behind the names

[lewybaby]

you basically just explain why you named your characters they way they are. i'll go first.

TRISTAN: i was writing a fictional, fantasy story sort of like a crossover of twilight and harry potter and supernatural and i had a pair of twins. Lyndon and Tristan Blake, lyndon was a vampire while tristan was a werewolf. I feel in love with tristan so i reused it in my rps.
CALEB: it was sort of an in between of unique and common. it also flows really nicely with the whole name.
CHASE: i don't remember why i chose this name, but thinking about it now, it was probably because it flowed nicely with his first two names.

ALEXANDRA: sounded better with her last name and the nickname you can make with her name fitted her since she's tomboyish.
JENNA: first thing that came to mind. I also didn't feel like changing it. if you take the first letters of het first and middle name it makes her nickname AJ.
BELLAMY: I really loved the ring, how it sounded. Bellamy is French meaning fair or beautiful; a dear or excellent friend; or a friend or companion.

WILLIAM: because i liked it and it fit the time period he was in.

AMELIA:....pretty much the same lol I'm so simple...

[chelsea]

Hayley: Because thats my own name, and how selfish it might be i love my own name xD

Chelsea: I play Chelsea Volturi a lot and I came on an idea for a crazy wolf chick, and because Chelsea was my own vampire bitch i melted them together into this.

[ARIANA MAE]

Ariana - Well I didn't want to name it after me "Erin", so I choose a name that was like mine and it just developed from there.
Corin - well... That's Stephanie Meyer's work. But her middle name of Ardere and Argiro were ancient Greek names. And Since Corin, my Corin, hales from there - we had a bit of culture tie in.
Jayden - well I have always loved that name, and I always wanted to name my son that - so there you have it.

[elysium]

Riley - Thank Stephenie Meyer for that, and his middle name Xavier is simply the actors name.
Sloan Henry Collins - Collins was just a Irish name I knew from my friend, Henry is my dad's middle name, and Sloan was a name my friend randomly chose for me.
Elysium Aphrodite Ares - I recently became facinated, thanks to my boyfriend who is Pegan, with the Greek Gods and myths. Elysium is the feilds of the Underworld in which the good people go. Aphrodite is the daughter of Zues, the goddess of beauty. And Ares is the god of war, also a offspring of Zues (which is kind of gross because, if you know anything about Greek Myths, you know Ares and Aphordite get it on ALL the time) and he happens to be my favorite god (for one, my boyfriend believes he is a demigod of Ares, also the name Ares is the name I wish to give to my son)

[damien]

DAMIEN; Easy, it's translates to 'son of the devil' what a better name to describe someone who is such a big twat?
TAYLOR; My friends were talking about Ashley Purdy and how 'Ashley' originated from a male name, now mostly females have it- Ryan added, that Taylor was also a unisex name though now mostly girls have it.
EVANS; Pulled the name out a hat and it fits. Leave me alone.

WILHELM; No reason, when I first made Bill back on Forbidden twilight, I couldn't think of a name for my character- and beside me my cousin, who was reading his history textbook randomly said to me: 'William is short for Bill.. where did the 'b' come from?' And Wilhelm was the German version of William, I already wrote his history that he's German so- yup yup
TRUMPER; German boy need German middle male- it's also the name the Kaulitz twins took on when their mother remarried.
SCHWARTZ; It was originally 'Schwarz' which is German for 'black' which was inspired by Bill's tendency to dress in leather and black eyeliner. I dunno where, but at one point I added a 't' in there.

[reed]

RACHEL:

From the Hebrew name רָחֵל (Rachel) meaning "ewe". In the Old Testament this was the name of the favourite wife of Jacob and the mother of Joseph and Benjamin. The name was common among Jews in the Middle Ages, but it was not generally used as a Christian name in the English-speaking world until after the Protestant Reformation. - Behindthename.com

This isn't my doing. . .*giggles* This was all Stephanie Meyer. But I did the middle name because it is mine own. Who knows? I think Stephanie also did 'Marie' for her middle name.

REED:

From an English surname which comes from multiple sources, including Old English read meaning "red" (originally a nickname given to a person with red hair or a ruddy complexion) and Old English ried meaning "clearing" (given to a person who lived in a clearing in the woods). - Behindthename.com

I work with a guy with this similar name, and I looked it up on google. Coincidentally, Reed was an Irish name! So I used it. It's also striking how it means 'red', which Rupert Grint's hair is
