The Story Behind Your Character's Name(s)

by **Alistair** Mon Feb 16, 2015 6:55 am

Did you name your dragon after something? I did on a few!

Allistair: a character in a novel I wrote, plus a guy in DragonAge
Sting: I named her after my favorite character's in my fav movie's sword: Bilbo Baggins! Plus I figured out recently that Sting is also a WWE wrestler and is gonna fight Triple H at WrestleMania this year.
Dinnozo: a character from NCIS! here's a vid of him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTRe83o2i6A Idk if there's swearing, but that's him!

Is that it? I think so...
So what about u? Very Happy

by **Alistair** Mon Feb 16, 2015 6:57 am

yeah don't watch Dinn's video unless ur ok with swearing or inappropriate language

by **Tenebris** Mon Feb 16, 2015 7:16 am

Well as a few people already know, "Tenebris" is actually latin for Darkness.

by **SolsticeEquinox** Mon Feb 16, 2015 7:48 am

Solstice Equinox originated from two cat characters I created. They were anthromorphic. One of them was blonde and blue-eyed by the name of Solstice, and the other was red-eyed with red and black hair named Equinox. I had originally planned for Equinox to be Solstice's evil side, but then I decided they were going to be siblings. I learned the words in an elementary science class. And when I joined here, I thought I was going to make two characters. Solstice, and Equinox. But that didn't happen.

Melody's name was the first thing that came to me when I pictured a crystal dragoness. I'm pretty sure it's because she is gentle, and as are melodies.

Vera's name came from me translating words into other languages, and I ended up translating "beauty" from English to Russian. I got Vera, which I thought would fit a new character.

Aquamarine's name came from a conversation in chat when people were discussing their birthstones, and mine is Aquamarine. That made me think of a SeaWing character, and then I matched her to my birthstone's colour. Pale blue.

Ariki's name came from me typing more letters into Google translate, I think. I don't quite remember the story for his first, but his last name, Ren, I have the facts for. If you translate "Gay" from English into Russian, you get гей, which looks like a screwed up version of Ren. But I just now typed Ariki into google translate, and I translated it from English into Czech to Maori and back to English. It means "Lord."

Shiavee's name came from me randomly thinking of stuff.

Nizza's name is Bella translated from English into Italian and then that translated into Finnish.

Artemis' name was something I considered when I saw an argument about the greek gods and goddesses in chat.

Star Brilliance's name is relatively obvious. I wanted to make a star dragon, and of course, stars are brilliant, so that happened.

I have like a lot of charries btw

by **Alistair** Mon Feb 16, 2015 9:16 am

lol, we all know that u have a LOT of dragons, Sol xD
I'll break the record! Don't believe me, just watch! *Uptown Funk starts to play* :p

by **Arkhor** Mon Feb 16, 2015 12:19 pm

For me I think I just did something simple, I put my IRL name in an generator and got Arkhor XD

by **Tori** Mon Feb 16, 2015 12:20 pm

lol, i think that's actually interesting... In fact, how did u do it? O.o

by **Arkhor** Mon Feb 16, 2015 12:25 pm

err can't remember, think I just used a generator finding out my dragon name from my real life name or something.

by **Adra** Mon Feb 16, 2015 12:25 pm

Okay, here we go

Wisp came from the fact that before I became the klutzyest person on planet Earth, I was like this super ninja child, and I had a friend who used to say I would float around like a "Wisp" of smoke.

Adra is the name Arkhor chose xD

Hikari actually means Light in Japanese. Get it, the LightWings name is Light xD

Zephyros was named by Atlas

Neru was named by Nebula

We ALL know where Natsu came from.

Asailia is the name of a land I created back when I was younger. I actually have a book written called "The Heirs of Asailia" I just like the word.

I think that's all of them.

by **Tori** Mon Feb 16, 2015 12:29 pm

That's actually cool stuff! Very Happy

by **NightStrike** Mon Feb 16, 2015 1:13 pm

Mine are pretty simple.

NightStrike: Night, and Strike. Lightning. There goes my creativity .-. Half SkyWing and hale NightWing.

ElextroPhoenix: Electro and Phoenix. Except Elextro. :I. She's half SkyWing and half FireWing.

by **Baldirak Sapiens Draco** Mon Feb 16, 2015 1:47 pm

So, Baldirak...

The name of a character I made for a war rp on another site who was the king of the Dragon kingdom. Also just sounded like a good name for a 110 year old dragon.

by **Akreious** Mon Feb 16, 2015 3:38 pm

The name Arcke is from the word Arc,which is one of his forms.... Eh also from the beginning and play off of Akreious which is a random name I made.... End! Beautiful story Smile

by **Equinox** Mon Feb 16, 2015 5:13 pm

YAAY DADDY UR BACK!

by **Ashley** Mon Feb 16, 2015 11:20 pm

Alright.

