So how did you come about with your particular character name for EVE? What on earth were you thinking when you picked that name?!? Does it hold some special meaning we don't know about? Some hidden knowledge that you are willing to share about it here? Or is it just some wild thought of the moment that you may still appreciate or even regret? And if you could change your character name, would you, and let someone else take it if they could?

And lets not talk for our alts/mains, post with your name, then let it fly, then post with the other if you feel so inclined at some point. Feel free to comment on peoples replies, just keep it flowing towards the general topic as usual.

My answer:
Regardless to popular opinion, it's not Web-Van, just Webvan, rhymes with my rl name. My nephew played EQ1 with me, made a character name that rhymed with my name, and the thought crossed my mind when trying to find an untaken name in EVE. Not the same name he used, just another rhyme which I rolled with. Never used the name elsewhere, prolly never use it anywhere else. I don't regret the choice, I wouldn't change it, and not concerned what it may or may not imply. But even on that, I chose it to imply different things as well, not just be completely random (no offense to "Random McNally"), but acceptable as to apply different meanings rather than some straight RP style name. But it's mine, mine the precious!

Sibyyl is a version of Sibylla which is a name I thought was interesting when I was reading about the Crusades. I tried 'sibyl' for my AOL username, but somebody already had it so I added a 'y'.

"Riyria" is from a fantasy novel trilogy I enjoyed: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riyria_Revelations
In the books it's not the name of a character, but the name of a pair of thieves, some elven word meaning something with "two" or "partners" or something, I don't remember anymore.
I just liked how the name looked, so I've been using it in some games.

"Twinpeaks" .. well, for some reason as I created this character the old tv show "twin peaks" came to my mind, which is weird since I've never watched it. Nevertheless, I chose to use it as last name, somewhat of an unfortunate decision according to some comments I've gotten about it so far, haha.

My name was finely crafted by hand, laying on the floor, staring at the ceiling, mulling over combinations of letters in my head until I was happy with it

Ex OR Doc?

I wanted a fairly generic name that have a gritty fealing to it, that will sound rough but also sophisticated, and as being not a native english speaker I did not care much about a meaning.

Now when I look at it, I think about rat in a bag.

A hat.

In RL, I've had the nickname "chaos" or "chaotic" for many many many years. It appears, that I tended to be unpredictable.

When I decided to play EVE, I know I was stewing over a name for a couple of days. One day at work, I looked upon one of those pull down classroom maps and at the bottom was the Corp name "Rand McNally".

Didnt' take to much effort to change "Rand" to "Random".
