So how did you come about with your particular character name for EVE? What on earth were you thinking when you picked that name?!? Does it hold some special meaning we don't know about? Some hidden knowledge that you are willing to share about it here? Or is it just some wild thought of the moment that you may still appreciate or even regret? And if you could change your character name, would you, and let someone else take it if they could?
And lets not talk for our alts/mains, post with your name, then let it fly, then post with the other if you feel so inclined at some point. Feel free to comment on peoples replies, just keep it flowing towards the general topic as usual.
My answer: Regardless to popular opinion, it's not Web-Van, just Webvan, rhymes with my rl name. My nephew played EQ1 with me, made a character name that rhymed with my name, and the thought crossed my mind when trying to find an untaken name in EVE. Not the same name he used, just another rhyme which I rolled with. Never used the name elsewhere, prolly never use it anywhere else. I don't regret the choice, I wouldn't change it, and not concerned what it may or may not imply. But even on that, I chose it to imply different things as well, not just be completely random (no offense to "Random McNally"), but acceptable as to apply different meanings rather than some straight RP style name. But it's mine, mine the precious!

For me, I like the name Seraph. However its the last name that means something to me:
S - A - L = Ess - ae - ell = Essael Quoted from Doc Fury: "Concerned citizens: Doc seldom plays EVE on the weekends during spring and summer, so you will always be on your own for a couple days a week. Doc spends that time collecting kittens for the on-going sacrifices, engaging in reckless outdoor activities, and speaking in the 3rd person." |

"Riyria" is from a fantasy novel trilogy I enjoyed: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riyria_Revelations In the books it's not the name of a character, but the name of a pair of thieves, some elven word meaning something with "two" or "partners" or something, I don't remember anymore. I just liked how the name looked, so I've been using it some games.
"Twinpeaks" .. well, for some reason as I created this character the old tv show "twin peaks" came to my mind, which is weird since I've never watched it. Nevertheless, I chose to use it as last name, somewhat of an unfortunate decision according to some comments I've gotten about it so far, haha. |

i now use it, or Marcus Gordin if it'll fit, on every online game i play

I have no idea what the original owner of this character was thinking, and I still facepalm over enthusiastically whipping out the credit card as a noob and buying various characters (all legally). The other one is a Charmed character, not sure which irritates me more. Seemed amusing at the time 
First main was a Lilith of some sort - I really have no imagination with names, even naming ships stump me sometimes. I think she had an underscore or some wierd spacing in her name (and after a few weeks I decided Gallente were terrible) so she got biomassed. Still don't regret that oddly.
Second one first name/second name pulled from two different short stories. All of my more imaginatively named characters get mangled in comms. I never really consider what certain accents will do to names when I roll them, so usually end up saying "Oh for god's sake just call me Marsha". Compounding the problem, I've been pouting over this name thing since 2008.
I have these though, was pretty smug when I found they weren't taken and they amuse people in trade channels: Blueprint Original Blueprint Copies Capital Blueprints TO THE RIPARDMOBILE! |

Many, many moons ago I played an MMO where they gave you a selection of first/surnames to choose from. You'd pick from a list of regional names depending on the location in the world you wanted to spawn into. I chose Australia naturally, and from the list of names I was given I chose Erica. I played there using that name for a long time, then eventually began playing a star wars MMO where I decided to also name my character Erica due mostly to familiarity. Then some years later again I find EVE and decided once again to name my character Erica for familiarity. 
In fact I'd become so endeared to the name over the years that it became one of my favorite. Can you guess what my daughter was named when she was born?  Gÿá Part-time wormhole pirate | GÖí Full-time super model WH Blog | #420roloswag | Bio |

The fine people who talked me into playing EVE were busily naming ships after various '80s songs. With that in mind, I picked an old favorite band from the 1980s, Camper Van Beethoven. The drummer is Chris Pedersen, often credited as "Crispy Dersen." The singer's name? David Lowery.

Ah, I love Camper Van Beethoven, I listened the crap out of them, particularly their third self-titled record, a bona-fide classic in my book I used to play over and over again.
I couldn't get into their new recent album, or Lowery's Cracker in the '90s (Monks of Doom was good on the other hand), but their '80s output as CVB is amazing.

My name is a hybrid.
I had a Star Wars RP character whose last name was Zehn back in the 90s. Here is a short story. 
I never really thought I'd love EvE, but I gave it a try in 2005 since some RL friends started playing in 2003. I figured I would simply cancel my account, so I used my first name and took out the "n" to be a little more sci-fi or whatever. haha 
If I could change it, I'd add the "n" back into the name because people can never pronounce it... really difficult when I'm in a fleet!

