So, a new day brings a new topic - The meaning behind your mains name.
Now, my main is Jakkru and the meaning behind his name is pretty dull... (TL;DR version below :p)
Back before I played WoW, I was an avid Guild Wars fan. For those of you that haven't played it, your name must be two words or something like that, for example "Jakkru lol" would count as a name, whereas "Jakkrulol" wouldn't.
When I first rolled a character, I had a theme, I'd name any character I had after something associated with the class and add my name at the end. For example:
My first character was initially going to be called Warmaster Jack. Until I realised that it sucked.
So off I went to trust google to find a translation for my name in a different language and found (I later found out this isn't actually correct...) that Jack in Japanese is Jakku! Awesome, I thought and I rolled my first Guild Wars character - Warmaster Jakku!
When I made the transition to Warcraft, I inititally rolled an Orc, for which Jakku didn't quite fit so the name was forgotten until I was trying to think of a name for my Undead rogue, it popped back in my head!
I don't know why but when typing Jakku under my character I felt strange, like it didn't fit how he looked. I spent about 10 minutes thinking of a variation then came up with Jakkru and to me, it fitted.
So, the TL;DR version of that is - I thought it meant Jack (my actual name) in Japanese with an R added.
However, it's not my favourite named character, that'd have to be Coggins, my gnome warrior ^^
