i`m looking at all these weird and wonderful names that players have in eve.do they represent somthink, is it just a name that took your fancy, did you deliberate for awhile on what to have, or like some people did you just shut your eye`s and type in. my name is me, i rarely say anythink to anybody, but these forums have mucked it up a bit.

Everything, a brand is what you are and what you see, there's a reason as to why they called something branded.
Remind me about The Maze.

So your name is Silence because you don't post very much on the forums? ;)

Mines totally made up. Sometimes you can get decent names for mmo's by using your first or last name backwards, though this isnt the case with mine.

My first name is the root word in the etymology of my RL first name.
My surname is taken from the old chat name of someone who had a profound impact on my life like none other, one of those friends you don't have to talk to to feel her company (Evil Dove).
Together, they serve as something of an oxymoron, which matches my IRC name.

Nuvolari: Famous Italian racer of motorcycles and automobiles, particularly Dr. Ferdinand Porsche's Auto Union "Silver Arrows".
Nikolai: I don't know, I just always liked "Nick"/"Nicholas" as a name, and my ancestry is Russian, so "Nikolai" is the Russian variant along with the fact that it just sounds cool.

I have a lot more, ummm, respect, I suppose, for characters with 'realistic' names, or something that feels appropriate. Silly mixes (in my view) of letters and numbers (and I don't mean the random jumble that the macro-miners/farmers pick) just get ignored. FWIW! I just appreciate the effort sometimes, although I do get a laugh out of some of the choices.
Myself, I pondered a name for a while before I made this character. I threw a few words together to see what I liked, did a few Google searches looking for inspiration, and here I am.

[16]
Mine is from Chronos, the Greek god of time. I just mixed up the spelling a bit because it looks better this way. 26 is the date of my birth, 26th June. I regret sticking the 26 on now, numbers stuck on the end of a name don't usually look good...  Some people have much worse though so I'll stop my complaining.

Telemicus Thrace

Posted - 2005.12.30 22:38:00 -
[17]
When I signed up for Eve I dropped my old MMORPG callsign in favour of a more RP name.
Mine is made up from two sci-fi characters I like. I also like the fact that they are rarely, if ever, refered to by these names in the show.
Telemicus Rhade (Andromeda)
Lt Cmdr Cara Thrace - Starbuck (Battlestar Galactica 2004)
Together they also fit in nicely with ancient Greek mythology. Telemicus, son of Odyssius, King of Ithica etc. Thats why a lot of my ships have names from Greek mythology, like my Hoarder 'Argo' or my Cheetah 'Nemo' (in Greek Nemo means 'No one').

Takitoo is the latest product of a naming scheme that is common throughout my whole MMO career. Ellah was a side character invented by Wolfgang Hohlbein, one of the better authors out there.
Ellah > Intoki > Intaki > Intuki > Tukitoo > Tikitee > Tokitoo > Takitoo

I always liked "Takitoo", it just sounds cool and funny and cute at the same time. Takitooooo...

Wait so did you come up with that because of the Intaki race in EVE, or was that a coincidence?

I named an Undead Warlock Intaki (after the EVE race) at first, but developed Altitis.
As for Takitoo:
In my old corp chat we had it about Takitoo sounding like a mix drink, once. My interpretation of it was being sour with some good kick to it. Most people thought it was sweet with a good kick, though. I resent that. Takitoo is not sweet.

There must be a lot of people out there that really regret their choice of name. It's probably about the most important choice you make in Eve: far more important than race, or starting stats. Your name is your identity for the rest of your life in Eve, and you're probably going to be here for quite a long time! I only expected to play for about 6 months or so. I've been here three times that so far.
There's a few golden rules when choosing a name to my mind. Your name needs to be reasonably easy to say and type. I don't want to have to try and say cZk11243 on teamspeak, for example. It's also good if your name abbreviates easily. Lastly, pick a name that doesn't sound completely out of place in Eve.
aLtCaPs just make you look stupid (and sooo 2002). Avoid numbers - just makes you look like an AOL user (apologies to [email protected]).
Oh, and my name? It's a song by a band called Black Heat. I liked the sound of it, and it seemed to fit a Brutor character. My main regret is not coming up with a second name.

Then come up with a second name, and include it in your bio. Our EVE names are only our pilot callsigns, some of us don't use our exact/full names for them (Magic Trev for Trevor Deveraux, for example).
