I'm so inspired. I'm gonna make a video game character right now!

As long as you like your own name, that's all that really matters.

I used Wickodd first, which my friend came up with for me before I played Graal. After I got my first head upload I went with a new name for a new look, Anakin. People still called me Wickodd though, and I love that name anyways, so I just added it after Anakin. Then one day I was thinking of the Maphasy in the names of Maphasy members, and I thought of Son Goku, so I added SoN to the beginning of my name. Pretty long name, guess that girl wouldn't consider it cool lol.

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

I think the name Rufus just, sort of... hits that flow of language spot on, to where it creates a satisfactory image in your mind, a spectacle of visual imagery that forces you to not only remember it vividly, but also relate. Same thing with Coco, and many others, including Furryamigo, and Shmegg, too. I think a person's name, if picked blindly, meaning he picked it based on what he likes (which could be subconscious), is a reflection of himself. Oh, and Higbey. Can't forget about that wonder of a guy.

In other words, a name, if picked blindly, SHOULD be a reflection of you. It shouldn't be created for others, but rather for you. Now, if people can relate to that name, that's when they remember it, and you become popular. I think someone mentioned earlier that a name is essentially an essay hook for a person, at least, in video games. So if they can relate to the first thing they see on you, then you will be remembered. I don't know, it's just a theory.

I believe its your look that makes you "popular" may sound like a **** but think about it.

It is very true; certainly no name is any good without having an inner effort or presence. However, certain names can certainly open & close doors.

I'll also add that the etymology of a name has a superconscious & subconscious effect. Language is very much learned, and the etymologies of words are subconsciously understood while our conscious mind doesn't always pick up on it; so, if your name can be etymologically broken down into latin & greek roots that comprise your native tongue, those you encounter will in effect have a certain vibe about you whether or not they are cognizant or believing it.

But I have the best name and the best looks and I'm not popular??????



Having a cool nickname just makes people more likely to remember you, but being remembered doesn't necessarily mean you are popular.

Most of the times it's just the fact that anyone capable of doing something that would deem them popular just has enough common sense to use a decent name.

I forgot to include the irony of the situation. I'm pretty sure the Morpheus girl's name was really long, contradictory of her teachings, but I can't seem to remember what it was. I'm bad with names.

Haha, more irony.

Then again, if Morpheus was well known, normal people would actually know who he is. (In the movie, not in real life (only if you do know who he is in real life (if you don't know who he is you need to watch the Matrix)))

To be honest, anyone who doesn't love their name or take it seriously can be forgotten for all I care; and when I share my messages from God, and go down in history—those who considered themselves and their titles so trivial will reap what they sow. You are rewarded for love, not carelessness.

Possible, but def outweighed by other stuff.

I have the worst username ever. Colin is completely original, and he is pretty cool.

It's more hot names = popularity. Think about it, do you know of any "IceSickle"s? No, but we all know Coco, who makes you think of Hot Cocoa.
