User blog:Lurooke Surana/What's in a name?

So, with all the crazy names we have for each other on the Wiki, one inevitably begins to wonder, "How the Hell did you come up with a name like THAT?!"

Well, the origins of my name date back to September of 2009. I had just started playing World of Warcraft for the first time (before my account got hacked), and of course, when naming a WOW character, you do one of two things: You make up some stupid in-joke, or you just hit "Generate Random Name". Hence, Lurooke. And, after my account got hacked, I named all my characters in RPG's Lurooke to honor my Night Elf Warrior's memory.

As for the latter half, it comes from when I originally created my Wiki account, which was on the Dragon Age Wiki. A lot of the users there had names related to the Dragon Age games, so my name came from the full name of my Elf Mage in Dragon Age: Origins. Hence, Lurooke Surana.

So, lemme know in the comments how you guys came up with your names!