I don't see it.
My name goes back to the early days of the internet. I've always been the first to prepare for the long term, so I wanted my first email username to last a long time, to always suit me and never be taken by somebody else. I initially chose SpikeFromPhobos (Spike was my nickname at school and I liked Phobos, and considered myself to not fit in with humans), just because I didn't have a lot of time. I mulled it over for the next few weeks and eventually came up with The Reaver of Darkness - that's my permanent name on the internet and it has been so since before Youtube existed. I dropped my old email and went for that one (minus the spaces).
While brainstorming for esoteric words to use in the name, I thought of the word reaver, which I had seen in Starcraft initially and later in Soul Reaver (this was before Soul Reaver II). I looked it up--a reaver is something that takes something away forcefully. The word bereft is based on it. I thought it sounded cool and slapped darkness on and was thinking ooh that sounds neat, but I'm not a reaver kind of person and I'm not dark. But then I realize it can mean I take away the darkness. So that's officially what the name means now. I spread the light of knowledge and work to get rid of the lingering darkness of close-mindedness and bigotry.
I couldn't fit my name into EVE, so I used the short version for my first name and for my last name I used one of my WoW characters, Glitterstim (Farstriders US), named after that spice drug mentioned in Star Wars books. The official story behind the name of my EVE character is that while growing up in Clellinon, he came across an old tale about Glitterstim, and he abandoned his birth name for the name Reaver Glitterstim as he intended to be a miner. He didn't know what would be out there but as he lived a sort of sheltered life, the only sort of treasure he was familiar with was Glitterstim.
And yes, if you're wondering, I do come up with the stories for the names after I come up with the names. I do a good job of covering for it though.
P.S.: I have been accused of taking the name from Soul Reaver II's darkness font, as well as from the reavers in Firefly. My name predates both. Trivia: I discovered Soul Reaver II by looking up my name on Google. I would show off that only I came up in the search, until one day Soul Reaver II was the only thing that came up in the search. I was furious and considered suing them for theft and misuse of intellectual property. True story. Fit a warfare link to your tech 1 battlecruiser. Train Wing Commander.

My name is a combination of 2 things personal to me.
- Shah: it means "king" in Persian/Farsi, which is my family's ancestry.
- Fluffers: I used to have rather long "poofy" hair that various females loved to play with because it was so "fluffy." After some years (including one too many bar excursions with good buddies) tthe nickname evolved into "Fluffers." The comedian Gabriel Iglesias only cemented this further as I was a rather "big guy" during my late university and post university years.
When I started EVE I wanted to create a "disposable" name for a character that I intended to toss as soon as I learned the mechanics... but the more I learned about EVE the more I realized that there was no such thing as a truly "disposable" character and so there was no incentive to biomass (quite the opposite in fact).
Eventually the name grew on me as I realized that no one takes a person with "Fluffers" in their name seriously... which works wonderfully in PVP.
All hail the King of Fluffiness!!! Change isn't bad, but it isn't always good. Sometimes, the oldest and most simple of things can be the most elegant and effective.

Back in the late 90's I was into professional wrestling. So I joined one of them e-mail wrestling leagues, and I wanted a Cool name. Being a geek I always like Darth Vader. So I wanted to use the name Darth, and figured that The Grim Reaper was cool. So I used Darth Reaper.
Then a few years later, I joined a game called Earth and Beyond. And rolled a Progen Warrior. Again I used the name Darth Reaper. A few weeks later I made a Jenqui Explorer alt, so I figured to keep the naming convention, I Was Darth Reaper JE... but the name was too long, so I dropped it to Darth ReaperJE that was STILL too long, so I thought and went well DaReaper could have multiple meanings, so lets do that. Thus DaReaperJE was born.
A few weeks later, I was going to make another alt when they announced the sunset of EnB. I was bumming, but CCP did there first trial for eve, so me a few friends jumped over. Once again, Darth Reaper was made. 1 week into the trial I got hooked on eve, and decided to go but the CD and use that code to activate my trial (little did I know at the time that you can't do this) So I went to the virgin megastore and bought the very last eve retail box. When I got home I tried to use the cd key on Darth's account, but it failed. So I said 'crap.. well.. lets make a new account' and when I was going to pick a name, the first one that poped into my head was DaReaper. After that I transferred darths stuff to da and let the trial expire. A few years later I restarted that account, but as I was attached to da, I bio'd Darth and made my other alt. But that's a different story. 10 years of eve... yea i'm an addict |

mines a bit of a sorry tale of woe if I`m honest . back in the day (2003) I`d created the my character with a different name but I`d buggered up the blood lines training thingy and when someone pointed out my mistake I thought aww sod it im still only 2 months old ill just scrap the character and start again ....anyways after about a thousand attempts at trying to get around the profanity filter (which I failed at miserably) ... in my fustratration I just typed in my own real name by mistake 
so imagine my surprise and bloody embarrassment when I found out I that I was stuck with me own bloody name in game so ive not been able to take part in any R/P ...as I had thought id might like to have a shot at back then so I just act exactly as I would do in R/L ...

It's not English - it's Serbian (since I'm from Serbia). It means "Antichrist's Apprentice". It's not religion based, but rather have roots in high-tech. I've read somewhere that the Antichrist would be a man who could create anything that God creates, but that his creations would be artificial and without a soul. When I started playing I was studying Artificial intelligence in software engineering. Eve is also a game where you are actively creating something in a virtual universe, so each player is a creator. I didn't want to name my character as a singular entity that would rule out other players/creators, so I've added "Apprentice".

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 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.

