I also wanted something mellifluous for Magic. This^^ is what really knocked me out. I have a pet Meeroo, the daughter of one named after me. She's still in my inventory but she'll find her place once I have time to get my little plot better organized. The thing is, she already has a name: Mellifluous. She's named for the singing voice of a friend, and I call her 'Mel' for short.:smileyhappy: Ahh Dillon I still have 3 Meeroos. Happy, JoJo ( Back a few post is JoJo.

Ishtara Rothschild Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Ishtara was originally my Sociolotron character Ishtara Darkwell, and later her transsexual daughter Ishtara Nyx (it's not possible to pick a T-girl in Socio right from the start, one has to procreate in order to father or conceive one. It's a pretty weird and twisted game, but that's exactly what made it so much fun). The name is inspired by the Babylonian sex / love / fertility goddess Ishtar. I googled "Ishtara" back in the day and it didn't turn up any results, so I thought the name would be and remain unique. Alas, it caught on (or other people had the same idea) and there are now 40k Google hits My first SL character back in 2005 was Ishtara Dougall. I picked the name because it reminded me of my original Socio surname Darkwell. But I didn't stay for long back then because SL looked too goofy and RP-unfriendly with its weird typing animations and unrealistic flight and teleport abilities. When I returned in 2006 because all my friends in Socio were praising the scripted adult content and lively BDSM scene in SL, I had forgotten my password and created Ishtara Rothschild in a hurry, a decision I've since come to regret. Not only didn't I have the slightest idea who the Rothschild family is, it's also a pain in the tush to type this name at the login screen I always type Rotschild for some reason. I wish I had a shorter and catchier name, like my Indian alt Shanti Ra. Or something cute, like my bunny girl Flopsy Murfin, whose name was inspired by Limp Bizkit.

Ishtara Rothschild Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Um, Flopsy is a bunny-eared SL alt, not an RL pet bunny It just occured to me that "bunny girl" could be misread. My RL pets (cats) have rather unimaginative names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mayalily Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Nothing special, just wanted something with May or Mae in it, but most were taken, until I tried May with my favorite flower, which is a Lily. I had never heard of the Maya software until I visited SL forums, so my username is a complete coincidence to the Maya software. Cute thread. Had fun reading about everyone's name and how it came about. Loved the marijuana reason as said by someone... too funny! But, I will add that Lily is my favorite name for a girl, and if I had a daughter, Lily would be her name, so I guess that is special, although I have no daughter.

Dana Hickman Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 No story at all behind my AV name and picking it was as easy as it gets... it's my RL first name and the last name sounded like it went with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShyBirdShy Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 My friends gave me my nickname in real life. Shybird, so I added the shy to the end of it since shybird was already taken. I HIGHLY regret this avie name. I wish SL had an option to change it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maia007 Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Cool topic :womanhappy: I named my avatar Maia007 (no, am not really an ultimate fan of James Bond), like I'd always tell people -- it was an "accident" that I placed double zeros beside my avi's name. I actually just wanted it to be Maia7 (7 is my favorite number) and, well, Maia is one of my favorite names :womanwink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazler Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 I wanted a male name with no numbers and so sat with a dictionary of babies names and tried them one by one, without success. It seemed that all simple male names had been taken. After a half hour or so I started typing male nicknames at random and found to my astonishment that "Dazler" had not been taken.

Aili Panthar Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 I picked a name thats short, uncommon and sounds cute. It's a name found in Korea, China, Japan (Airi), Finland, Lappland, Ireland, Estonia, so it's kind of ethnically ambiguous and international. "Panthar" sounded best from the list of surnames that was generated. I had never heard of Gorean before joining SL so I was totally unaware the surname "Panthar" would have connotations of wild, half naked, man hating warrior babes living in the jungle. But that's cool, too lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victoria1488304562 Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 It's just my favorite name. I like the Victorian era, particularly writers like Dickens, George Eliot, Thomas Hardy, Henry James... and then on the other hand, I admire Victoria Beckham. I tried in the past to get a Victoria-named avatar, but it seemed that there was already a Victoria for every last name that I tried. Right after I got this name, someone offered me a thousand lindens for the account. Even if it wasn't against the rules, there is no way I would have sold it (especially for such a paltry sum as that!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
