >__>) for SOME reason we came up with this inside joke to where we would just say exactly what my in-game name is... no.... NOOOOO!!

and like we would say the last part rlly loud :X
(we dont do this anymore lol)
but it was rlly funny and it popped in my head when i was creating my character :PP plus it sounds like someones running from monsters and that also sounded humurous... since i was a nub anyway i thought it fit :PP

lol
theres a piece of the puzzel about meh ;D

[karlac74]

my name irl is Karla:
lol well my first char was my neo.. Lolaa
xD i just looved that name since i saw it in
a movie"confessions of a teenage drama queen"
idk if i got the title right XD
and then.. my main Trishh.. was because i like that
name 2... and this is my first mmorpg and only :P
soo i thought it would be a good way to actually
be called those sames XD since i dnt think it would be a
good idea to ask my mom "hey can u call me trishh for today
and lolaa tommorow? ^^ " ohh and my acos name: aphrodite<3
well i lovvee mythology XD and i thought an aco was the closest
thing to a goddess.. [dnt ask y my mind works mysteriously]
Aphrodite is the goddess of love [and my faav goddess XD]
.. thats where the"<3" comes in XD and.. lol thats it :D

[Kaizee]

Badheat <- cuz of a game :o
Viewtiful <- well its not about the game Viewtiful Joe.. i dnt even know him since in sos they asked me if i get it from there.. it jst popped up on my mind idk y o.o
Beautifly <- cuz of pokemon o.o such a nice anime/manga/game xD
I love Roku <- well for obvious reason o.o

[taintedl0ve]

I wanted Kairi from Kingdom Hearts, but that was taken.
So I thought Sairi sounded nice....
But I spelled it wrong x.x

So I got Siari haha :3

[Dalyryum]

Well, my true name is Dalynna (weird, I know) and plenty of words that begin with D are my favorite. I found one that applied to my life and my name by being combined so I chose Delirium. Hence, Dalyryum. (Some would say that I pulled off a "Lynyrd Skynyrd" XP). It's still pronounced as Delirium.

[Callypso]

There's kind of already a thread about this... but I can't find it. o.O

Not gonna retype my reasons though. X:

[sweet-devil]

i wanted Arikado ..

but it was taken ..

so my friend told me to play as sweet-devil .. and i liked it :3

[kazuya-str]

[T]akumi+ = Takumi (name already taken) = My favorite Japanese name after researching it and looking through a long list. I found an anime through this name too. xD Strangely the name is unusable in many Outspark games save for SoS. No matter what combo you use. My outspark username would've been Takumi if it weren't for that reason. o.0

(Other variants used: Takumi-CK, .Takumi-CK, Takumi-CK., Takumi., notTakumi, notTaku, etc.)

[C]erulean+ = It was a fun color and I was lacking on ideas. I was planning on recreating my Acolyte to Cleric after my Neophyte struck 54. I also didn't want everyone to know who the Acolyte was so easily from the name Takumi which I've used several times but the name format was too revealing in the end.

(There's an old thread about the same topic but I'm lazy to find it...) =/

[joradn102794]

jordan102794=my name and birth
Game Master=coz i cant use the name GM
and the other ones have simalar names as Game Master

But I spelled it wrong x.x

So I got Siari haha :3

Lol, I tried Sora myself but chances were it was taken and when I tried it...it was taken, lol.

[entropy_cow]

Sparrows are innocent, and not jerks.

[masterroku]

Sparrows are innocent, and not jerks.

Really? how did you end up with those conclusions?

[julioalmnice]

My IGN is: IBlacKStaR
i choose this ign because i love the anime SOULEATER... and one character of the series call BlackStaR and have alot of style :cool:

[ScarletBunny]

So, what about you? What's the skinny behind YOUR name?

Heh I totally thought you picked that name because of the old perv in DBZ.

My IGN is VioletBunny
I picked it cause my real name is Violet and my fiancee calls me her bunny ^^

[LewCfurPrime]

I've actually been referred to as Lucifer for a long time, since high school, and I've used this name spelled this way(LewCfur) on a hundred-billion other games throughout the years; mainly because my irl name is actually "Lewis", and I go by "Lew". I don't really have any use for the name as it pertains to the Devil, even though it's bound to conjure that image when anyone hears it^^. It does make quite an impression, although I have to wonder how many people actually get it right off the bat.

[Mr.Strawberry]

Cow_lover-
it all started in third grade....
i got harvest moon, i liked cows, i played other games, and i neamed myself cowwie<3, well i think cowwie was taken( in SoS) so i used cow_lover because, well.....ya kno(at least u should) i love cows



thats my story, mhmm, isnt it nice? ok, bye bye now, bye bye! ok cya

[masterroku]

cowwie was taken? are you serious? lol

[Mr.Strawberry]

yea got a problem????lol

[masterroku]

cowwie? I mean, I would have never guessed that other people would use the word cowwie, lol. ^_^ I would understand, cow-lover, or cow-monster, but cowwie? hmm....I guess it's popular enough for you not to have taken that name.

