Make me a name.

Aerzia Saerules Arktuos... it's a fantastic name. Often so fantastic that Americans, British, and the goddamn North Koreans alike cannot even read through it on a single mental passing... and at least 60% of those who do fail to roll the 'r's... a mere 10% of the human population able to adapt to Æ as a strong 'I' sound. Kind of sad, really... as sad as someone mispronouncing Machiavelli, who too has a fantastic name.
And so it comes down to this: I need something unique, fitting.... and easily pronounced. Additionally important: it must not contain a phase that can be twisted into something foul, ie: 'Pooka' or 'Phuckmea'. Indeed... it would be wonderful if a name contained at least one or two easy sounds by which I can be recognized (ie: 'Sae' or 'Zia').
When I create names, I have a flair for originality and art... in both the form of the name as written and in sound of it spoken. And it is this normally incredible flourish which separates me from making a 'good' name, as the 'easy' names usually sound too bland.
Do not fret, those who like my name as is... for it shall forever live on as a forum and mayhap stage name... where precisely that level of eccentricity is desirable.
Good luck, and may the creativity be with you

Names are reflections of the darkness inherant within you. Each letter is a code - each code conjours images of wickedness - through this these images of light I see gradually become clear - I'm tired of the light - each color represents a different pain. Red, white, blue - all too painful
Like 1000 knives, each color creates memories of pain - never a moment's peace here
Grey - code of the Devil, Inc.
Memories of murder, of misery, of hell. There is no god, but there is hell, it is the invention of man. I want light, light light - but all I see is a grey fog. When will this mist go away? What will become of us?

or maybe letters are just letters.

Is this just another name for the forums or is this a real name you would like?

I think it's her name in the forum because she is asking about changing the name "Aerzia Saerules Arktuos" as it appears in the forum only. Just for some ideas and suggestions, I believe.

I say go simple.
You have a huge long name that no one ever uses or gives a shit about.
Change your name to Sae for the obvious reason of ... that's what people call you.
Nobody calls anyone here by their full name. That's why I dropped the Cain off of my own name. It's superfluous.
Not that I care. Have whatever name pleases you girl.

You should change your name to Slartibartfast. I always loved that name.

Real name. I recently added another forum name (Vaerama)... I'm very good at such names (or so I like to think).

I was once considering calling one of my children 'Anus Rectiloid McCavity' but that's probably a bit too Scottish for you.
Anyway, what's wrong with Aerzia? It's short, snappy and easy to pronounce, well, once you say it with a Russian accent...
