    Dustbin - because.
    BabiChulo - inside joke from me and my pals. Mostly reminds me of the song 'PapiChulo' (which is terrible).

    Pretty much all my IGNs are Japanese words for fruit + rii. I used "rii" in my old IGN from gMS, so it just kind of fit.

    Momorii (Peach),
    Sakurii (Cherry [Sakuranbo]),
    Umerii (Plum).

    ... Yap.

    Mangu - Not gonna lie, I was craving mango when I joined. But I also didn't want to make a character named after a fruit... so I twisted it up a bit.

    Tangy - Favorite character in Animal Crossing <3 How do you not love a tangerine cat?! Google her~

    Cosmix - No idea really. I usually just take random words and change one letter. (see #1)

    Sirenia - Scientific name for manatees. <3

    Kaizoku - Japanese word for Pirate, which represents my class I suppose. Other than that my Corsair's name in EMS was Kaïzoku since the regular i was taken by a random lvl 20 assassin.

    Tirn - My irl name is Tim, however you cannot have an in-game name of 3 characters so I took advantage of the 'r-n' combo that appear to connect to an 'm' with the in-game font.

    HentaiSymbol - It's sort of an inside joke and a play on words with Holy Symbol and Hentai. I created this character as a HS mule but before I did so I always had this idea of getting the Octopus hat from the cashshop for one of my characters. And when some of us see tentacles, well, they've seen enough Hentai to know where this is going!

    Dizz- Diz is the name of a character from Kingdom Hearts/ Kingdom Hearts II, which is one of my all-time favorite video games. Obviously 3 letters is too short, so I added another Z. (I recently learned that dizz is slang for LSD, which I was saddened to hear.)

    Ocotillo- A species of fern which grows in deserts of the western US. I was reading a book, which I sadly don't remember the name of, and a man said something along the lines of, "And he had finally realized that he was completely alone, just like the Ocotillo." This being the name of my beginner in GMS, I thought was appropriate, considering the lack of beginners.

    Iced- The name I use for any character which I "chill out" on, hence the ice.

    Soleil: Because it means "sun" in French, turned it into a Fire/Poison ArchMage

    Aurinko: Also means "Sun", but in Finnish, turned it into a Bishop/HS mule, hoping to give this character a happier disposition while training.

    Strings: Because without them you cannot make a bow work!

    Kipsy: because on Irc I was known as Moose/Mookip, and one night i got drunk and IRC'd and I became Tipsy-Kipsy.

    Factor
    Factor is currently a thief in the work for me. I have a bowman on MS called "7thFactor". I figured that it would be cool to make a character named after the specific blood disorder I have. I don't tell many people about it because there's so much taboo surrounding Hemophilia and Rare Bleeding disorders. Many people do not understand it, and the impact it has on people. I'm fortunate enough that I was diagnosed at 17 years old, just 3 years ago, and have been able to meet some really amazing people because of it.

    diceman21: Came from sitting there and trying to make an ign while rolling the dice. Someone already had Diceman so the 21 came from adding up the sides of the die. (Dice,Diceman,DiceLess all came from that ign i created in GMS 8 years ago)

    In a previous server, a friend attempted to say "water" in spanish on skype and failed miserably, so I made a troll character named Ague. It stuck.

    Kreupel - Dutch word for cripple. Have had this name for years as I thought it was funny about 7 years ago. Still quite catchy however.

    Sybe - Real life name. That's pretty much it

    My current MapleRoyals in-game names are all fun words i've thought of, that change from game to game. (Hacker can be seen to have been taken from Jordan, Kael's older brother which he used in demethos, and dick by a user in kradia). Tater was used as a cute couple name between my girlfriend and I, as her ign is tots, (tater tots).

    However, the only name that has stuck through countless years has been maggles.

    This all started in 2008, MapleStory Kradia.
    Due to the impossibility of getting a clean name plus the love I had for pokemon, I ended up creating a Dark Knight called Magbi, only to be nicknamed by my guild mates (Hellbound - GhoulScout, MissM, ect) as Maggles.

    I took this nickname with me to Demethos where I strived for a couple of years as one of the top bowman. Where I was further nicknamed by players such a mikeyb, as magglypaggly, ect.
