What's the story of how you came up with your Graalian name? Doesn't matter if it's too simply or too complex.



My story of how I got my Graalian name, Vlad, is from a book I read before I started playing Graal called "Vladimir Todd". Yeah, Vlad isn't my real life name, for those who thought it was.  

My name began when I started off the game, January 20th 2010, as Adam. Then, I started exploring different names such as smiley face, and finally I decided on Lord  

Ryan the whole time. Its my real name  

So my first name was KillerRed09(KR09)
I used KR09 from my ps2 online days. It was Killer ed 09 before but people called me KR09 so I just went with that. When I joined graal KR09 was the name.
I think in november Pimpsy was doing hide n seek for the body head and hat for the Santa Claus look he made. I remember it was North Of Graal which is Mod town in the guild house crap building.

I joined Cruxis a few weeks later since Aikan asked if I wanted to join. At the time I used KR09 for my ipod account and used my iphone account since it ran better than a ipod 2gen. I was Santa Claus. So most people just knew me of Santa Claus and not from KR09.
So I just kept it like that and so far been about a year and few months since I kept it.  

Pretty sure a few other threads have been made about this. But whatevs.

I don't even know how I came up with my name anymore, I've had it for awhile and just forgot how it came about, my name irl isn't even close to Simons... Come to think of it I don't know how I came up with any other names I've used in games.  

I started off as MrBaghead, but on a different forums (playhaven) I was known as a stranger since the game had a very tight knit community, and that's what I used for Graal. There was little of anything that I could do to represent my username in way, (Sure the paper bag head, but it just didn't fit.) So within 3 months of trying to find the perfect name for my character, I loved Zen as it means peace, with all the chaos in Graal. I came up with the name of Zenumist, if any maplestory players understand. I put valiskar, a made up word using stems from my 8th grade honors english teacher, val meaning brave, and ar meaning relating to. valar was too boring, so I added a few letters to make it look "cool". That's the origins of Zenumist Valiskar or Zen.  

My original graal name: 'Meteorohobia' is my Xbox live name. I made this my name on xbl because I wanted to join a stupid clan or something and the dood was like "u have 2 make ur gamertag a legit phobia." All the cool ones were taken so I was forced to pick Meteorphobia.  

When I first started playing Graal I started with the name "Link." Ya, original, I know. Eventually though I started playing less and developing more. As I developed and started getting more involved with the community(forums), and starting playing very little, I felt like it would be best to try to set apart my name from others. So I sat and tried to come up with a nice name no one else would probably share. Dusty is what I came up with. Don't recall the "trigger" for that name, though.  

I went through many different names in my early graal days. I forget most of them.  

Isaac. My real name.  

Long ago, I started off as bboy599. I liked the term "bboy" even though I had no relevancy to the hobby, and my birthday was 5/21/1999.

When I got into iClassic, I tried a variety of names and ended up with simply "Bboy." After awhile, I was introduced to someone who I ended up growing somewhat close to (I guess you could say close?), Skittles Eatsbacon. We oddly became 'facebook brother and sister', thus I adapted the 'Eatsbacon' name. From herein, I was known as Bboy Eatsbacon.

Once it came around to choosing a community name, I found that it could only be one word, therefore I had to merge Bboy and Eatsbacon into BboyEatsbacon. It wasn't all that appealing at first, but I grew into it pretty naturally.

Pretty short story, actually.  

Raptors are my favorite class of animals.  

I'm a New Zealander and at the time there were no members named Kiwi that I could find.  

My dog's name is amigo. He is furry.  

I used to use my rl name in game but it was kinda common and I wanted a name that I can use to stand out from others and people would remember me by. Then I saw that advert about Car Insurance, think it's called Admiral Insurance UK, and I just went with Admiral.
