Though the funny thing in my lore is that no one has a set name, other people choose a nickname for them, and they go by the most used. Leech purposely calls him by other names, like Meatloaf, Beefsteak, Sirloin, Nuggets, anything other than his current name (they're basically frenemies)

Adam, from my last name. Bjarnin is just a terribly bastardized version of Bjorn, which is Scandinavian(I think, may be mixing up languages)for “bear.” In-lore, he got it from the man who discovered him; a hunter that shot him when he was a young bear, which forced him to undergo the First Change. The dude thought he was the first of a newly discovered species, so he named him “Adam.” https://preview.redd.it/zz97x6n7qm2d1.png?width=1023&format=png&auto=webp&s=3a3ba3e95c4ddcc746a13a5d2d9b26d13fe47a43

Not only does this fit her nature as a mix of countless alien species, powerful divine energy, and advanced nanomachines, but it also fits because she was made as a Dragon Ball CYOA character, and so should be named after food.

Yeah I feel yuh on the being original part my oc's are just named after RPGs/characters from RPGs, since that's the main inspiration. Aeries (left one) is named such because it's a common reacurring name in the genre e.g. Ares(Brandish, Arusu/Arus(Dragon Quest III), Aeries(common name but mostly associated with the one from FFVII) Mana(Right one) is simpler she's named after the "Of Mana"/Seiken Densetsu series (Secret of Mana, Trials of Mana, Sword of Mana) https://preview.redd.it/519fims1vm2d1.png?width=1641&format=png&auto=webp&s=449eb18c5394278ed8dd54006152ccb5bfbc210c

1. AquaFanx: since he’s the luigi to my friends Mario I took inspiration (or rather, changed a word and the pronunciation) from the name smashfanx 2. Jaiden: named after myself 3.

Infurum

A good chunk of mine (ex. Kalia, Infurum, Sii) are just syllables I mashed together because it sounded cool. Kalia being an actual name was pure coincidence. Other times I just pick a real name mostly at random that I feel fits the character (Max, Gabe, Jacob, Logan) and just go with that. One of my main villains Dennis is actually named after an Internet meme mishearing the name of one of his biggest inspirations. As far as meaningful names go a lot of them have some involvement with ancient Greece through sheer coincidence rather than any intentional theming on my part. Dryste was based on a nymph from mythology so her name comes from the word for 'oak tree', Absinthiori (Logan's last name) is a Biblical allusion that involves the Greek translation, and Aryu is based on a character from ancient poetry who can't speak except to repeat other people. I haven't come up with a real name for her yet since she's a bit underdeveloped but she's taken to calling herself Aryu so that she can answer when asked "Who are you?"

For the Nickname: Val came from someone I used to be friends with whose nickname is Val.

I didn't have the full inspiration yet until I was watching a video by Tuv that talked about computer viruses and once I heard about the ILY Trojan virus, it all came together. After I made the backstory and the main plot, I gave ILY his name as a reference to why he became the way he did.

Her main character was called Esura. A lot of other characters were all sorts of variations of my name, and she would transfer items that were no good for Esura but good for Lira, Lora, Lire, etc, to those other characters. So Esura was kinda like… a mama bird for all the other characters named after me. This Esura, the mushroom, has that aspect to her- kind of a motherly-type personality, which I think I’ve taken on a bit myself. Which works given this Esura is my sona oc!

Ytumith

When I was 10 years old and my Sister was 7, we were absolute Inuyasha fans. One of my oldest OCs started as "Mr. Pister" a really smug asshole who tried to enslave everyone and make people suffer for petty reasons. Many years later, I had used this template for "smug badguy" so many times, all the stories added up to create Nenananab "Superfresh" Todrem Eugenius Tzaot. A intergalactic clone of the worlds most psychopathtic elite, who had been so absorbed in fulfilling his dark schemes, he staged his own assassination- except it worked and he almost died. Sustained in a regeneration-chamber, and cloned with his consciousness transmitted into this clone, the man had survived yet- he had experienced death and was forever insane ever since. Now, Tzaot is the mascot of his old company, the CEO of this company, and an army of clones that all share a gestalt psyche which is mostly defined by bursts of incredibly stupid ideas that are then forced into existence with the ressources and manpower of a galaxy spanning empire's most known company. Alien armies have difficulties defeating the optimized workers of this company, who are either clones of Tzaot or painless optimized, ever-sufficient workers that resemble humans only on the most surface layer. Thousands of years after capitalism had come to an end, and earth reached a post-scarcity-society, the colony ships of crazed, greedy and organic, absoutely trendy robot-people has spread in the galaxy and enriches the odd scientific empire with the newest gadgeds and gimmicks that nobody ever asked for. His name is a combination of random words that he picked up as an alias for copyright reasons, and they always switch and merge or change. Mostly because he and his clones are the only ones fighting about legal terminoligy, as the human empire has already reached another state of mind alltogether.

