Just out of curiosity, have you guys ever heard of me outside of Graalians? Hell, have you guys ever heard of me in Graalians?

Jk about the second one (unless you really haven't)

I used to get the "u adiam?" on era, since I was like one of three people with a custom head/body. I still get it sometimes with my chimp head. Most people remember me as the ape guy rather than Twiz. I guess popularity can be associated with looks, as well.

Never heard of that twiz guy

I don't think I've ever heard of you until recently

People always ask me how I came up with my name.

I was looking for a very short gamertag, and ended up creating a completely random name. I liked it, and stuck with it for every character/account I make.

Get ready for Slick's Keys to Graal Popularity!
First. make a name you like and stick with it. Don't go changing it every 2 weeks so that nobody that you've talked to can remember you. Also having a signature look that people will help people remember you. get or make something unique, not just some popular customs that everybody is using. that way if they don't remember your name they may remember you by your look. this also helps with people who play with nicknames turned off. Lastly and probably most important is reputation and activity in the community. you can't become popular without putting yourself out there and engaging in the community you want to be known in. and there you have it folks! Slick's Keys to Graal Popularity!

Xenthic 01-11-2016 10:25 AM

People have said my name is different and unique so I guess it's easier for people to remember. Before Xenthic, my name was my real name Ben, but my Dutch friend Kees in Ximtra suggested a name of Xenthic and I happened to like it and ever since I've kept it. Always wondered the correct pronounciation apparently it's pronounced as Zenthic because usually words with the letter X are pronounced with a Z but I've always preferred pronouncing it as X-en-thic.

I mean if Rufus can became popular with that name...............

I've always said it zenthic but it's your name so I'm pretty sure you can decide the pronunciation. X-en-thic it is!

If your name was SuperTwinkPoopLover, people would be disgusted by you. If your name was Gumballs or Cupcake, people would think of you as bubbly and cute. If your name was Jeffrey Dahmer—people would be terrified of you. If your name is Ferret12411—it is not only difficult to remember, but also disrespectful because it is difficult to type and no good game designer will incorporate Ferret12411 into their game.

Chickenpotpie 01-11-2016 05:13 PM

Origin of my name ; Was eating chickenpotpie when I first started graal.

Coco 01-11-2016 05:15 PM

I've had the same name since I first started playing Graal. I named myself after my dog but sometimes changed it up...Like after I was "Coco" for a little while I changed it to "Coco ~ 2 + 2 = fish!!" or something like that. Had that name for a while until "Coco88" which was a "family name" that I had for years. I eventually grew out of that since practically everyone that was a part of the 88 family was inactive and just went back to "Coco". Short and simple.

I think your name can draw attention to someone, but I don't think it can make you popular.

most of the time people just PM me "you know what letter could go in the middle of your name ;) ;)"
:(


CON?
CAN?

I BET ITS CAN.

Admiral 01-11-2016 06:15 PM

unless I get PMd something along the lines of 'Did you get your name from how cool the admirals are in one piece' its likely had no effect lol

The only name that really has stuck out to me as a cool name was Furryamigo's, besides that names are just aliases to me