Luna: Astral picked because she is white like the moon
Sorrell: it's like a tree or something I can't remember
Edan: searched up names that meant fire and his came up meaning made of fire
Arika: another name I searched up that I can't remember the meaning
Aakesh: meaning lord of the skies in some language that I searched up
Wayra: searched it up.
Folan: tv show
Lucia: I had been studying the Latin language I think and her name meant illuminator.
Darian: friends name

by **Rylatha** Tue Mar 03, 2015 6:45 pm

Okay, on Allistair's first reply, that wasn't all of my names. So, here they are!

Rylatha: the name of a character in my novel, but I didn't want anyone to think I was 'stealing' this site name, so I changed the name in the story
Cicero: OMG I love the history of Rome, and Cicero was a Roman Senator.
Equinox: Also the name of one of my characters.
Jericho: An old city in the Bible, and for those who don't know, the Bible is the Holy Word for Christains (yes, I'm a Christain and I say it loud and proud!).
MoonFlare: Just kinda came to me.
Sorkori: The username of one of my friends on Clash of Clans
Gala: Just felt it.
Saphira: the name of the dragon in Eragon

I think that's all my accounts...

by **Natrix** Wed Mar 04, 2015 8:34 am

I like my names. xD

Delphin: I guess it's a pun on Dolphin... Ark made it.

Apollo: God of Fire

Jupiter: God of Gods (Rome)

Terra: Means Earth in Latin.

Scorpius: Sounded pretty mean. Star constellation.

Boreas: Greek God of the Northern Wind

Arctus: Beast Quest and sounded cool. xD

by **Arkhor** Wed Mar 04, 2015 9:17 am

Devi: Randomly came up with it XD

Nebula: liked the name for a starwing

Dusk: From Astral (was her char first)

Blizzard: pretty clear why I chose that name XD

Lucy: From Fairy Tail

Monsoon: Liked the name as she likes rain

Volcanis: Atlas's char

Degzauth: Name generator XD

Zyailor: randomly came up with it

For those who didn't see:

Arkhor was from a dragon name generator which was done with my real name. Thats how I got it, since I did it many years ago it kinda stuck.

by **Aero Dynamic** Wed Mar 04, 2015 3:27 pm

*First post, yay Very Happy

**And because I am new here, I only have one dragon Smile

Areo Dynamic: 'Aerodynamics is the study of how gases interact with moving bodies. Because the gas that we encounter most is air, aerodynamics is primarily concerned with the forces of drag and lift, which are caused by air passing over and around solid bodies' (Quote from Google XD)

So anyway, to shorten that up it means something about flying, and hence; a Skywing shall be named Areo Dynamic (Or you could just call her Dynamic)

If I would have chosen I would have named her 'Arrow Dinamic' (Which I know I still can but... lets stick to the original.)

by **AcerDesertDraconic** Sat Jul 11, 2015 9:13 pm

Acer: Latin word for 'sharp' and 'swift'
Nightning: I took night and lightning and merged them
Draaxoph: I just combined a whole lot of syllables until I came up with something that sounded cool
Prism Swivel: I took Prism and I took Swivel and I put them next to each other

I have lots of others, but none of them are dragons.

by **Rii Rii** Sat Jul 11, 2015 10:03 pm

Umm.. I just made up all my names. I didn't base them off of anything.

Rii - made up nice and short because I didn't want her to sound fancy.

Rateevko - Also made up. His character itself is based off of the dormouse from pandora hearts. <-(Very good manga/anime by the way) http://pandorahearts.wikia.com/wiki/Dormouse

^^^ Because his character is based off of a small sleeping white mouse I kinda based his physical description as well as his abilities off of that as well. Hence why he is a tiny mostly white scaleless dragon with a long thin tail and pink eyes.

Yokubo was the only one pre-made for me by a former member cause he was originally a part of a demon plot revolving around the 7 deadly sins. Hence why he is still titled the lust bringer. Yokubo means Lust in uhhh... japanese? Or maybe korean....Or it might even be latin....IDK

by **Lynx** Sun Jul 12, 2015 4:12 am

Here's mine...

Lynx: Favorite animal and sounds epic(for me)

Cursith: Name I came up with, it sounds like Cursed.

Taiga:... boreal forests?

Eskan: Sounds cool, made it up.

Tallinus: Like Talon.... but cooler.

Silven: Like silver but with a 'n'.
