Names that stand out

by Unknown

Back to Common Grounds.

One thing I've noticed is that there's a lot of similar names that get used that makes things interesting.

Xenthos & Xavius
Nejji, Tsuki, and Zenji
Gero & Gelo
Yuniko & Yunika

And usually most hang in the same organization. I don't know if that's deliberate from the players standpoint or if it's just coincidence.

That image will be forever stuck in my head whenever I see Phoebus now.

And who are you Nejii? ... Morbo? Ridley?

Edit: Hahaha I love Ileein's reaction, can totally picture it IG.

Nope, although I do know who Ridley is (apparently not a giant space dragon though.)

@Tully: Gero and Gelo were complete coincidences and unrelated - Gero was from Hawaii, Gelo the Philippines (sp). Nejii is unrelated to Tsuki and Zenji, but Tsuki and Zenji were siblings in real life so that may or may not have something to do with it. Yuniko and Yukari were friends and did that on purpose (And one more, Yuya I think), but Yurika is unrelated AFAIK. And Xavius and Xenthos are alts so that one will definitely have been on purpose.

Funny that's not the first result you get when you search Phoebus...


This man has got Gynaecomastia?

My life-long suspicion has finally been confirmed!

My favorite names:

Nydekion - might be biased (hee) but it's unique and stands out.
Vathael
Daevos
Veyrzhul
Narsrim
Faragan
Desitrus
Shamarah- reminds me of some all-powerful wizard or mage
Destridas
Asmodea

As far as the name Ama'nar'isil- I share Iasmos' sentiments. I don't like apostrophes within any surname. Amaru created La'Saet. But two in one name is really bad. tongue.gif


Thanks for the Malicia love also! I chose the name not really considering the word Malice...though I can see the relation. I also had a lot of people think I was an evil person because of it. I think Veyrzhul sounds like an 'evil' name. Something about that letter Z...
Casilu2010-12-29 20:31:21
Now I'm tempted to ironically found a family with a long name and apostrophes between each letter.
Ilyssa2010-12-29 20:39:17
You know what last name I really remembered? DAIENAISUS.

Pheebs is bringing sexy back.

EDIT: Also, can't forget the win that is Silverwind. Just look at that damage, man. Totally represents the power of trills. content.gif

My Character was initially going to be called 'L'st''n but the System wouldn't accept it.

Showing your achaea roots perhaps?

The "zhul" part sounds like an orc living in Mordor.

Any name that is quadrasyllabic, starts with "Ki" and ends with a A and E is almost assured to be both memorable and heartwarming.

When I joined, someone sent me a message suggesting I change my name because it sounded too masculine. rolleyes.gif

Not gonna lie, I thought you were a dude for a while.

Xavius and Xenthos are alts so that one will definitely have been on purpose.

Could be. Most of the evil players had 'x' or 'z' in their names. Ha

I am charmed.

Still a name thief though. Thief.


Don't go stealing this cookie.

Really!? Wow, they even made different forum accounts for each too. That's some mad multi-playing skills.

There are actually some people who have done that.

You can only be referencing Kiradawea and Kialkarkea, and yet both of those have five syllables.

Why can't I say people's names?!
