Every name tells a story, what's yours?

[Rasp]

My name is Carlos. I draw webcomics.

That's the spirit~!!

[nrgcomics]

Our name is reference to our publishing company, NRG Comics. Our goal is to create the next big superhero universe! We actually have out latest issue 0 here on Tapas:

Zener: Master of the Mind :: Zener: Master of the Mind Issue 0 | Tapas

And we'll be doing a Indiegogo for the first follow in a few weeks.

[Zemoore]

Mine is based off my first OC like ever. I Used his name as a pen name for sometime on other novel sites but i wanted something more poppy for comics.

So on books it was down a Z. Moore. Now I go by Zemoore.

[Possum]

I'm really obsessed with American animals. I'm from the UK but used to live in Romania and honestly, despite coming into contact with bears and wolves and my family owning a wolfdog, I really just love Possums. They're so damn cute, like yeah they look like rats, but they're just so cute.

Also they're really misunderstood creatures, they kill tics, they can't have rabies, they're incredibly docile and refuse to bite people. They also carry their babys on their back and it's just the cutest thing.
Racoons are cool too because they have that attitude, but possums are just yeah, cute as heck!

[MK_Wizard]

Honestly, they were pre-existing characters in the original cast, but then, I researched common names in London, England back in the Victorian age in Jekyll and Hyde.

[Nail]

My actual name actualy means "The one who owns the world" but this is a widely spread misconception since in old Slavic the word for "world" actually has second meaning which is "a word", "an agreement", so technically my name means "the one who keeps his word/ fulfills the agreement". I use a variation of my actual name as a surdo name in some of my accounts. And about "Nail"... When I was at uni I've found a handforged nail at remnanats of old landowner masions (built about at 1890's, I believe) so I made a necklace with that nail and some people began to call me Nail. This was the nick name I used when started publishing my writing the first time a loong time ago (in my time scale).

[ivanskilling]

My current ID is a pen name: Ivan Skilling.

For me, it was a matter of choosing a pen name that would fit the genre (thrillers and science fiction) and my book material (Also had to choose a male-sounding name which is not my gender! ). I think I went through a couple of iterations and googled each pen name to see whether someone already had it. In the end, I think someone did have this name but they weren't famous. So I settled with it.

[AbelDraws]

Mine is pretty simple. I'm Isabel, but Isa was not available anywhere (nor any cool variation) so I went for Abel c:

[Nail]

And the -Dom part is well just the first three letters of my name.

So this is YOU, DOMESTICUS!? I have finaly found you!!!

[snowy]

Friend of mine fictionalised me as a character in his fantasy story, and that was the name he picked for me.

And then I got brutally murdered in chapter 21. Yikes.

[Kiweevil]

Kiweevil = kiwi + weevil

Skyla Tapiti is not my legal name, but what I go by online. And it does have hidden meaning, with the first and last name each being derived from other words in other languages. In the simplest of terms, it means "hidden rabbit", though it has other underlying meanings as well.

I won't give my real name but I will tell you I was named after a brand of speakers. I guess I was a loud baby.

[CarltonIsaac]

My parents honeymooned at the Carlton Hotel, or so I've heard.

[PapaDom]

(W-WHAT IMPOSSIBLE!! How did he figured it out?!
Quick come up with something!)
H-hey buddy. How's it going?

[tchotchkeco]

A "Tchotchke" is normally considered a worthless bauble/object with no value. My partner loved doing art all of the time but was pretty much always told how it was useless. So we ironically just took the name. Since we're also a team we just go under the name TchotchkeCo. It's now our collab name. We do have our own personal users. (ModdedDrew and Die_Heiden_Art)

[CarltonIsaac]

Also had to choose a male-sounding name which is not my gender! )

Whoo-boy! I do so too (the other way) when I'm selling a specific genre on Amazon. Heh heh!

[Nail]

Oh, wait... actually his name was Dominic... yeah... Wrong man. Anyway, sorry dude, have a nice day.
Bu he... he'll pay for my gladioluses some day! He'll fertilize his pant seeing me at his porch saying: "Hey Dom, do you remember me? I'm the man who knows your name. And I'm just a gardener... a gardener without gladioluses". "Don't do it" - he'll plea. And I won't. Because I'm nice person... which in a passively aggressive way will make him think that he is, and he'll suffer till the end of his days.

[Kelheor]

Kelheor is a surname of one of my characters It consists of two distorted words from German and French, and means "golden chalice". It is also a vampire clan surname and takes its origins in how this particular clan became vampires.
The H letter is not silent

[K-Rexo_Deactivated]

I know I said this in another thread but here's what my robot character's name means:

Game: put your comic/novel title as pictures only!

But seriously, his name has letters that derive from the Turkish word, "Korumak" which translates to "protect" and "safeguard". He was patented in Turkey after all.

Rexo's a buffed-up dinosaur dressed up as a generic superhero that's in a future comic.

[pilot-obvious]

I chose mine when those Captain Obvious jokes were popular in the late 00s/early 10s. But I also liked planes and aviation, so I kind of mixed the two together. I thought it was fun and it's just kind of stuck throughout the years. I don't plan on changing it for a long time.

[spadedigsbutts]

You have EXCELLENT taste in animals
