I've never been much for naming things, apart from my usual internet name which doesn't fit the era. So I just made up a name that sounded good enough, which is how Khorin was born. It wasn't consciously similar to Qhorin, though I had read the ASoIaF books way back in 2009.

Other than that, most of my names are Khorin derivatives and/or names from fictional works, because I can't be bothered with names that much.

Ninja_Qhorin and Ninja_Quorin (same guy, but people use different spellings) is blatantly ripped from A Song of Ice and Fire. But I rarely use these two.
Corin is ripped from the new Conan movie where Conan's dad is named Corin. He's a barbarian two hander with some small riding skill, because Conan can ride a bloody horse.
Chorin is a derivative of Charin which was a minor character in Startgate Atlantis.
Thorin is obviously from the Hobbit.
Ghorin was an arabian alt based on Ghorid's.
Borin was created when I was bored.

Reason why I do Khorin derivatives is because people can easily recognize me when I use them. I'm pretty fortunate to have so many names given to me though :)
Keyoke and Lujan are blatantly ripped from books simply because they sound japanese.

However my normal internet name is quite unique based on google, but that one I will not disclose :P

The only person I consider a great name RP'er is Balien_de_Ibdelin in NA servers. He even made his own faction so he could have the banner. Uses nothing but what you see in kingdom of heaven.

Looks somewhat like the guy too. Real cool.

Over a year ago I made Arys, i've read the books since they came out so im not some dirty Game of Thrones newb fan. Originally, my character Arys looked like SosarianKnight with a 1h and shield. After a few weeks I got bored of it and didn't want to change my name. I used the name Arys Oakheart, because I thought it was an awesome name for a knight. I guess I should just go back to MrShatteringSexBludgeon since it would appease the "originality" you all want.

My name may not be from a book, but this thread helped me realize it seems like some kind of alias a shitty teenage rapper wannabe would have.

Fuck my life.

Saw a dude named Eldest, and Arya, why couldn't they use the name character names out of the books, isntead they named themselves after the title, and some secondary character  :rolleyes:

SOME SECOND CHARACTER???

You must be kidding ME! 3/4 of those I know reading the books, love Arya, including myself. She's not a second character for us! Even by her story she seems to be a prefered character by the author himself, same goes for Cersei and Danareys (or Bran).

Second characters are:
King Robert, Tommen, Joffrey
the tullys (except for Cat)
the Freys (mostly)
Robb Stark
as examples :P

be aware, book spoiler!
