I'm trying to think of a good name for an alt.
How did you come up with your name?

Mine was the call sign from the old mech warrior 2 days, part of the Iron Wolves Lance, I was the xo in that lance and it was fun days. To bad I've only meet one of my old squad mates since then.

Ahh Battletech, yeah I was big into that for a long time.
As for my own name, I was trying to think of a kind of "cyber" type of name, like something having to do with hacking or electronics, because original thought was I was gonna be a covert ops recon pilot, or specialize in ewar.
So I started going through wikipedia reading about technology, and stumbled on Encryption.
Cipher - an algorithm used to encrypt or decrypt a message.
7 - number often associated with God.
Message from God - You know like the Blues Brothers "We're on a mission from God"
I know that all sounds convoluted and weird but hey it makes sense to me.

I,, uh,, made mine up.
That is, Kylar Renpurs, Jmanis Catharg, Taila Nhrodda, J'nar Meetrich, Nikla Uthaan and Jeramon Castro.
I dunno, I just picked names which rolled off the tounge easy, thought how they'd be spelt, and made sure they fit the image.

This might sound bad but it was about 5-6 years ago when i chose mine,it was origionally"goodby2u"(yes,misspelled in its glory)I decided on this because a group of friends of mine at the time thought it was the best one,so then I started my account on runescape with this.
I changed it to goodby4u as I made an account before that I screwed over and it was caldari which I hated so this was the closest thing.
And yes at 12 I was a little stupid boy who didnt know how to speel"bye"

Lord Evangelian - His name is "Evan Gelian", but you can't have three spaces, so I put lord in front so that my alt Lady Evangelian can be used also.

Mangala is an ancient name for the planet Mars and solaris just has a nice ring to it.
All my alts bar two share the solaris surname and have a Mars thematic first name: Hellas; Echus; Arsia; Pavonis; Angaraka;
Areos Aster - means Star of Mars. A new pvp alt I have setup for the Red V Blue thing thats knocking around the boards.
Ammik - an industrial alt I grabbed from an old friend.

Pick n choose. Although there is a character who has been part of an npc corp for three years, and I'm hoping is inactive - I wonder if I'd be able to talk to the GMs about getting that name...

I choose Steel, and since this was EVE I wanted a first name to go with it. I dont have much imagination so I copied the name from a girl in my school with the same surname. I now regret picking such a 'girly' name.
Alts are called Jenova and Aeris with the same surname.

A long, long time ago, when I first started playing Warhammer 40k I was trying to come up with a catchy name for my farseer...Screwed around with letters until I found a name that just looked good on paper. "Tydraad." Was my first character, two characters later slapped "Karyuudo" in front of it. Means something in a different language to the equivalent of "hunter" IIRC. Looks like romanized Japanese. I'm...not really happy with it. :(
I secretly hope that someday CCP will implement name changing and I'll be able to switch it to "Addison Caine." Have an alt reserving the name, just in case...

Got the toon from a friend who had to stop playing. His nickname was 'Franga' due to his surname being 'Frangos' - which is Greek. However, where I live (Australia) the word is also slang for a condom.
So believe whichever story you wish.

Same here. Most of my nicks have been related to Mars for some time now.
Noachis Terra, Ophir Chasma, Isidis Planitia, Tharsis Montes,... There is a heap of good names up there. ^_^
