JEDI Comport

I was sitting on a little grassy verge at college today watching the traffic go past and talking to my friends when suddenly, a van went past with "NIVEK" written on the side. After a few moments of "Wait... what?" I started thinking, did Niveks name come from a van? So heres a place to post the story behind your name, assuming you have one. I'll start with mine.

I came up with Raltharon ages ago and was absolutely gobsmacked when I heard it mentioned in JA. As for the Damara part, I always played as the character Damarus whenever I played Unreal Tournament 2003 and liked the name, it just needed some tweaking.

Cyril is Greek in origin. I liked the name and I was looking for an old, classical name for my character that could pass as a SW name. As my chosen species had little representation in canon, I had great freedoms with this.

Feraan...of my own invention..or perhaps it was from a name generator.

One of my favorite singers was the man in black Johnny Cash, Jon Cash, Yon Vash makes sense right?

Syrena was created from the mythological creature 'siren', the bird women who used their song to lure men to their deaths. As a reminder, her name is said sounding the same way. Siren-uh. With her pheromones, I thought it was a bit appropriate. As for her last name, some of you know I have a character I used before I joined JEDI, Darth Azatha, who is related to Syrena. Her last name, her name before she got her Sith name, was Exan. Exanimate comes from the word exanimate, meaning inanimate, lifeless, spiritless, or disheartened. Azatha's Sith name was derived from Athazaphobia: the fear of being left alone and forgotten.

Jude because , I like the song Hey Jude a lot,

Alkorda, I dunno, I just made it up, it sounded good, I had no idea there were two other guys with it.

Jamus Kevari was a completely custom invention of my own mind.

Well I looked at other Cerean names like Ki-Adi-Mundi and just made up three random words that fitted the Cerean sound and sounded good together.

Then other people stole my name.... Del, Tel even Kael is to close to Kel for my liking.....

Ctathos Ederoi, properly placed, is Ederoia'Ctathos. Meaning Angel of Chaos.

Alkur Tekeil is a "custom" name based on Adarian name structure, though the "Alk" part is obviously a derivative from Alkaiser Aruladan.

Alkaiser Aruladan came from two things- Alkaiser is the name of the super hero alter ego of Red, a character from Saga Frontier for PlayStation. Aruladan was a name I used for my Warrior on Diablo for Battle.net.

And now the magic is gone...

Yrael was a name picked from Life. Meaning "Enjoying Life to much to see it destroyed" and Grekkis was just a slur of the tounge I liked

...That wouldn't be something from H.P. Lovecraft, would it? O_o

Arik's name came from 2 EU characters

Atrux is latin for grim....i dont know what nuro means....fien-and-harp is the basic lorrdian name structure so yeah...

Gabe is my RL name. Alkorda I stole from Corinth. When I created Jude's char (back when he was just a char in my journal, when Jude was Hal), I called him Jude because i like the name plus i like "Hey Jude". Judas became Gabe's middle name after the fact. It's also a bit ironic now that I think of it... Judas the betrayer.. .Gabe betrayed the Jedi... hmmm...

Evil!!! (( EDIT : No more of this kind of messages. ))

Ok, Simus because I was looking at Star Wars names on Wikipedia and came across Simus. It reminded me of reading Lord of the Flies in 10th grade, and a cute girl in the class told me that I looked how she pictured the character Simon to look. I almost just took the name Simon, but thought that Simus sounded more sci-fi.

Then I wanted a name that rolled off the tongue. I randomly thought of Cnydaria and thought Simus Cnydaria flowed. For the record, Cnidaria is an animal phylum that includes sea creatures such as jelly fish and cubozoans.
