              My in-game name is Reikouki.

              Pronounced Ray-Koh-Key...at least that's how I like it to be pronounced. Everyone thinks that it's like Reicookie. Some people even call me cookie. :]

              I forgot what it means, and now I'm just used to it cause I've had it for so long.

              Thanks to Roguewolf for the sig. :D

                  Ne-ji-ko

                  Neh-gee-co (as in coke). A friend of mine took the name "Neji" in a RPG we ran awhile ago, so I decided to make a child from him, and added ko onto the end of my name (meaning Child of Neji). Simple. yes.

                  Hah.

                      I've given the Hantz explanation enough times; it's boring anyway.

                      My brother's character (Runetooth) came from dream he had. He was a child again, but it was his job to take the souls of dying children to heaven. All the kids in heaven called him Rubee Runetooth over and over.

                      My cousin (Jurgen) pulled that out of his butt. He wanted something that sounded German I guess.

                      I let my brother-in-law make a mule on my account that he has played a grand total of 3 times in about 6 months. He named it Oderus, which I thought was a stupid mispelling of 'odorous,' but later found out it was a member of GWAR, his favorite group. >.<

                        Kumei was chosen to have something of a double-meaning.

                        It's a shortening of kuumei:
                        空名 【くうめい】 (n) empty name; false reputation

                        This was meant to subtly suggest that there was more to the character's identity than the circumstances seemed to indicate, and also speaks to her tendency to maintain an image of herself that covers up her insecurities (though this hasn't been highlighted as much as I intended since most of her RP interactions have been with Kamiel, for whom she doesn't have to maintain such an image).

                        It's also meant to suggest a connection to moogles, as this is a key part of a major background spoiler.

                        Ku as in Kupo, mei pronounced like May. Despite the elongated u in the original word, the name is pronounced with the accent on the last syllable (though if for instance you're used to Japanese, pronouncing it without an accented syllable is also perfectly fine).

                        Koren was largely picked as a common name (without being so common as to be likely already taken). I think there's a meaning for it but I can't find my names book right now.

                        Nya Mohrreh was essentially just an attempt to come up with something that sounds reasonably like a name a cat might choose. Think about the sounds a cat would make in terms of how to pronounce it.

                          Luna, not to be picky, but that's actually Kuumei...

                            Mine is pronounced exactly the way it's spelled & it's basically an homage to a woman I used to know. I've gotten the "Hey Joon where's Benny?" line several times.

                              I've always felt that "Hantz" was similar to the end of "Reservoir Dogs."

                              Edit: To clarify, that means I join a group of strangers, nobody is sure what's going on, and everyone ends up dead.
                              Now I'm scared to accept any party invites from you

                              Vyuru, pronounced Vyuru mostly because I have no idea, I actually got it from the FFXI random name generator since all the other names I wanted were already taken, I'm still looking for the person who took Lenneth -.-


                              You have the right to remain silent, anything you say can and will be misqouted and then used against you.

                              I don't have a big ego, it just has a large mouth.
