[QUOTE="Lylandra, post: 8071382, member: 6816692"] Oh my names... One of my first serious characters in an RPG was a woman named Mirai, which is japanese for "future" as she was the last female member of her people and the game was loosely based on the FF series. Also played a character called Amao Rufuran Tesla, accountant by day, elemental monk by night. This was while I had my physics courses in school and well before a certain Elon Musk popularized the name. My very first D&D character was a bard by the name of Sensiba, inspired by the island of Zanzibar. Nickname quickly became "sensible" or "Sense/Sensy" after she joined the Sensate faction. after that came: [LIST] [*]Laurethiel, a gold elf wizard (Gool ol' Tolkien elf naming scheme) [*]one noble girl called Eleanor (nickname El, inspired by an aunt of mine named Ellinor) and the paladin Sir Sirius ("Sir Serious") - perfect examples from the OP [*]Rosalin, cleric of Chauntea, with a perfectly normal, down-to-earth name [*]Kala Maeva Vel'Erim, my first take on an asmodean cleric (inspired by the artist Maevah) [*]a Cormyrean wizard by the name of Mearyll (nickname "Raven" for her raven familiar Kay) [*]Kiraley of the Order of the Scarlet Rose, a fighter, usually called Kira [*]Ashelia, my second take on an asmodean divine character (this time an oracle).
