Bumblefck because in the series Stella Street the man playing Joe Pesci chased around a man in a bumblebee suit, trying to kick his arse, screaming "quit running ya Bumble****, you" Lol

Didn't get past the nazi profanity filter though Sad

Noriko = "Law" or "rule"
Satomi = "Wise and beautiful"

Basically "Lawful, Good" as a Japanese name. I didn't know there was a RL musician with the name.

I like to come up with sexy, exotic-sounding names for my female MMO characters. Sometimes I'll consult online lists of baby names and surnames and pick ones that appeal to me, but this time I basically strung together some syllables (I like "S", "sh" and "ah" sounds, obviously). Lol

Did a little fact-checking just now, turns out "Shahirah" is a real-world (Arabic) name that means "famous".

As for the last name, I can't find any definitive translation, though "orga" could mean "organic" and "sana" could mean "healthy"... strung together, I think they sound vaguely Japanese.

I played Sim City once, and hit random letters to name my city. Those letters were "Khanhrhh"

I added an apostrphe to make it look more like an "alien name"

Despite never being the intention, do you think I can sign on vent without SOMEONE going KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!

hint: no

One of my favorite books ever (read: EVER) is The Inferno. Cocytus (kō - sī - tus) is the name of the Glacier the imprisons Satan. Nandy is the name of Inara's hooker friend in the unaired Firefly ep. Heart of Gold. She likes spaceships and has red hair too.

So it goes.

Back in high school (more than twenty years ago) I made up a character name for a story I was writing: "Danica". Years later I start hearing about people walking around with it (Danica Patrick of course). As for "Kaliinen", Isaac Asimov used the name twice. First in one of the Foundation novels and later in Fantastic Voyage II. My name is a reference to the Foundation character.

I rolled in a star lance called the "Iron Wolves" back in the mech warrior 2 days they divided thier lance into the bears, wolves and foxs by mech weight, one of my favorite mechs was the nova as it accomidated my laser saw setup all too well, I got to be known as one heck of an ankle biting pilot clipping feet and legs off other mechs.

Since then I've used the call sign for all my science ficiton game settings.

Normally when I make a character in a RPG game I try to come up with a "realistic" name that is unique and maybe a bit exotic sounding. I just write down tons of ideas on a page and do lots of variations and try to find something that sounds cool but at the same time is not too crazy or weird or hard to say. People on comms seem to have trouble with it so I guess I failed with that last part. OOO NEZ KAH TOOR EEE GAAAALL