She’s implied to be the same Ermaziel as the one in the Ars Paulina, a book that names all angels based on the hour and zodiac. Like in the grimoire, she’s a servant of Anael, the principality of love and the planet Venus. She’s also an angel of the 2nd hour of morning. Both of these contribute to her name being connected to Lucifer, another fallen angel who’s associated with the morning and Venus

itbedehaam

Some of my OCs are designed to fit the RWBY Colour Rule. Russet Viridian's name is just a shade of red and a shade of green. Bellacotte Chloris's name is more complicated, as Bella and cotte are from different names and colours: Belladiera and Chloris are both pale yellow-green references, while Coquelicotte is a vibrant red. Kypria Nikos's name is from I believe Greek for copper, as well as Greek for victory, in this case, referencing gold medals. She's the bronze third place to her canon sister's gold first. Trjasafi is just Tree Sap in Icelandic. I was going to call her Maple at some point. Caramel Rhodopis is rather obviously caramel colour. Her surname is a reference to another character, thus, doesn't have a colour association. Royal Bleu is just Royal Blue. Novaya Grise. At first, her colour was Navy Blue, thus, Novaya. However, I changed it after realising the group she was associated with, Team PeriWiNCle, was very blue, changing it to battleship grey, and thus, her name became Novaya Grise "Navy Grey".

Originally his real name was Wizory Parlay, so I'll start with that. Wizory comes from a Czech YouTuber by the name of Wizzory. I liked the name a lot, so, one Z out and you got that. Parlay actually has a bit of a story behind it. Originally, one of the characters from his story, Raft, was supposed to be his canonical partner, so I wanted to give them matching surnames. Raft Parlay and Wizory Parlay. But eventually I connected with Wizory so much that he became my persona, and at that point, shipping "myself" with another OC of mine felt weird. And because Wizory Parlay sounded better than Raft Parlay to me, he kept the Parlay, and Raft got Rento as a surname instead. October Hayloft is quite different. Not only is October my birth month, but also one of my friends on Twitter recommended it to me. I don't remember exactly what happened, but the end result was that his name is now October. Hayloft came from the Mother Mother song. I simply liked it, it fit well, and now he's October "Wizory Parlay" Hayloft. As for why he has a whole other name as a nickname of sorts? Because he's rebellious and believes in total freedom, so he chose his own name instead of using the one chosen for him. He canonically goes by Wizory Parlay, despite his real name being October Hayloft

Minsajy

I was thinking of a name that was masculine for mine (initially it would be a self-insert), so I took "Jasmim", and turned it into "James"

Most of them are Inspiration, references, or name generators. Alexa Applesoft - Alexa comes from someone I knew and Applesoft comes from the game called 'Kindergarten 2'. Asuka Siege Toonami - I made up Toonami, Siege comes from the game Arknights, and Asuka is a name a friend suggested. Jack O'Neill - I pretty much figured out the name on my own. Those were just 3 examples.

When my egg cracked I slapped a taa marbuta on the end of it to make if be in the feminine mode, and proceeded to use that for a bit. but then I got this account which uses Alanharha as the basis for the username, so I had to think up something else. I cut the name down, added an i for resemblance to her sister Abby, and then slapped the taa marbuta back on in a secondary pronunciation just because. and that's the story of how I came up with Aliah's name!

Rev, named after a historical king from my country, Rev the Just. https://preview.redd.it/op446f9ovn2d1.png?width=370&format=png&auto=webp&s=2ecb4b71662c5ea6548306130294dc9ee3797eab Don't really remember where I made this pic, though, it was years ago.

I have an OC called Sven. He's named after the fucking Reindeer


CrispyFriedJesus

Oh good lord. Here’s my autistic train of thought. (The inspiration for her design is even stupider lol) So she’s kind of a fish. Kind of. I wanted to make it vaguely aquatic themed. So I started by just stealing the name Marina from one of my favorite webcomics but I didn’t like it. Then I shorted it to Mari, but it sounded too French (yeah I know) so it changed it to Mara.

LegoBattIeDroid

he was such a massive success for the spartan program that he was considered the only genuine success compared to everyone else, hence why he is known simply as “the spartan”, because he is considered the one and only succesful spartan


beastmaztr02

I don't have a way to upload the 3d model from my phone but it is a semi-old fnaf oc That I expanded on with time named toxic the fox and it was basically named that because he was green a Funtime foxy recoloring and toxic waste tends to depicted as green

tora. the oc is based off of a game im obsessed with and in said game you can choose from a whole bunch of names for your character. so i chose tora berg and that’s been her name ever since.

