Although mine is history influenced and then just random, its got a record of never being taken at many sites. Xircso lives on! and if you think its hard to pronounce, its with a Z sound, not X (like Xerxes, good reference right? LOL) im one of those people who always chooses the same one wherever I go, just not creative to come up with a new nickname and too short a memory to keep track.

I for one have reasons for this nick and the old one I used to have, it's sort of an antagonism really... but we'll leave that for another day.

That's something you wouldn't find out if you immediately lumped them into the "don't want to associate with you" category. Not that anyone is suggesting that.

You get the same thing searching for 'Scrivs'. I try my best not to communicate with people that use names that you can't say. Take for example '!~~!' from an IRC channel I visit, how the hell can you explain that to someone if they ask you what your doing? I wouldn't dare say it aloud.

(of course, one just stands next to the mailbox in darnassus and mails stuff to me). The other two I chose names for, but I've never really played any except my mail, Lauran... which in retrospect wasn't the wisest choice of name, since any number of dimwits think it's "Lauren" and assume I'm a woman... but it sounded close to Lorren which is a nice elfish name, and I play a night elf, so... When writing, I sometimes use a name generator, sometimes just use combinations and modifications of words from the language a friend of mine created when she was younger... they're fairly short on hard sounds and make for good fantasy-type names.

Evil Eye sort of what it means. The literal translation isn't the reason I chose it. In El Salvador it is used to describe someone who's gone off the deep end and has a crazy look in their eye. arrrrrrrgh ;-) “mal de ojo” is one I often use… Evil Eye sort of what it means.

Seems to work so far as I have never came across a time where those names were already taken. I usually pull my names from my favorite fantasy books.
