I wanted a name uniquely my own (i.e. a Keòen or Catin name) and you have NO IDEA how hard it is to find a female name that fits with the Jadali crests and fits in 12 characters. My mind is full of good male names that are also unclaimed by the peeps of RS but I refuse to change Full Of Pie's gender so no naming myself Terabi or S R Sorela. :P I'm really sad not to have Molly in my name anymore but it just didn't fit. It was a close tie between Molly Sorela and Airi Hieldin but in the end the Keòen name won.
Airi Hieldin is the name of Dr. Sorela's wife (well, technically her name is Airi Hieldin Sorela) and since Hieldin is one of the 7 pure crests there's more than one Airi Hieldin which explains my reasoning of picking an established name (whatever, it's not a big deal to anyone but me lol). It's too bad names aren't 13 or 15 characters long, although then I'd just do Avicile Mohaili. I would've done Naidel Hieldin but obviously that didn't fit. I also wanted a space in there. Blah blah blah send me hate mail for having to learn a new name. Hey, at least Hieldin is easier to say than Freloch! Also, no accent marks to worry about!
Pronounce it as you would Japanese, Catin, or Keòen. :P If you're unfamiliar with these languages, then AYE-ree HYEL-din works too. :P Time to screenie Canting's reaction!
The best part is that I was doing some Barrows runs and only half paying attention to the chat. ;D
ReplyDeleteI do like the name though, even if I don't really know how to pronounce it.