My main however has a lot more class. Sort of along the lines of a Cannibal Kane-esque kinda name. Supposed to generate a little fear per se when they read your name. Probably bullsh*t, but hey, whatever works right?
Other characters i have bought when i needed an OOC booster pilot or wanted to try some different aspect of the game and needed a specialized character. -áMiko Sunji:-á "There is no better way to find out if you can swim, than swimming for your life."

A silhouette is an outline, a false representation of that which casts the shadow. Project could be the verb that represents the act of the silhouette being painted on a surface. Or it's the noun 'project' which represents a task to achieve a goal.
Or maybe it's the gin talking. |

Solecist Project, I am making this off-topic post to explain something to you about off-topic posting, what is permitted, and what is not. I won't make ISD Ezwal post this snippet from the rules: 26. Off-topic posting is prohibited.
Off-topic posting is permitted within reason, as sometimes a single comment may color or lighten the tone of discussion. However, excessive posting of off-topic remarks in an attempt to derail a thread may result in the thread being locked, or a forum warning being issued.
When you make a post related to another post in the thread yet not related to the thread's topic, it's fine as long as the branch topic doesn't go very far before returning to the thread topic. This is different from making a post lacking content just to get your face in on the chatting. I looked through the posts you made which "Project Dominance" warned you about--hope you don't mind the minor invasion of privacy. While some of those posts would have been fine by themselves, posting several like that at once really makes it look like you're just posting to post, and that activity is prohibited.
Sometimes I feel the need to post for posting's sake. In those cases, I find something to say in response to the topic, even something simple, that at least furthers the discussion a little. Also, I try to limit that activity because the real purpose for posting here in Out of Pod Experience is to have fun talking about things. You can make individual threads in which the topic is just spamming, if you wanted. Threads like 'The Like and Get Likes Thread' and 'The Off-topic Thread' have a unique topic that allows for posts not normally allowed.
ISD Ezwal is bound by the forum rules just like we are, though they apply a bit different for him being within the Interstellar Services Department. But he was not spamming the forums because each post he made in response to yours may have had the same wording but they were all addressed to your individual posts. At no point in time did he post them in excess. Also, I would suggest you try to avoid speaking negatively of representatives appointed by CCP:
4. Personal attacks are prohibited.
Commonly known as flaming, personal attacks are posts that are designed to personally berate or insult another forum user. Posts of this nature are not beneficial to the community spirit that CCP promote and as such they will not be tolerated.
Furthermore, CCP Devs can permanently ban you from the forums or even ban your account from the game for making any personal attack on any member of CCP, and I believe this extends somewhat even to GMs and ISD. If you wish to discuss ISD Ezwal as a topic, that is fine--just make sure you do so in a civilized and non-condescending manner.
https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Forum_rules
For anyone who is curious, my first post in this thread is #29 on page 2, and ISD Ezwal's first post in this thread is #16 on page 1. Fit a warfare link to your tech 1 battlecruiser. Train Wing Commander. Get in the Squad Commander or Wing Commander position. Your fleets will be superior to everyone else's.

Maybe he means the names are: 1.) Gallente 2.) Caldari 3.) Amarr 4.) Minmatar

My character names, for the most part and all the new parts all are Empire Faction .
The only ones that are not are the older pilot names.
For instance:
1. Euno Onren Onren is the Minmatar automatically assigned name at creation. Euno is not a Minmatar name per say. It is a borrowed name.
2. Euno Ambramotte The same Euno and Ambramotte is a Gallente automatically assigned name at creation.
3. Gnati Ambramotte The same Ambramotte as above. And Gnati is not a Gallente name per say. It is a borrowed name.
4. Doug Shahni The Shahni name is an Amarr automatically assigned name at creation. Doug is my dog's name, well, not really , but close.
5. Voya Aubaris Aubaris is a Gallente automatically assigned name at creation. Voya is a name we had in my color book printing class in a grade 8 secondary school (secondary 1). It is a short for Voyager or Tripper.
6. Hos Orlenard Now this guy, Hos is a Gallente name and so is Orlenard.
7. Koy Artwik The same , both Minmatar. Koy is a Minmatar first name. Artwik the automatically assigned Minmatar name at start up.
8. Sol Hemah The same , both Amarr. First and last names or Family name.
9. Sel Kasenumi Both Caldari, first and last.
10. Vis Aldent Aldent is a Gallente family name automatically assigned, although Vis may or may not be a Gallente first name. I believe it is another name generated from another name generator. (I'll try to post the link to it later.) Fantasy Name Generator
11. Jaed Gogiko Both are Minmatar.
12. Esko Krividus Both are Minmatar.
13. name withheld Both are withheld to increase the covert ability. Yes, well, it's not the best so far, but at least you can see where it is leading. And how...
14. Eranen Mayaki Both are Caldari.
Now, where can I get the Empire Faction first name if I have no way to find out? Well... I used the EVE Online Agent finder.
linky here Keep in mind it currently displays 100 agents names max. I can't see how to scroll pages... It's probably disabled due to load capacity (also known as overload).
I also checked for names in the EVE Wiki, Evelopedia, etc...
