I see some off the wall names and always wonder how do you all come up with these names

Like me Devoshade - Im a big fan and ole 7 year player of world of warcraft and in Warcraft Lore Devoshade was a Holy Pally Night Elf where i got mine from love the books. I was gonna use Drizzit from R.A Salvatores Legend of Drizzit series but meh changed my mind

A pretty extensive thread is found there.

But here is my story:

My in game name is a shortened form of the usual user name I use. Most places I am Angyles Cerddoriaeth which loosely translated means "Angel of music" in Welsh. The actual phrase "Angel of music" is derived from my favourite musical "Phantom of the Opera" which I have been obsessed with for many years ((So much in fact I have the mask as a tatt ^^)).

Most forums I am on, you can find me as Angyles Cerddoriaeth or Angyles.

There is not one note, or one step I do not know about in that play. When I saw the movie in the theater ((On opening night no less)), I had to have the boyfriend at the time cover my mouth with his hand. I was critiquing the whole thing. One wrong note, word or step and I was pointing it out.

It is def my obsession.

When creating a character on the first online game I played as a kid Tibia. I attempted to create a character called Danthedestroyer but unfortunately it was taken :p
So one of my friends piped up and said "why don't you change the to da?" So I then signed up as Dandadestroyer. After a couple months playing under that character name we started playing on some OT servers (Open Tibia - AKA custom servers :p) and as I was creating a new character on that the same friend suggested that I just cut destroyer off of the end as Danda sounded cooler anyway. So I have kinda stuck with the name for the past 9-10 years or so.

Unfortunately there are other Dandas so not every Danda you see is me :(
So when that name is taken when I sign up with things I usually go with Dandacion or Sebereora as a alternative :p

Well my steam name has been Turtle for around 2 years now, and I register as CuteTurtle on everywhere else just because 'Turtle' is taken everywhere :( I wanted to stick to one name, so when I was registering for a game and all names were taken except for this :D
