Veyda was just syllables thrown together. I like names that end with 'ah' and 'uh' sounds.

Apparently it's also an LA band, or something.

"Darth."

That is so not how you pronounce "Vader". Which movies have you been watching? D:
Hazar2007-07-15 02:50:36
And yes, I've since heard Darth. But I didn't noticed until someone changed my title on a test server.

Xiel..just another spin from a name I had once.

Orti... my second last name's singular form

I once googled Shamarah and got this. eBay, birthday present?

I remember I once went over my sister's Middle Earth dictionary for some badass names. Burzum is Black Speech for darkness. I registered on a forum with that name, only to find a discussion of death metal in which Burzum was brought up.

QUOTE("Wikipedia")
Burzum began in 1991 as a prominent and influential Norwegian black metal solo project of Varg Vikernes (born Kristian Vikernes). Originally, he used the pseudonym Count Grishnackh. Vikernes is currently serving a prison sentence in Norway for murder and arson. Burzum was instrumental in the crystallisation of early black metal, much of which is due to the infamy attributed to Vikernes since the murder of his former bandmate Øystein Aarseth (who is known better to some by his stage name of "Euronymous") of Mayhem, which he played bass for.
Awesome.

Imagine, if you will, the following scenario:

JarJar Binks tries to pronounce "Vader."
