Where did you come up with your knight's name? Maybe this should go in gremlin chatter... please let me know, which I know you will, if it should.

Well,

I came up with my main, Flamsthrone's, name because... uh... I think I was reading a book about fire and some king at the time?

Bamzalot

Bam Z Alot

I have a book that contains a list of characters I created and a bunch of details about each and every one of them. Well, it's still being worked on.

My most important character's name is Bam, which is my real name's full initials. His middle name is Zero, and his last name is Alot. (It's pronounced differently, think of it as Alelot.) So I mash all the names together and ended up with Bamzalot. Yep, a bomber name that has absolutely nothing to do with bombs! But I still like them.

Sipsy

Van-Winkle

Van-Winkle : I had a sudden urge to make to make a character named this, no idea why. I didn't even read / or know that Rip Van Winkle was a book/story thing till half a year after I named my knight that.

Pithless : Orange ( Personal colour ), the pith that no one likes, Less = without, Pithless = Without Pith. ( It also means weak/without strength, but let's not go there or I'll knock you out when you're sleeping )

Hexzyle

I wanted something original, for two reasons: 1. I'm sick of seeing people in games with numbers at the end of their names. 2. I wanted something that you could Google and wouldn't get confused with anything. Before I appeared on the net, the results for HexZyle only came up with two "did you mean hexyl" obscure science articles.

The exact method for the creation of my name was Head + Keyboard and try to make words out of the letters. (to be precise, I took a stylus to a Nintendo DS keyboard)
Added in vowels and such to make it not a clstrfk to say, and threw a "x" in there too because I love language quirks, especially rarely used (hipster) letters.

Midnight-Dj

The name originates from a Chinese hip-pop song's lyric, don't bother asking the original lyric, it has been conviniently translated for you.

I am the Midnight-DJ , come and feel my music, happy time wouldn't be wasted ~

Avenger-Of-Troy

For my main (Blazer-Of-Troy)

I was thinking... Hmmm what should I name this character (of a game I'll probably hate and forget about (This did not happen.))?
Hmm... Maybe... Helen-Of-Troy? Taken... Err... Blazer-Of-Troy seems good enough.
Drakon: Flame-Of-Troy Drakon is firiey so y'know.
Seraphynx: Angel-Of-Troy Sera looks like an angel.
Maskeraith: Shadow-Of-Troy Second attack.
Black Seraphynx: Ghoul-Of-Troy(I think) Just LOOK at it!
Steam Alt: Avenger-Of-Troy. Avenger sounded good, so whatever...

It came from the legendary inspiration of making a name that resembled the word Virus.
Big was my shame and dissappointment when I found out that there's an antivirus with almost the same name as mine but with an A instead of an I at the end.

Skepticraven

↓

Once upon a midnight dreary, I joined the internet community.
Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December, when the internet requested— A username, and nothing more.
Presently my soul grew stronger; hesitating then no longer, "SkepticRaven", typed I, "and my password, which is not 'Lenore'."
Startled at the stillness broken by reply so aptly spoken, "Bot or Human?" queried the terminal.
This I sat engaged in guessing, but no syllable expressing— Neither, I thought. Corvus corax, a grim, ungainly, ghastly, gaunt, and ominous bird of yore.
This it is and nothing more.

The papaya got his username from

Well, I've always hated people who have numbers in their names, it bugs me, a lot. "X" is the first letter of my last name, no idea why I decided to use it twice, and I'm still building a time machine so I can go back to my 11 year old self and ask him why I chose the papaya out of all things.

It was comical day I had at school and I decided to try this new game called spiralknights suggested by my friends. At school I was reading death note manga keep in my I was in grade 6. Anyways I did all the make account stuff and made the account then I couldn't decide on a name. Then I was like manga and I was like nah. So I was like let's derp this and call this little guy Comics cause Comic doesn't roll off the tongue and was an easy name for people to type so yeah.

Krakob

My father has called me Jakob Krakob my entire life so I figured that makes for a neat online alias. I'd say Krakob feels more like my name than Jakob does nowadays. There are lots of other Jakobs but there can be only one Krakob.

TF2? Sorry, nope...

Contrary to what many people believe, my name is not based off of TF2 and the famous "pootis" word. My name was supposed to be a nicer way of saying 'screw this'. It kinda just stuck for me. Plus, screw and poo rhyme :P

Glacies

My name is Latin for Ice as I have a thing about the Latin language and cool names. Though people seem to think that it's a joke off of Glacius.

In which case my original name would have been Acies (Latin: Edge) but was taken. Because Latin is fun.

Heavy-Duty

...

My wanted name was Sirsteel (the Cobalt series knight on one of the ads reminded me of a favorite Fakemon named Sirsteel and thought to go with it). However, for some reason or another, I went with Heavy-Duty as I wanted to focus on the heavy defensive side of the game (I didn't even know there was one or lack thereof). I also go with Euroclydon (an ancient storm), Keepsafe, and Travelis.

Abelisk

I was searching for the funniest names I could find and I found Killerhotness to be the safest out of the ones listed.

For my forum user Itsmeandersonlol, I used "It's me, Mario!" and swapped it with Anderson (why did I use Anderson?) and added lol for no reason.

Or, people think my name is magical. "It's me and erson lol", or "its mean derson lol", or backwards it reads "lolnosrednaemsti"