[udidion]

My In game name in Windslayer (The only Outspark game I play) Is 'Priest'.
...I think you can pretty much figure out why I made that my name. In windslayer, before outspark owned it, gameNgame did. Anyway, in the gameNgame version, 'Priest' was already taken. (It had been out for like 4 years) So I picked 'Priest.' (with a dot) :P Well..thats my boring, long, story.
;) ;) Add me ;) ;)

[link_8]

Well my 1st character in game was link 8, a neo, link is my favorite game character (he's from legend of zelda) and i use link for most every game i play if i hav to name a character.
My 2nd character, an aco, her name (she's a girl because i dont like the way boy disciples look in those blue gown thingys), winter 8, i had been listening to the song by kanye west "coldest winter", and i'm pretty cold myself, so i figured winter 8.
My squire, venom 8, spiderman is my favorite superhero, and my spiderman umbrella (yes, im 17 yrs old and hav a spiderman umbrella..... It's really kool, yuu just gotta see it) was near me, and i saw it and was like oh!, i didnt wanna b spiderman 8 so i named it my fav spiderman villain.
My scout on new server, shooter 8, self explanatory, i had decided i wanted a scout days b4 the new server came out, and i thought up the name, shooter.
The number 8 is behind them all because, well, one day on myspace my friend told me to pick a number and put the roman numeral of it (ix) behind my display name, and i chose 9, but he was like no thats mine, so i picked 8, and i use 8 for like everything ever since then.
I'm kelvin in real life (like the temperature scale), no relation to any of my character names at all.

[danibelle07]

you remind me of my friend apsychojellybean.

[link_8]

you remind me of my friend apsychojellybean.

hmmmm, well, idk this person, so tell me, how do i remind yuu of him/her/it? And is it a good thing?, haha

[Regigigas3.14]

well, my name was originally GigaXen, but i first didnt capitalized the X and i typed fast to make the n an m


so my Ign is Gigaxem

[kitnatia]

My name was kitnatia in ffxi online, and I loved the name. So for fiesta, I choose it again. ^^; Kit for short, or Kitn, which ever....for my other ign, Kinadia, I wanted kidnadia, but thought people would think kid nadia, so I just smashed the d out, lol x.x;. For my mage, Konnaia, I used that named in some stories I had written, and I just like the name, so used it. lol. >>;

[numb_1986]

Extremist - im an extreme player who works on daily target (lvl-ing and farming). going all out just to lvl up
-Apocalypse- - sounds cool for a magic user
SoulBreakerZ - name is way too long and i thought of it suddenly >.<
xDefender - wanted to put Defender but is taken up. added 'x' infront cos DefenderX sounds weird for me. defender name was choosen coz i was going for disc and could Assist Heal which makes me a semi tanker and defender for the weak (my 1st character in SoS and i have no regrets for it!)

[NeoQueenElyse]

Well, my real name is Brittany. I chose the name Elyse because it's my middle name and I think it's just such a pretty sounding name (way better than Brittany). I think it has a mystical and magical sound to it too. As for my other characters: OpheliaGrace because Ophelia was taken and that is one of the names I have picked out for one of my future daughters (if I have any, I really hope I don't have all boys!!), then Kaya Marley is another name I have picked out for a future daughter and Kaya was taken (Kaya is a Bob Marley song hence Kaya Marley), then Vera Lynn is a name of a Pink Floyd song (one of my favorite bands of all time) and another name for a future daughter lol (I couldn't think of anything else that was cool). I lucked out with Elyse because I played closed beta and they left the characters we created but just sent them back to level 1 Xenians again, although I haven't seen any other Elyses (yay!).

[doctor-sir]

Heylo, my real names Matt and well for a while I've been going by the name Doctor-Sir online, or y'know some variations like DrSr or DocSir etc. Well that seemed a bit too formal for Secret of Solstice, so I started playing with the two parts of my name (Doctor and Sir). After a while I came to Seardoc and liked the way it sounded when I said it. Hope you all approve =P

CYA IN GAME MATES

[waffaddict]

Let's see

Mybran- My first player, it was mine. so it was my Mybran-dnew character (sounds corny right), plus my name is bran-somthing or other.
**NotMe** - I got on this one when I didn't want people bothering me
Waffaddict - It's my fanfiction handle, I liked fanfics with WAFF (Warm & Fuzzy Feelings)
Whattheheck, Ireallystink - They just seemed funny at the time and I expected to delete them.

[Nanoko]

Muramuko - it was created based on my sis's suggestion

it is supposed to mean "sword" in japanese XD

[steaslia]

Steaslia...

I made one of those temporary, 10-minute email addresses on a website, and it gave me a random string of letters. I thought it looked like a good name for my Marian aco. xD

[sherbs]

it was a drink i had...

[entropy_cow]

My real name is Sparrow...
