The name Koiju came about purly by accident
I was bored one day, and typed random letters on the keyboard. I, by chance, typed 'koiju'. when i read it I thought it sounded like a cool nick name, and have had it ever since ^_^
I'm almost Tempted to start using the name Anrui Tenshi tho...
'Anrui' means 'silent tears' in Japanese, and 'tenshi' means 'angel'
So quite simply, Anrui Tenshi means 'angel of silent tears' (well, the grammar is probably wrong, but its close enough, heh) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
In the past i have had other nick's too, i first had 'Faith' as the first online game i playd was Diablo, and i made a rogue and wanted a cool female name, Faith was the first name that came to mind.
I kept the name for quite a while, tho occasionaly used other names for other characters like 'WinterMoon' ((which i simply thought sounded interesting) and 'Norik' (which is from the RL nickname of a good friend of mine 'Norik the norse man' (its 'Kiron' backwards, heh)) but eventually felt i needed to change the main nick (everyone kept assuming i was female O.o). I chose 'Makoto' Which is simply 'Faith' in Japanese, heh. I also use 'Nenriki' (another Japanese word for faith) for female characters and 'Shakaku' (which is 'Angel Of Fire' in Japanese) It was around this time i accidently typed Koiju <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />.
P.S. Before you ask, no, im not a japanophile, i just like the sound of there words <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
