I'll be honest, I have no idea where this name came from. But for some reason, I like it. So I'll be damned if I change it!

Got the name from the upcoming TES IV Skyrim.
Dovakhiin was taken, Novakhiin fits me better I think.

I rolled a grumpy middle-eastern looking toon for a forum warrior, what more do you want?

OMG!!! Master of Magic!!!
(fapping vigorously)

it is a petty that I can only give you a single "like" for this post....would have given you at least 1000.

I'd like to apologize for the poor quality of the post above and sincerely hope you didn't waste your time reading it. Yes, I do feel bad about it.

[Theodemir] An Ostrogoth King that gained control of all the gothic kingdoms yet at the time still being a vassal to the huns. Very fitting for a Khanid under the leadership of Amarr.

My name is a play on words with the famous composer Mendelssohn as its source, i.e. it sounds similar but is different enough that I did not feel I was being completely obvious about making historical references.

...clearly the Ishukone Watch Scorpion is the fifth horseman of the Apocalypse, i.e. the Brown Rider, otherwise known as Poopie.

I wondered if it would make it through the filter and it did, way back when, near release.

If I have to tell you, you probably deserve to be posting on this forum.

CCP mostly sucks at their job, but Veritas is a pretty cool dude.

Taken from a book in a series. The character, Baralosus, was a tyrant King of a country that believed in slavery, oppressive rule, torture, and among other things. I figured the name would fit for a character in Eve that was all about fighting and combat.

5 self given requirement:

1.) My characters should have "natural sounding" names, names that could very likely also exist in real live.
2.) It should sound somehow "tough".
3.) The name should not trigger any negative associations.
4.) The name should be "unique".
5.) I must feel comfortable with that name being called for example on Teamspeak.

Therefore i got through some names for men, and created a surname slightly similar to a surname from an acquaintance of mine.

After i found a suitable combination, i "googled" it for any hits, which could interfere with requirement 3 and 4. Since i found nothing with great importance to me, i found my characters name.

My name is in honor of my dead cat, the cat died after my room mate Dave tripped up after spilling his Malibu and Coke and landed on the cat, the cat dropped one out of fright and Dave ended up with a brown stain on his white pants, those white pants were the same ones he wears when he's playing in his BeeGee's tribute band. Dave and the cat got into it and Dave won unfortunately.

I approve of this naming convention.

Kinsella is a 2005 Second Life surname (last name), back when those were forced on you. Used on my testing char there.

Alain is a variant of the Second Life first name for my 'known' persona (Alan).

The two combined is very similar to my SL name, which I've had for so long that I have answered to it at times (back when I was networking in various events around NYC). It has the added benefit of sounding realistic, so interacting occasionally in RP circles is easier.
