Rosesong 25 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Guys, Hilda clearly named herself after that one Team Meteor grunt named Hilda. She just found that grunt so inspiring that wham, bam, thank you ma'am, she chose Hilda. Link to post Share on other sites
Chrono-Explo 0 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Which alias should I start with? HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM......? Chrono came about from my love for the game and what will ultimately be forever Square Enix's best creation from then, now and till the never ending future Chrono Trigger, though in game I never refer to the player character as Chrono and always change names to people I know or at least use their alias' like Jelly, Rose and Pineapple are all in my current playthrough. Explosms came from the name of the Cyanide and Happiness home website, Explosm.net. Belial came about through playing the Binding of Isaac for 72 hours straight. Link to post Share on other sites
Chase 94 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 The literal meaning of "Hilda" (which is indeed German, Gaunt.) is "battle-maid". I can't really speak for my parents, but if they -didn't- pick it just because they liked the way it sounds, then perhaps they thought I was going to be a fighter in some sense. Again. I didn't pick the name. Pokemon just made it cool. Link to post Share on other sites
Raindrop Valkyrie 118 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 I mean Hilda is a hell of a lot cooler sounding then Hilbert by a longshot....... Link to post Share on other sites
Vinny 27 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Hah. Burn Hilbert... and sorry if anyone here is named hilbert ._. Link to post Share on other sites
Zephyrus the Priestess 16 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 (thought I posted mine here, but I guess not) Zephyr -> Greek wind god. Also it starts with the letter Z, which totally needs more love (while my Spanish baby cousin came visiting, we would put on a bunch of alphabet-based episodes of kid's shows to calm him down-- which in my opinion totally doesn't do shit ._.-- and there was a letter Z who felt sad that none of the people he talked to knew any words that started with Z other than zoo and zebra. I know, I know, it's a kid's show but for the love of god, how can people in malls be so stupid? ಠ_ಠ) Enyalios -> Derivative from Enyo, the Greek minor goddess of war and destruction, sibling to Ares Kinda like Tempest's reason, I just thought it sounded cool. My main OC's name is Zephyr (that chick in AGS in the RP section, and thus the same chick in my DP and sig), but Enyalios isn't necessarily her last name (in fact I don't even know what to give her as a last name ._.).

Pocky 34 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 How do I start with this...Alright, so pocky was a childhood snack when i was wee little scrubs who couldn't 420 n0 sc0pe and played maplestory all day long. Chinese zodiac = dragon. Explains why most of my usernames involve pocky. Link to post Share on other sites
Vlad 0 Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 I got my name from my parents lol, the one u all see right know, the etimology would be.... Who cares lol, i must find out my oroscope! Link to post Share on other sites
Dar 0 Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Around three years ago, I joined a Pokemon forum known as the Cave of Dragonflies. I had a godawful username, but once I found out I could change it, I switched to DarkKoala. And everyone started calling me Dar because who wants to write out a full username every time. Eventually I got so used to the name to the point that if someone called me that in real life I would likely respond. Also apparently Dar means "to give" in Spanish which I find ironic Link to post Share on other sites
Raindrop Valkyrie 118 Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I have friends I met online that refuse to call me by my real name, Because Hukuna sounds cooler to them. XD Link to post Share on other sites
Arkhi 199 Posted September 8, 2014 Author Share Posted September 8, 2014 Once I give people my last name, they typically use that. Then, when I explain it means "rocky, rugged, and bearded," they go back to Ark. Link to post Share on other sites
Zephyrus the Priestess 16 Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Once I give people my last name, they typically use that. Then, when I explain it means "rocky, rugged, and bearded," they go back to Ark. Once I give people my first name, they typically misspell it or mispronounce it. Then, when I give my last name, they make funny puns and rhymes with it. The former I've gotten used to (doesn't mean it doesn't annoy me anymore, I just roll with it); the latter kinda gets to me at times Link to post Share on other sites
Chim 20 Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I just used my first reborn starter (Chimchar) with the coolest in-game character (Cain) at that time and I made something weird with it. Edit: As far as real names go: someone in the RP is using my real name. I get confused all the time but I'm getting used to it. Link to post Share on other sites
Raindrop Valkyrie 118 Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 You mean in Graterras? Link to post Share on other sites
Chim 20 Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 You mean in Graterras? No, but I think he has the same real name and is using it for his characters. He's in Surge Story and that was confusing for a while lol. Link to post Share on other sites
Raindrop Valkyrie 118 Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Ah, I see. I was just wondering which RP lol. Cause if it was Graterras.....man, you would have to have a really weird name XD Link to post Share on other sites
Flux 30 Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 No, but I think he has the same real name and is using it for his characters. He's in Surge Story and that was confusing for a while lol. I'm gonna guess Kenny. Link to post Share on other sites
Raindrop Valkyrie 118 Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Considering K-H always uses Kenny I would assume it was what he meant... Link to post Share on other sites