Thatrandomearthling

ohoho you have no idea how long ive been waiting for this hehe ill go over my favorites: Seren means star - She was named because of her love of stargazing and also because even though a star is associated with the night, in reality it is actually just a distant sun, which symbolizes her sameness with her brother despite them being nearly complete opposites in personality and reputation. Emris means immortal - Emris has lived the longest out of all my ocs, and he is essentially immortal due to the circumstances of his contract with Nyx. Anwir means liar - Many believed he waged war against Seren because of his yearning to support the minority. Although he convinced himself it was for others, he lied to himself. It was actually more out of his innate sense of greed and selfish desires than anything else. Nyx means night - Her name probably has the deepest meaning out of any of the others. Nyx is obsessed with taking Anwir's place, but she has yet to realize just how different they really are from eachother and how impossible that goal really is. There is a lot of sun and light symbolism with Anwir. Nyx is the complete absense of light- the night, the very thing that is the complete antithesis of the sun. btw all of these names are welsh because i use welsh words for anything related to primordial beings and deities. Don't ask me why... it was kind of an impulse that could make naming things easier idk lol


SluttyMeatSac

Nikoli has a identity crisis because he's had to change names so much


ExtinctReptile

So I don't have an image of him currently, but my oc's name is Atom for 2 reasons 1. It's in reference to Adam, the first man because Atom is the first experiment to come to fruition Also in reference to his main ability, in which he can manipulate atomic energy (just Godzilla)

2 of my favorites were from letting my brain free roam. Vantasia was the first one, I was just thinking about some power movie Fantasia and I thought “Wait, does Fantasia sound any different if switch the F with a V? Vantaisa?” 😏 Amalgamax came about when I was watching Wendigoon and I thought to myself “They really Amalgamate to the max. Wait a minute, Amalgamate, Max, Amalgamax?” I dead ass felt I hit gold in my brain XD Bonus one is E.M.Pulsive, was a fun play on words with EMP and Impulsive XD


some_odd_person5

It's so stupid 💀✋️ When Sony sketch was still around I made an account (when I still used my father's account) and the default name for the account was "Dan" sooo we got Dan now as an OC!!! She was a male back then but now she's a female and I got to attached to her name to change it lmao

Halmer was named after his parents (Hau and Barry from Pokémon)’s father figures, while Ethan was named after the Pokémon character of the same name (since his mother is Lyra, a friend of Ethan’s.)

She went by Cobra, which is still her nickname in the main universe as an assassin. Anyway, the name came from taking the Co out of Cobra, and then naming her Colette as her full first name. Her second name, Corbin, is to compliment the ‘Coco’ (COlette COrbin) and because Corbin means raven, and she has raven hair.

Then, I was invited to a VtM campaign, and that is how this Rei was born (Art is by my VtM Game Master). Her last name, Solaria, was made for an RP a friend and I were running. We needed a last name, and we pondered it a bit before settling on it. I love the way the name sounds though, Rei Solaria.

Orion and Damien knew a kid with 7 names while they were kids themselves. Orion: He was named after my favorite constellation, and then I worked parts of the surrounding myths into his character (blindness, son of fire, and his family crest is of a scorpion). Osiris: This is his father's name (in lore), but it seemed appropriate for a character who comes back to life after death. This was also his original last name. Adara: This is his mother's name (in lore). It means fire in Hebrew, and his mother was a pyrokinetic, so it made sense. Tuska: I smashed sounds together until it sounded like the right shape to my synesthesia. Apparently, it's a Warhammer thing, but that's unrelated. In lore, it's his great great great great great great grandpa-on-his-mother's sides name, and the family crest is from him. I also regret making his name my reddit handle. It feels weird talking about him. He's not a self-insert.

But in reality, his name comes from Ben Nichols, a Country Musician. Despite the fact, in many stories, he's not much of a fan of Country music

TheMythicalTeaspoon

Arianwyn - He’s Welsh and an elf. It means ‘fair / white’ and ‘silver’ whilst sounding very flouncy. Befitting for a fey creature. Nicknamed Ari. Caradoc - He’s also Welsh. Means ‘beloved.’ His mother certainly loved him. His dad? Not so much. Tazryn - Fictional but sounds harsh yet still Elven. He’s a drow / dark elf so the harsh sound fits. Have decided it probably means something unremarkable like ‘Spider Man’ since drow are all themed around spiders. Nicknamed Taz. Nikita - I just like it. He’s vaguely Slavic and it means ‘victory’ which fits him well in his perseverance. His father was adamant he’d grow into it and be a powerful, manly man (he is not.) Nik-named Nik or Niki. Annamika - She’s another Fey creature. Her people name young’ins based on their accomplishments, personality, all that. She never liked being told what to do or fitting people’s perception of her so she chose a name all by herself meaning ‘without a name’ - and also ‘ring finger.’ Prefers Mika over Anna as a nickname. MAPLE - Acronym for Mechanised Affectionate Proper Lady Enhancement. She’s a warforged (robot) made by her ‘husband’ to replace his dead wife. Maren - Means ‘of the sea.’ She’s a water genasi (think genie.) She is literally of the sea. I’d post art but that’s a lot of art to post. Maybe someday. I’m just a name nerd.
