My character's name

My real name

The website where I got the info from.

So according to this site "Keavy" is the Anglicized form of Caoimhe which is derived from Gaelic Caomh meaning "beautiful". Other sites say "Keavy" is Gaelic for "Graceful" so now I am totally confused.

Anyways, have fun!

I've been told by a Japanese friend that my name means "God of Su" or "Su's God" but "Su" has many kanji meanings so it's kinda nonsensical :)

Someone told me it means "Suck me" in Italian, hmm...

Mine's easy, :lol:

Phoenix: http://www.mythicalrealm.com/creatures/phoenix.html

Pheonix or Scarlett Pheonix has been my screen name forever. I'm Pheonic in game since just about every other spelling of Phoenix was taken when I created her^^

Oh and my real name. Well my parents went all out BORING with my name. ALL my sisters got pretty names. Tiffany, Daphne, Adrianna. Pretty and uncommon names right?

Yea. Me?
Hint:
Its a derivative of Guinevere and the most popular name in America for girls born between 1978-1981.

Mine is a derivative spelling of Sybil.

Its my mom's fault. She is a grrreat fan of the Star Sybil, subscribes to "Sybil's Prophies", "Famous Sybils", and about four other Sybil fan magazines....

I honestly don't know if the orignial spelling was taken, she was trrrying to be crrreative, or she just didn't have the nerve to use it.

Cyndari = took character Sindar(I forget from where) and since mithra was a female added the "ee" to the end and switched "Si" to "Cy"

I got the name from an old highschool friend of my husbands. He told me about her name because her last name was funny (i wont say it to protect her, lol) but I liked the first name. It's starts with Kat, which I found fitting since I'm a Mithra

Real name---> http://www.behindthename.com/php/search ... =christina

My character name doesn't mean anything I guess, I just sorta came up with it using random sounds in my head.

My real name, Marc, is apparently French? I forget what it means... something about a warrior or a barbarian or something...

My name was apparently the number one most popular name in Catalonia in 2003 though.

Character Name: I guess this would be the closest one since i couldn't find 'Yukira' directly, though I know for sure it is a genuine female name in Japan. - http://www.behindthename.com/php/view.php?name=yuki

My true name (Wow, you made me reveal it....) - http://www.behindthename.com/php/search ... erms=Karim

Yuki may actually be a male name :lol: if you've ever watched Fruits Basket there's a male character called Yuki but is could be for both sexes :D I can tell you without looking at that webpage that Yuki is Japanese for "Snow" :)

Edit: kay I looked at the website and low and hebold it says the name is masculine so I was right :lol: I bet there's a lot of JP players that giggle at your name hehe :lol: also I didn't know about it meaning "Luck" also :)

Well, it's actually both male and female name there. (Yuki Kajiura for example) A little bit like 'Aki' which is nowadays a popular male name in Japan, although it was mostly a female name in the past (In Finland, 'Aki' is exclusively a male name btw.)

'Yukira' is a female name, though it is rather rare if I'm not mistaken. :)

Rare because it's made up? :P added something on the end of a male Japanese name in hope to made it sound female? :lol: :D

Im a girl but the name is Male apperntly I came up with acouple
names:
Judas- Biblical
Gutix-Basque (lol funny spelling but sounds out like jut-as :lol: )
Jadzia- Polish
so I went with Judas just cuz it has the same letters..
.... thats the dudes name who betrayed Jesus at the last suppers
and is a male name.. :twisted: so I guess my name is evil maybe lol ; . ;
donno (I'm not gunna post the site thing cuz im to stupid to know how..)
so then I looked at Jadzia... wich is feminine but is a pet form of Jadwiga
(wiga :lol: ) and this post is getting silly and long but the name was used in the original Star Trek: Jadzia Dax
and my Uncle was the stage dood for that series.
I thought that was funny and my post is getting long winded so heres Gutix!
Gutix is another male name.. - -
But yet again something Ironic.. I made Jadus the smallest mithra possible.. cuz im short too.. Gutix is Basque for ,not kidding either, "little" :lol: thats it and if you read all my rant i wub you :)

For my char, Tamaki means "Jeweled Tree" I think that meaning works pretty well for the name. :)

Nah, definitely not made up. As I said before - it is a female name in Japan, though I have seen many males with that name too. For example - Yukira Sugisaki (mangaka) is male and Yukira Oshima (actress) is female. :wink:

Char name, Aony: Doesnt really have a meaning, other than I didn't have a keyboard for my PS2 when i got the game, didnt know how to bring up the keyboard to make my own name (dad did all the registering stuff, took forever, I walked off and did other stuff) so I did a bunch of pregenerated names and took it cuz it sounded nice and smooth.

Real name: http://www.behindthename.com/php/search ... ms=Anthony

I was kinda surprised to find my name meant flower. Its meaning doesnt really go with the meaning of my last name :D "Lion Warrior"...so put it together with my middle name and this is what my full name means: Flower will helmet lion warrior. Now try to imagine what that looks like.

{That's interesting.} :roll:

by Tianshii
When I created my character I was flipping thru a sign language dictionary that has like 10 different languages in it (to get some ideas). I happened upon Angel (in english) and read down the list of translations and I liked the Chinese translation listed: Tianshi. That didn't fly with SE and I was sick of picking names, so for kicks I added the extra "i". Wa-la! Tianshii was born! :thumb:

This looked fun so here's what I did:
I put in Tianshi (correct spelling) and got-
TINASHE >>Gender: Masculine & Feminine / Usage: African / Means "God is with us" in Shona.
:| But heeyy that's not MY name so I tried my "nickname" Tian-
TIANA >>Gender: Feminine / Usage: English / Pronounced: tee-AN-a / Short form of CHRISTIANA
Then my other nickname Tia (which is spanish for Aunt)
TIA >>Gender: Feminine / Usage: English / Pronounced: TEE-a [key]
Short form of names ending with tia. It also means "aunt" in Spanish or Portuguese.

What Tianshi actually means is Sky Lion (or angel). Which works out, I think, to be prrrrety cool because I am a mithra summoner & as it turns out I'm both of those things. :angel: *cure!* :x *sic!*
:D
