i guess this question is really directed to the High Priest, but if others care to share about their name, what it means to them, etc...
i was just wondering... are you inspired? do you take our membership apps into consideration? what's the process of selecting our names?
im just really curious...
thank you!!!

Mine is Esbara'Kesh. I it like Essbaraahh'Kesh. The ' symbolizes an voiced sound in semetic languages, so I draw out the h part in ah (more like uh). I speak the Esbara part really quick together, and the Kesh more slowly and deliberate. I also trill the R, barely voiced. It brings to mind a Sumarian or Persian (maybe Atlantian?) sorcerer/inhuman (search for The Darkness or Jackie Estacato game/comic , but throw in crows wings, clawed scaly hands, feeder tendrils from the mouth , sometimes with an Illithid type head is kind of the best way to picture it) shaman image to mind. In some cultures Sorcery IS shamanism.. so it is a very primal, maybe protohuman, feel to it.

to be honest, the names just sort of come to me. it's like they are implanted in my mind before i have a chance to consciously think of them. perhaps they are directly inspired from the A:O? (that's Ancient Ones). a glossary will be included in the new book.
also, cool pictures!

HPVS bestowed upon me the name Haethens. To me, it conjures up pictures of an old hermit sorcerer casting spells in a stone circle on a hilltop at midnight. I also added the surname Y'abhatep, which means "of the Deep" I'm pretty sure. So basically it means Haethens of the Deep. I like it

Well my given name is "Latheeb", which might i add i am rather fond of, and when i think of it i see some charming young gentleman with a heart as cold as the coldest ice, kindof like the main character in "The Cask of Amontillado" by Poe.
- Latheeb

Hello B'Lahk'Neeth, I sure the other members will agree that the names just fit. After receiving my name, it just spoke to me. Like Cora'Sahn stated, the meanings may come later. Maybe once they do, we could discuss how it happens or what not. That would be a great discussion for the boards.

Sound is energy so I think every sound have a meaning, a specific savior and vibration. So if I meditate the Word: Dzoth Mah (totally from nowhere) I will come up with a meaning for this group of vibrations together, it will surely suggest a concept or more.
By the way, Librabis is a spirit in the Nuctemeron (7th hour) and is about occult gold (fire of hell, astral light)
I changed a letter in the name to have Abys... to add an abyssal meaning
This is a public name though and for my private practice I have an other one

My name is Izratan'Sharaz and it means temple of unseen horrors, also if anyone looks at the satanis unbound book(or pdf) there's a glossary of terms which some are not in Liber A:O

My name translate to "Triangular Subjective".
Triangles hold special meaning to followers of Sagule.

My names also seem to come from thin air. There are times when a new name comes to me and I just cannot resist using it.
I am certain that mine, however, come from the multiple "I's" within myself rather than from an outside ancient one, so I am on somewhat of a quest to find my True Name, one that represents the real me as a whole. This will be a way for me to circumvent the Laws.
Any suggestions on how I could do this would be nice.

I can't wait for my name to be bestowed upon me.. *sigh* still just a lowly messenger of the outer angles though. Hopefully not for long though!
Ia Ia!!

VS I performed I minor awakening ritual with a marker in my hand and wrote down letters as they came to me. In the cluster of syllables a pattern of phrases hit me like lightning. I am convinced that once the end comes and I become my inner monster, I will not need to attach myself to a name. Do Cthulhu or Satan call themselves that, or are those "just another name you humans like to call us"? So for now, my name is whatever you like. But I rather like the one I uncovered: LAM'MUQUL FAN'BEIFEL KAL'NURTIMIN'NATHER

I have been scrying and meditating and looking in Liber A:O and slept and awoken and slept again, and i have found my wizard name, or rather it has found me.
You are gonna laugh.
Mada G'th N
or rather
Mada G'thn
I find the symbiosis fitting. It has always been Madguten/Lut'vul'hashtan and it still is. But now the name has been adapted to the powerful glossary from Liber A:O.
ALKA MA RADU!
IA! LIBER A:O!
IA! IA! KTULU FTAGN!

Yes, i think so too.
I knew it from the first time i saw the A:O glossary, but i have considered it and other possibilities for a while now to see what stuck with me.
I shall use it in occult ways, in art and such.
It shall stand in runes. ;D

My names evolved from one another over time. Lord of Ash, Ash Obscurum (Obscurum is latin for darkness) Ashen, Ashen Nox (Nox is latin for night), Noxxen, and finally just Nox. I however hope to find a new name, one that reflects my new path and the Work. So what ever suggestions that anyone has for discovering such a name would be greatly appreciated and most helpful.
Edit: After looking at Liber A:O I've come up with a name, N'Ozra Sigth. Which means "Night will be madness", however I am not completely sure, I need to meditate upon this and perhaps search harder for a particular sound that jumps out at me.
