I'm just curious. What drew you to your character's last name?

For me, I'm a big fan of silent movies and The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari happens to be my favorite of all time.

I don't remember. Although I'm sure it had something to do with being Japanese.

Well

05-13-2005 16:46

I chose mine because I had too. I was hoping to go with Zander, or Zaius or Eejit, but the first two were taken and the last one doesn't exist.

*sighs* I guess I'll have to settle.

It was the best of a bad lot. I much prefer to compose my own last name.

Because I wanted a "z" trifecta.

Actually, does anyone know why "Czukor" was added as a last name? I've tried Googling it with no concrete results a few months ago...but now I see my Snapzilla page is #3 in the returns! *signs autographs*

Not much else makes sense with the first name Issues.
It was the last name that I happened to hate the least, in an 'Issues' name combo.

That and my other old account, I couldn't get reactivated. (Did the alt trial and never signed up. Decided to just start over cause it had been a while since I played. Thought having a profile with 2003 while having to get reacclimated with SL..... was a generally bad idea.)

I think it was the only Hispanic surname available at the time and it was my ex's last name, so....

"Psaltery" is for Psaltery Hornpipe, a character from The Titan Trilogy by John Varley. The creature was a Titanide -- musical-genius centaurs that possessed both 'foresex' of either gender as well as 'hindsex', also of either gender. Every word they spoke, they sang.
"Pie", despite endlessly answering "What kind of pie?"

, is for the Mystif Pie 'oh' Pah, a character from Imajica by Clive Barker, a creature able to alter its sex at will and appear as its lovers' deepest desires. Assassin, whore, and savior.

My dog picked it for me.. just as I was about to hit the button to select TESLA - his big hairy paw smacked me, knocking my mouse just that fraction of a cm needed to select the wrong name.

After that it grew on me.

Siggy.
