No fancy meanings, only a weird fascination with roman vowels. I liked the use of the æ vowel and wanted to make a name around it, eventually ended up with something that looked like a vaguely Roman name in terms of proper masculine ending.
Took me about seven years to realize it's two letters off from my actual given name...

It is? I know I don't really know Latin, but I'm trying to figure that out.
Everiine is a man, and is very manly. This MAN before you is so manly you might as well just gender bend right now, cause he's the manliest man that you ever did see. His manly shape has spurned many women and girlyer men to boughs of fainting. He stands before you in a manly manerific typical man-like outfit which is covered in his manly motto: "I am a man!"

Maligorn used to be a goat-furrikin, and when I made him I wanted him to be the really, really cold and pragmatic scientist type. So Mal (connotation of "bad") and "gorn" like goat horns.
then I realized, I'm really bad at roleplaying evil characters. so I let him go dormant for a while, picked him back up later, discreetly changed my desc and guildhopped. I'd say it's worked out well!

-o denotes most second declension nouns, which are usually masculine or neuter. Particularly it denotes the singular dative and ablative cases [indirect object and propositional object respectively].
If I wanted to be technical I would have gone with Maellius [which I think I actually did consider] for the nomative, but -o worked better.
Or I could have said it was third declension, whose nomative basically ends in... whatever [sometimes -x].
No... I haven't been declining his name now, who said that

As I recall, Pesukaru is a slight misspelling of "raccoon" in one of the Nordic languages.
A lot of names i use have double letters in them, like Llewell or Aania. That doesn't always mean if you see someone with double letters that it's me, mind you. I may or may not be Kelly.
Often, I'll pick an animal or concept/idea I want to base a character around, and then use some sort of online translator to figure out the word in an uncommon language, like Hungarian or something.
Everiine said: The reason population is low isn't because there are too many orgs. It's because so many facets of the game are outright broken and protected by those who benefit from it being that way. An overabundance of gimmicks (including game-breaking ones), artifacts that destroy any concept of balance, blatant pay-to-win features, and an obsession with convenience that makes few things actually worthwhile all contribute to the game's sad decline.

I started out the name with Silvanus on Starcraft(before WC3 Sylvanus). When I started that name, I can't remember where I got the name, SC1 came out when I was 12, it was before Wikipedia or Google(1998), and although Silvanus is mentioned in the Bible, I can guarantee you Starcraft-me had no idea of that. So it had to be from some book(or anything?) that I had read when I was younger, but I have no idea where I got that inspiration, I had just always used it as a go to name in any RP sense.

Alary was first an OC of mine, created for an anime I liked for a little bit to rp with. She was an insane, immortal, alcoholic, self-harming nutjob who ran drug cartels and messed with the NYPD in the worst way. She did what she had to, especially to get what she wanted. Her name is Alary Nacht, she's a crossdresser, so I wanted a nuetral name. Alary is a male german name and it means Elfen. When making an alt for Kuailong to relearn the game, i just rehashed Alary and plastered the personality on the character.
There were other plans in store for her, and now Kuailong is my alt.

That means Leolamin is back open as a name, right?

Morkarion is a character I've used in a couple of other games/RPG scenarios before now, it goes back to my Death Knight in WoW who as a Blood Elf was Mortarion, a slight play on the Primarch of the Death Guard from WH40k, when I race changed him to Orc he became Morkarion, and it stuck since.
Karlach was going on Orclach tradition of -lach suffixes and taking part of the Morkarion name, Morlach sounded kinda crap so I went with the middle syllable.
The divine voice
of Avechna, the Avenger reverberates powerfully, "Congratulations,
Morkarion, you are the Bringer of Death indeed."
You see Estarra the Eternal shout, "Morkarion is no more! Mourn the mortal! But welcome True Ascendant Karlach, of the Realm of Death!
Turnus was the primary potential suitor of Lavinia
Ha, found that very amusing!
Lavinya came from Lavinia, a character in a book I was reading that I liked the sound of. She was actually the name of an Aes Sedai character I roleplayed on Dragonmount (forum based rp) and just yoinked the name over and based the Lusternia character on her namesake.
Also this: Lavinia, in Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus, is the daughter of Titus, and is raped and butchered by the sons of the Gothic queen.[2]
Just saying!
Apropos of this...if you haven't seen Titus Andronicus performed, I highly recommend the 1999 movie Titus featuring Anthony Hopkins and Jessica Lange directed by Julie Taymor. It features the most EVIL character I have ever seen depicted in any media, Aaron the Moor. And he is fantastic.
Fair warning: the movie is highly symbolic and has HBO style nudity.
I remember seeing the banquet clip in a lecture about Shakespeare. The lecturer was like 'Okay, this is gonna get bloody...those who can't stand it may leave the room.' Of course, nobody left, but some people actually looked slightly shocked. (I couldn't watch all of it, so I rather studied the faces of my classmates). But I agree, it's a pretty interesting adaption of the play.
Viravain, Lady of the Thorns shouts, "And You would seize Me? Fool! I am the Glomdoring! I am the Wyrd, and beneath the cloak of Night, the shadows of the Silent stir!"
When I played achaea, I liked the ideas of runes and the runewardens and such, so I made a name with 'rune' in it. Ended up joining the occultists though :P
Then I game hopped when lusternia opened, and I wasn't feeling creative and just brought the name over, figuring I'd end up making another character anyway.
Whenever I recall your name, @Acrune, I always think of Patrick Star. Because of oldforums.

The name Irillia was adapted from Trillillial, because I wanted to make a trill character and somehow decided that the best way to make a quintessentially trill name was by drawing inspiration from the name of the goddess who splintered into trills in the first place. (It wasn't until much later that someone pointed out that I could have looked at the histories of the Taint Wars and used the names of trill Board members for inspiration.) I tried a few variations and liked the way "Irillia" rolled off the tongue, so I went with that.
Thyelleia comes from θύελλα, the ancient Greek word for storm and in some cases one of the three harpies. And since Thy is an aeromancer, I thought that it would fit
I was fiddling around with the name generator while trying to decide whether to relearn the game as an ancient char, or relearn it as a new char and Nimrodel popped up (it might have been off by a letter). I was amused, and decided to run with it, hopeing that it would be mild enough of a reference that I'd get away with it. I got smacked to name change, switched to something else, decided I hated the new name, almost suicided, but went back to namegen, and ended up settling happily on Nimhuire.

You know, it took me a hot minute to figure out why you'd been smacked to change it. It sounds pretty out loud, with the long O sound.

Clearly this is relevant, and I also liked how it rolls smoothly of the tongue with how I pronounce it, "el-ih-ron."
