It's Jehovah backwards, of course, but not really a particular OOC significance - I'm not a Satanist, for example. When I played WoW there was this warlock named Havohej in the guild I was in (Cult of Luukos guild, Lightninghoof RPPvP server, Horde) and I thought the name was cool as hell. So when I came to EVE, I jacked it!
...I actually always thought you did it for "Shatan" myself. :oSee, I would never have drawn that conclusion, myself, until... I think it was Bellum who pointed it out first and I said, 'Huh?' and then he had to explain it to me. I'm not religious!
Let me know how that petition works out. To my knowledge, they've never done so for any reason other than policy violations.
No idea where I got my name from.Perhaps it was the lyrics of the Tash-Murkonite performance artist Iskbillionaire?

Istvaan - From warhammer 40k, the first planet to fall during the Horus Heresy. Shogaatsu = some kind of Japanese spring festival, I think. Might be spelled with one a.
... so sue me :DNormally I wouldn't, but as you asked so nicely. How much should we each sue you for, and is making me annoy my neighbours with NOFX being played loudly a good enough excuse to sue?
-Punx

I'll probably get 25 ISK back after expenses, then. Okay, we'll leave the suing until you're rich enough for me to extort billions. Deal?
Punx from the song "Skins, Punx and Drunx" by Lars Frederiksen and the Bastards
Evangeline from the song "Evangeline" by Bad Religion
I like punk music, so sue me :D
-Punx
Excellence! I had a feeling Evangeline was from that song, the Punx part tipped me off ;) Total off-topic but do you like the Murder City Devils? Really great band, I had the pleasure of seeing them in '09 on their reunion tour, right before they decided to work on new material. Was one of my favorite shows. Plus their drummer plays in a couple of my other favorite bands so that was a treat.
Saskia is actually a female first name in germany. ;)
I named Ché after 2 people that shared defining traits with my character: revolutionary Ernesto "Che" Guavara and anti-apartheid activist Steve Biko. And the meanings of the word "che" (http://community.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1502986&page=2#48) were also a reason why I chose it.
I sometimes find it a bit cheesy, but so far only one person openly guessed which persons contibuted to Ché's name. And I think it sounds like it could be a Gallente name.
Although, I made it a bit of an (inside) joke that most Gallente mispronounce his name as "Chez / Sjay" instead of "Ché / Tsjay" and thanks to the fact that the capsuleer callsign can not contain an "é", most capsuleers pronounce it as "Che / Tsjeh".
From the famous actor.
No actually I had to be pointed out that the name was close to the actor's name to notice it.
I just wanted a quite common first name, but yet a little aristocratic or old, with a simple and fonctionnal last name, but again that could be associated with a Holder status (if at the creation I had no clue of what was a Holder or if I wanted to see my character to be one).
My name is pretty self explanatory.
It can mean several deffirent things, but they ussually all point in one direction in the end.
It is also the name of one of my favourite sculpture artists, as well as the best ninja turtle.
I have no idea what I'm doing.
In 'Canadian' English, I would say 'Air-dray'.
Would probably be pronounced ah-ay-dr in french. and Lah-fee-sk. Except if you pronounce the ending "e" as well, but we generally don't.

My intent was to have the A and e pronounced together more or less, and as for the mostly-silent e at the end, I don't know how to explain it to anyone, but the one French guy on coms was fine, so we're probably in agreement :P Maybe it's just the type of R that makes me think one kind of hears the ə sound a little bit? It's intended to be a single flap r.
I'm in not-France, so trying to talk about the particulars from the constraints of my foreign French is likely to cause trouble :p
And, it doesn't matter for anyone too much from an RP perspective; the spread of attempts is super likely. It's very quickly just become part of the IC development of the culture shock (laugh)
