when i was a child I would go to bed at night and act outr this great adventure story to keep myself entertained till i felt sleepy. Once i decided to write a novel about what i had created i needed a name for my character.
In texas history one day a friend and i were goofing off trying to think of cool fantasy names. We somehow started taking real names and spelling them backwards. My seemed really cool...
Robey row-be my real name became Yebor Yay-Bore my fantasy name
from then on I would have at least one character named yebor in any game or rpg i would play
Heck if I was playing A final fantasy game i would even take the name of my current g/f turn it around and use it
siri harobed annaed irret
hell i still do it
any numers i use before or after are merely becausethe particular server will tell me a previous yebor variation has beeen used.

jedabi. Interesting. Wiezoreck is from the Ender books (Ender's father's name). A friend of mine and I, when chatting online or sending emails, will spell each other's names backwards. It's the last names that sound so funny. Posts: 667 | Registered: Aug 2003

I got Scythrop from a novel I studied at Uni called Nightmare Abby and Crotchet Castle. I just thought it was a cool name, and not at all likely to be taken as a username.
In Smurfland I'd be "Super absorbant smurf" which is a bit of a worry, but good for cleaning down the kitchen benches.

I wish I could remember how to pronounce my name! Vi-chor-ek? Close? When I read the books, I always pronounced it as Wee-ek-zor-ek. heehee Posts: 667 | Registered: Aug 2003

Doing the thing with the first two letters, my name would be Libeki. Kinda cool! I got Eruve Nandiriel from a website that translates the MEANING of your name into Quenya. I also use the name Tigerlily. I use that one 'cuz 1)I love tigers, 2)tigerlilies are my favorite flower, and 3)Tigerlily is the cool indian warrior princess in Peter Pan.

Sorry if this isn't exactly on topic, but - does Wieczorek mean something in Polish or is it a name?? Just curious

Uhmmm,...Assuming everyone knows Mazer Rackham was the "long dead" space marine of EG. I am a Marine, and when I signed on this forum in August'98, I hadn't read much besides the Ender Series, Homecoming and Alvin Maker. I didn't like Homecoming that much, and I thought everyone here was roleplaying characters from Hatrack, so I didn't want to take someone's name. EG was all that was left sooooooo,......

pajeba, i was thinking something like kuh-gee-pee. kuh-jee-pee is just as bad, as is every other pronunciation i can come up with.
