Billy Learns To Rock:

The character's names are commonly used in many English speaking countries like Billy, Frank, Tanya, Mark, May, Lewis, Otto, Ray, and Jack.

Billy The Kid vs. Jack The Ripper... that's what got me into the Billy vs. Jack storyline on the previous issues.

The title came from a band called "Michael Learns To Rock" and the band's clip ages ago and so few seems to know it so I decided to replace Michael to Billy and created: "Billy Learns To Rock"

Electronic Revolutions: The Burnhams:

Ann: Since she's the protagonist of the series, letter "A" would suit her. What a better name than put the two n's and create Ann. I really like An- prefixes in femanine names like "Anna", "Anne" etc... I chose Ann because it looks and sounds cute when looking at the character. She's among my favorite characters in my character cataloge.

Sonya: Another nice female name. Most of the time, they put Sonya name in most action movies or games. So, I gave her Sonya because she's really an action babe... you'll see in future issues.

Fetch: Fetch means to find and it is a cool name.

Scott: It is such a cool name for a cool character to give it to the dude. So, those are names... I really like them.

Once you put the Burnhams family name after the name it suits perfectly to all these characters.

Orin: If you flip the word, it is Niro and replace the "i" to "e", you'll get Nero... Nero is a demon name. Got it, since he's the prime villain of the series it does give him the evilness in his heart.

Others to reveal...


Enjoy... Las Vegas-y

As for me, well.. I play around with names.
Stories of Strangeness
Scorch: He has power over fire and orange hair, and I just like the word "scorch" so it was a match!
Shard: Power over shards of crystals. 'Nuff said.
Kristin: Created back when every single one of my characters had an individual font. Named her after hers, "Kristen ITC". I misspelt her name as "Kristin" early on, and it stuck.
Aila: Sounded cheery, which is why I picked it: to be ironic, as Aila hates everything.
Nick: Nicholas. Sounded vampiric.
Falkin: Named after his special move, Falcon Dive, then respelled.
Nina: Ninja-j. Matched her personality.*edit* Just found out it also means "fire" in a Native American language. What a coincidence.
Rei: Reila. Just a random name.*edit* Means "grace" in Japanese, and she's a fast runner. Another coincidence.
Richie: Dunno why I picked it.*edit* Means "Brave power". Another coincidence.
Rita: Changed the vowels in "Roto" to sound more feminine.
Bit, Pixel and Rez: There's a theme! Can you guess what it is?
Roto: Sounded mysterious and demonic.
Lyn
Lyn: Short for Lindsay, my friends name.
Damien: Son of the devil, apperently.
Virgil: Devil May Cry.
Walnut: Funny name for a sadistic rabbit.
Chestnut: Walnut's brother, why not make it a family theme?
Lilac: She always has one in her hair. Annother rabbit.
Ninja Marshmallow/Maji: He's a ninja marshmallow. His human form name is a plural for Mage, but who knows how that turned out?
Specs: Shortened specter, and she's a ghost, so..
Tiff: Tiffany, feminine form of Theophanes,"Manifestation of God". Sounded appropriate since she's practically a living thunderbolt.
Mori: Death. Named after my Thing-Thing character, and matches him too!
Rick: Just like the sound of it. Rick Rick Rick Rick...
Sonic Fanchars
Arc: Random name.
Talys: Random name.
Rothau, aka my avatar char: Rearrange and you get Author.
That's all folks! *Dies from lack of breath*

I like to have 'themed' names.

For my purpley people, oldish, classic names.
For my jungley people, the names of plants.

Sometimes I give characters symbolic names based on what they do in the story or how they behave or something about their past that is the same.
