What did you name YOURSELF and why?
James T. Kirk:
There are some pretty interesting names out there, and I'm curious as to where the came from.
If it's the same name you use for all your online stuff, don't just say that. Say why.
If it's a name from something, say where and why you picked it.
I'll start:
James T. Kirk. Like from Star Trek. Into Darkness reminded me of how much I loved the original series, and I happened to see the movie right before I bought the game, so Kirk seemed like the best option.
I wish I could say something about how I (personally) identify with Kirk, how I'm some unorthodox problem solver and great leader, but it all started as a joke.
I got three of my friends to join in, and James T. Kirk, M. Scotty, Mr. Spock, and checkov ran around the Enterprise for a few weeks.
Like the story always seems to go, they've all faded away, but for whatever reason, I've stayed.
N-Sunderland:
My name's Nick Sunderland. I'm terrible with usernames. Really terrible.
Eukari:
A few years ago, playing World of Warcraft, I played a gnome Death Knight named "Europa." I've always loved two things- Japanese and good naming conventions for alts. I wanted to name a new character Yukari, but it was already taken. I hit upon the idea of combining the two names, so people would know it was me- Eukari was born.
Much later, I dug up the name for a new character on a new server, and loved it because it set up so many names for alts- Eukiko, Eukasa, Eukimi, etc. When I decided to come back to GoIO, it was a natural fit.
I like it because it's pretty unique, sounds pretty and people don't seem to have too much trouble remembering it. Plus, it's an actual name, and not like xXxSkullK1ll3r666xXx or something equally repulsive.
Captain Smollett:
My first impressions of GOI, from watching gameplay videos prior to purchasing the game, reminded me heavily of 18th century nautical combat, so I thought a nautical themed name would be best.
Since I had just recently read Treasure Island, and fancied I'd like to eventually pilot a glorious airship, I thought I'd name myself after the Pilot of the mighty Hispaniola, Captain Smollett.
This may or may not have also been heavily influenced by the greatest movie ever made which I'm far to old to have ever enjoyed when it was released; Muppets Treasure Island.
I was soon after joined by my still serving first mate, Mr. Arrow Cptl Fello who may or may not have been influenced from similar sources.
Letus:
Ahaha...haha...ha
this name goes back 14 years almost.......the backstory would be too immense for here...
