I'm with Scipio on this one. This happens to be a name I ended up with, but I (unfortunately) end up being identifiable no matter what handle I'm under.
I think in EVE, more than other games of its kind, what you do is much more important than your name. After all, what the heck is a "Mittani" and why is there a "The" in front of it? Same for "Chribba" and "Awox".. these have meaning to us because of the stories associated with them that are told over and over as part of EVE culture.

I care for mine as I've been called it by a lot of people now who I trust and/or hold quite dear to me.
It's hard to have lived your entire EvE life in null/low sec and NOT form ties with people. At fanfest last year it was the most natural thing in the world to be called Sam by these people despite it being very different from my actual name.
Even some of my friends have started calling me Sam as we have another friend with the same real name as me and I've adopted sam vimes as my steam name as well.
Basically it IS my name now not just my character. If you've never tried PvP in EvE it's quite possible you've missed out on one of the greatest rushes available in modern gaming. |

For a main, yes. I have been some variation of Gallowmere in every online game I've played since I first took it on in WC3, where I primarily used undead. From there, first main in WoW was an undead warlock with the same name.
For alts, I couldn't really care less, but with one Eve specific exception: there is no way in hell I am ever buying a character from the Bazaar with a name in the vein of "TwoChainz McSwag" or anything of equal Down's consistency. I don't care if it's somehow only a couple hundred SP behind Dr Caymus; you'd have to pay me to take that garbage and biomass it. |

I care. Simple as that.
and to expand;
I feel that in this single-shard, who you are is _everything_ : thus your name is pretty much all you have. That alone makes your name worth more than anything. This should (and would) apply to any pilot that really invest time in their game at least (I believe).
Sure, a scammer or pirate or otherwise "bad" pilot would want to easily change their name, not being able to do so (easily) is what I find very awesome about New Eden, if you **** up, you can be burned for the entire time of the game unless you re-roll. On the upside of it (thinking of my own accomplishment) there's amazing rewards to pilots that become known as well.

There's a lot of really good names in Eve, and a lot that aren't so... plausible as a name, but at least we aren't inundated with number names and iNames like many other online games. I'd likely attribute this to the maturity of Eve players, and the lack of a significant apple-fanboy-playerbase.
As for if your name is capitalized or not, feel free to file a quick petition if you didn't capitalize it. |

I care to the point of spending quite some time (edit: if necessary) to find a name I like. I use "Riyria" in other games as well. It's a name I've read in a book once (not even the name of a person), which I liked the look of. That said, I am not especially attached to a specific name. If I couldn't use "Riyria" in some game I'd like to play, I'd just have to look for another name I like.
Only slightly related: EVE is the first game where I joined voice chat under this name, and I've noticed it's not completely intuitive how to pronounce it, haha. A corpmate of mine actually "rescued" me there, adressing me with a pronounciation I've adapted since then. |

I know how I'd pronounce your name. I'm not sure I'd be right, though, haha. Edit: I'd pronounce it U-nez-kah Tu-ree-gahl (I hope my notation makes sense.)
Aside from that: I do like creating names by juggling with letters and syllables. I usually prefer that over using names from other IPs as well. "Riyria" in my case is an exception. I felt it was alright as in that other IP it is not the name of a person, and I really liked the looks of it, hehe. I wouldn't call such "creative" names realistic, though.
Depending on the setting, names comprised of words can make sense, too, like in some fantasy settings the last names of elven races ("Silverleaf" or something like that). Or when the name is supposed to be a nickname, then something like "Quickdraw" can make sense, too. |

Seems like you got it right. Hard to be certain from writing. People seem prone to switching the z and e for some reason, saying UnZEKa. Or Une-Z'ka I guess. I dunno.
Its You Nez Kah. but Ooo Nez Kah doesn't sound terrible either. Definitely not Neez/Knees. People don't even attempt the last name but I think you got it right. Two Ree Gahl, not Ter (Turd. Turtle) Rye (bread) Gal (opposite of Guy).
I dunno if I'd get your name right. I'd say ReeRia. Wouldn't have known it was referencing another IP. Twinpeaks makes me think you're referencing your boobs.
I'm just tired of seeing boring and obvious Starseeker and such. Or lame Deathwing or Blackflame or whatever. Bleh. Sometimes I think it was a mistake for CCP to put in a selection of pre-generated names for each race. There are a ton of Tekitsus out there now. But I guess it's better than a ton of Starfarers. |

Yeah. Years pass and what was made up hastily long ago to fill the "character name" prompt for a throwaway trial sticks with you, generic and boring as it is. Pity there's no such thing as a name change service.
But still, better a Deathwing or Starseeker than a Sir Buttcheek Fapsworth or xXD3ath888Xx or some (usually misspelled because taken) Game of Thrones reference. |

True.
Speaking of Game of Thrones... watching interviews with George R. R. Martin, I don't like how he pronounces some of his own characters. I prefer the show's pronunciations.

Unfortunately the character name I really wanted was taken by a dead trial account a few months after the game launched: Ione Saldana :( From Russia with love. |

I would have gotten your name right, then :) And you mine, too! Aside from the Twinpeaks part... many people think that, and I can see why. I was just randomly remembering the old tv show "Twin Peaks", though, and thought it sounded nice. |

Not everyone got a freaking song named after them  QUOTE CCP Dolan and the EVE Online development team:-áThe battle was relatively even for some time with CFC and Russian forces holding moderate lead at first and only have a slight lead in Titan kills. Then came a turning point in the battle. Manfred Sideous, the initial Fleet Commander for PL/N3, handed over command to the CEO of Northern Coalition., Vince Draken |

Thibault Etienne Well I read in eve lore that gallente had long forgotten French origins. So I looked up a common French surname Etienne ahh says I now I need a first name. I watched a film once "Revenge" it had Kevin Costner and Anthony Quin being the gangster boss. He was called Tibby Mendez. kind of a soft name for a big hulking gangster. I thought it was well cool. So on my search for French first names. yep I found it. Thibault it was as close as I could get. |

I think in EVE, more than other games of its kind, what you do is much more important than your name. After all, what the heck is a "Mittani" and why is there a "The" in front of it? Same for "Chribba" and "Awox".. these have meaning to us because of the stories associated with them that are told over and over as part of EVE culture.
The Mittani were a culture in the Middle East that was known, pretty much, for getting curb-stomped by the Hittites. It makes me laugh every time I see his name in Eve. Writer of Target Caller, an Eve Online PvP blog, at http://targetcaller.blogspot.com |

Everytime I have to interact with someone who failed the most basic task of choosing a *name* ('AdjectiveNoun', 'TitleJoe', 'L33tx0r', 'ILikeBoobs') in an immersive multi-player game, I die a little inside. Plus I always assume they can't read without moving their lips or tie their shoe laces unaided. No offense meant, it's just how I feel about it.
So yeah, I care to that extend. |
