Mine sort of appeared in my head as I was staring at the form. I figured that since I'm female and enjoy D&D, it made some sense.

Since I just posted this in the Pub thread, I'll just copy it here:

The true story is simply that I have a bleeding heart for all those creatures killed and experimented upon en masse in modern science. Some people care only about the "cute" animals like rabbits or cats, I care equally of all creatures who can experince pain. At the same time, I'm pro the use of animals in science, but that doesn't mean I like it.
So, I have the habit of naming all my CRPG characters after this kind of creatures. My Diablo II sorceress was named Aplysia, a sea snail often used in neuroscience It's just a stupid way of sending a small thought for them.

This is a repeat of Chrissy's first thread

Anyway, I was couldn't decide wether to post or not to post here when I chose the name (I was on the brink of posting )

oops, sorry about repeating a topic, I should have checked.

No reason to be sorry.


My name comes from when I was in school.

@dragon wench-I don't think anyone would mind

I’ll repeat what I’ve said here as well:

My name is a Welsh "compound name composed of the elements 'gwalch' (hawk) and 'mai' (plain) or 'maedd' (a blow, battle). The name is borne in Arthurian legend by a nephew of King Arthur, his most distinguished and celebrated knight. (GWAHL-kmí)" [according to "A World of Baby Names" by Teresa Norman (1996, p.563)]

I thought it made a cool character name for BG2. Waverly believes that the name Gawain is a cognate of Gwalchmai, but someone else tells me that they are different. Nippy says there are some fantasy books out there with a character named Gwalchmai. None of these things were known to me at the time. I just thought it was cool.

Oddly, the reason I was looking in the Welsh section of the Baby Names book in the first place, was while my wife was pregnant with No. 2. We had given a Welsh middle name to our first (no, we have no Welsh ancestors), and were thinking about a repeat of the pattern. But, all I got was the character name. No other Welsh names struck our fancy for No. 2.

i use Leedogg on all of my internet stuff, so i thought why change it here!

Early.

When I first came to this message board, I was heavily involved in the item creating side of Baldur's Gate 2. I was playing with some names for a powerful +4 Bastard sword and I called it Elemental Vengeance. Running the ever-so-handy thesaurus, I discovered the word Vehemence, which means passionate fury.

So I liked it and chose Vehemence for my GB name

My name came from school. Nippy meaning fast which is exactly what I'm not. It is also something to do with my surname (Parsons).

Loner...'cause I am one

Loner, you're breaking my heart.

Gruntboy from my Quake2 days. I'm a Grunt and I'm a boy.

@Gruntboy-Marines are grunts too,right??

I have always used Kramor, my char. was a fighter. Then I switched to paladin.
