About my name...

Post by Delionette »

My name is originally that of my Anarchy Online character (Solitus, Female, Adventurer). It took me forever to come up with, because when it comes to naming fictitious characters I have to have something that is as original as possible or I won't be happy with it (to me, the name is the most important aspect of my characters). But, I couldn't think of anything good, so I just started mashing the name randomizer and that didn't help either.

And then it just came to me out of the blue and in such a way that it was an epiphany-like experience :P . Delionette... I fell in love with it instantly and it has been my default female character name ever since.

When I started playing FFO, it was pretty much a no-brainer that I would use Delionette (aside from the fact that it is my default female name). It fit so perfectly with being a Mithra and all, having the word 'lion' in it and 'ette' which totally gives it a feminine feel in my opinion.

Characters I have named Delionette: AO (gave it up), DAoC (gave it up after less than an hour of playing), FFO (obviously), and I also changed Nel Zelpher's name (of Star Ocean: Till the End of Time) to Delionette :P .

Sweet Lips and Bangled Emperors take their toll.

Nice that someone knows my countrys mythology but the name of lokis wife would be pronounced Sigjyn which really can't be pronounced right in english so i won't bother to try explaining... :roll:

While this is true....for the English-speaking world, it's been reduced to the pronunciation that I have described.


I am full-blooded Danish, however, I was raised in the USA.

Mine was pretty easy. I asked my daughter to name her and she picked the nickname I gave her! :D
