How do you decide on a name?

[There are inquiring minds that want to know.]

Something cool and flashy! But also friendly, so people won't be scared of you.

[astralera]

I liked how it sounded and what it meant. It felt right, so I chose it as my name.

[necromanswers]

In my old culture, it was something you chose for yourself based on a lot of things. Where you're from, what sort of person you are, who your family is. Sometimes it's on a whim. There doesn't have to be a rhyme or reason for it, really.

Names are as flexible as people themselves- if you pick something you don't like, you can always change it later. If it feels right, keep it.

[voidbug]

How does a name sound scary?

[SO MANY QUESTIONS.]

[voidbug]

You had to name yourself too?

[astralera]

I did.

I'm Era.

[pinkxeno]

Like, if it says "death", for example. or something gross.

[thefatedpath]

A name for what, exactly?

[voidbug]

[Interesting... And noted.]

So it is common to name yourself anything.

[voidbug]

For myself.

I was told I should have one.

[voidbug]

Oh. I don't think I would pick anything like that.

[thefatedpath]

You don't have one?

Are there any names you like?

[voidbug]

I never had one before.

Not yet. So far I found out it can be anything.

[Feel free to blame your brother later for this hot mess.]

[voidbug]

Oh. Hello. [New friend??? Friend...]

Was it hard to find a name?

[astralera]

I didn't find it hard, but I may have just been lucky to hear a word I liked so quickly.

Plants, animals, colours, minerals, weather, all things of nature, places, objects... There are all different kinds of names. It's okay if you don't find the perfect one for you right away.

[iustaegis]

Oh? For whom?

[awooligan]

like a codename or a real one

[dontcallmebro]

Guess you could pick one you like and see if it sticks.

[necromanswers]

Common enough as far as I've seen. Plenty of names come from other people, though, and if that's something you're satisfied with, that's okay too.

[pinkxeno]

Good! Then I guess you can pick something that makes you happy.

[thefatedpath]

It can...but there are definitely names which you should likely not choose.

Hmm. Can you describe yourself?

[voidbug]

I'm used to not having one, so I don't know where to start.

[It's...surprisingly hard.]

Is it normal to not have one?

[voidbug]

I need one

[Or something??? They are so confused by now.]

[voidbug]

A real one I think.

[Or is a codename the same thing? Like a title?]

[voidbug]

I guess so. But there is a lot of them.

[But, it does seem like they have no other choice, really.]
