When I was younger I tried writing scifi stories. It was fun, but they were crap. When I created my EVE characters I decided I use some of the names from those stories.
Wish I could have made the character to look as old and curmudgeonly as me, but that choice wasn't available. I had to settle for this rather roguishly handsome version of his younger self |

Hadn't meant to create a Tori Amos look alike, it just worked out that way
The first name comes from a story. Ket was a multi legged turrent gunner of some alien origin. I liked the name and it seemed to fit.
The last name was made up on the fly. |

From a story. Thea is supposed to be Xirxi, a race known for their dark blue eyes. Unfortunately EVE doesn't let you choose dark blue so I used what was there. I haven't decided if the blue hair and lips are natural or fashion, but I sorta like the look.
Caulder is Thea's fictional married name. He's Earth spawn but she loves him anyway |

I really have not a clue how I came up with this name. I probably just got done playing a game as the soviets and came up it somehow. I used to not like it a few years ago but it has grown on me.
Only other name I would change it too is Kate Okaseki but only for various RP reasons.

Not a particularly good writer or even noteworthy stories, but the name and especially what it stands for is quite appropriate for an ISD member tasked with moderating the EvE forum....

Honestly, I just rolled whatever random last name was given and I liked. The first name I picked something random in my mind that compliments the last name. So yes I'm not a big fan of naming my characters xXx360NoScope420BLAZEITxXx. Over the years I've grown to make characters with real names. Something that you can say IRL and no one will ever suspect that the name you just dropped was your character. |

The college i attended was the kind where you live at the school, and they had some pretty strict rules such as not leaving your "building" after such and such time at night. Lucky for me i had a room at first floor, and i became an expert at crawling in and out of the window, as well as avoiding the guards that would walk around the school area at random times during the night hoping to catch someone sneaking into other buildings visiting their bf/gf
Since i was a smoker and had trouble sleeping at night my friends knew perfectly well what i was doing and was never surprised when i would be late for the first class due to oversleeping. In this particular friend group there was one girl that insisted that everyone should have specific nicknames, something that fit with their personality (one of us was dubbed Martini, im sure you can guess why ). This girl quickly started to call me NightCrawler, because of the fact that i would sneak around during the night.
I had never really liked my real name, so somehow the nickname stuck and now only close family uses my real name unless its something "official".
In later years i moved to America, and even here i keep using a shorter my nickname. People react on it of course, but when i explain to them that when an English speaker tries to pronounce my name they are really calling me the Norwegian equivalent of.. hrm..well not a very nice word
But well, when i started to play EVE it just felt natural to use the name that i use in real life. The 85 i think speaks for it self Phoibe Enterprises official recruitment thread The Eve Reader - -áAudio Recordings of Eve Chronicles

Hah!
I'm going to chime in here, since I get asked this all the time. Usually in the form of: "Nav, why is your name so gay?"
OK, so it stems back to a game called Freelancer. I used to play on a freelancer server that held regular PVP tournaments among it's members.
One day I heard about an upcoming tourney, and checked out where it was supposed to be held in advance. The first thing I noticed was all these "Navigation Bouy's" on the scanner. Half as a joke, and half taking any edge I could gain in combat, I named a new character 'Navigation Boy' on the premise that it would confuse my opponents. Then I shipped up and entered the tourney. Lame little joke, and it would have been the end of it.
The problem is that I won the tournament.
So when the next tournament rolled around, and people asked me if Navigation Boy would be entering, I felt a little pressure to oblige. The more tournaments I won, the more attached to the name I became.
Eventually, when Eve was released, a good number of players from my Freelancer Server went and tried it out. I kept the name Navigation Boy because my friends knew that name, and because I really didn't think I'd be playing Eve for that long.
And here I am a decade later, still with the same lame name.

This is my main account and character that i made when I was 14 years old, around 6 years ago.
I just made it up at random, I thought of Dorian because I remember hearing that name a few times and thought it was cool, and I made up Tormak because I wanted a cool sci-fi type name. I don't really love the name these days but it is what it is. "Hey, cruel world... you don't have what it takes! We don't need your FAITH, we got fuckin' FATE! Fate, fate, fate!" - Marilyn Manson |

Nothing super fancy, no inside joke or anything. When I made this guy, I just looked up a lot of different French names (being Gallente and all) and put together a name that sounded good. :) |

Many moons ago I watched this old western, which told an awesome story of a young gunfighter aiming to take over the top dog spot from an aging gunfighter ready to quit.
The young guy never gives his name and just says that he is nobody.
It is funny and has classical western themes. I loved the movie and thought the name "Nobody" would be a great character name.
"My Name Is Nobody" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0070215/
-- Ever since then my first character in a game is always nobody.
Since the normal spelling is always taken, I went with a phonetic spelling instead.
Soooooo,
Nobody is perfect. My name is Nobaudee. Therefore I am perfect.

This character is the New Eden namesake of the greatest detective the world had ever seen. Full dossier as follows:
FILE SUBJECT: Chief Capsuleer Clouseau
STATUS: Active
LEVEL CLEARANCE: Unrestricted
Clouseau's exploits in the Gallente fleet are legendary. Marked with chaos and destruction he largely causes himself, his ship to ship interactions usually lead to misfortune for himself and others. Regardless of his rather unique methodologies and questionable skillsets, Clouseau still manages to complete missions and collect bounties, even if this success is achieved entirely by accident. Despite his many failings, he is seemingly convinced that he is a brilliant space pilot destined to succeed and rise through the ranks of the Federation.
He is a patriotic Gallentian; his Federation is professedly his highest priority, though he is quick to champion the causes of the underdog. He has been prone to infatuation (which is often reciprocated) ever since being cuckolded by Angel Cartel pirate Sir Charles Phantom, the notorious Pink Lytton. He is repeatedly perplexed by transvestites, to the extent that he addresses them as "Sir or Madam".
Clouseau considers himself a cunning master of disguise, and he insists upon using elaborate costumes and aliases that range from the mundane (a Minmatar warpgate repairman) to the preposterous (a bucktoothed Caldari hunchback with an oversized nose). He uses these disguises to discover clues or obtain confessions, but usually these schemes fail miserably (foiling his own subterfuge or revealing his presence or identity), yet the objective somehow progresses and succeeds despite his incompetence. Some of his preferred pseudonyms include Professor Guy Gadbois, Antique Superstructure Authority from Caduceus and Andre Botot, Mustard Salesman from Jita.
Approach with caution.
