Notice that a lot these names contain similar aspects, such as extended groups of vowels and dense clusters of consonants? I find it to be quite fascinating that these names were mostly received through through meditations and eldritch means, yet fit better than any name bestowed by society. Mne was no exception, but it used to be Anon-Ka before I delved a bit deeper and found Lhep'syk-Ka to be my true self. Basically, one needs to discover the self before they can really create for themselves an appropriate name. Take the core concept presented by your meditations and apply that which appeals to your aesthetic values, in order to find your name. Of course, the others here would be able to assist you further than myself, as I am just starting out.

I chose Adorahk Orrat as my Cult name. It is from the Viridian tongue and means 'Infecting diplomacy'.
That is how I like to see the way in which I introduce others to the left hand path. I usually make an effort to win people over, build their trust and then slowly introduce left hand path thinking to them. Typically I don't both trying to win over people already leaning towards the LHP but concentrate my efforts towards those who don't, those who are ignorant that there is actually more than one path to walk.
So I am the Infected Diplomat, the one slowly subverting the minds of those around me. Ia Adorahk Orrat !

I chose my name through careful meditation,With many nights looking over the Viridian language..I came up with Izratan'Sharaz.Which means Temple of Unseen Horrors. Throughout my years of meditation I've had an unknown presence around me. I sometimes see shadows,and hear whispers and many other things. And with my Mind and Body being my Temple, Izratan'Sharaz was a perfect choice..........Awake

Throughout my years of meditation I've had an unknown presence around me. I sometimes see shadows,and hear whispers and many other things. I have had the same sort of presence experience. However, mine tends to come to me more just as I start to fall asleep rather than during meditation. I have often wondered what I was experiencing exactly, and sometimes it feels like the presence is trying to startle me, almost like a game it's playing.
What are your (or anyone else's) thoughts on what the presence is?
Awake!

Excellent thread, this gave me some insight and ideas on going about choosing an Eldritch Name. I have been meditating nightly before going to sleep, I was hoping to induce a dream of Eldritch quality, but so far I have come up blank, except for some absurdities. I have also began to reread the Lovecraftian stories hoping maybe this would help spark a neuron firing in my brain and bring about some kind of sub-conscious conveyance. If anyone has any further suggestions, I would greatly appreciate this.

Before hand I was reading Lovecraft and the glossary in the back of Liber A:O, and poof it came to me lol. I think reading Lovecraft and dreams can deeply influence your choice on your name. Mine is Alba, which means duke of, and Kalool is interpretation. Duke of Interpretation. Good luck! Awake! Ia Ia Cthulhu fhtagn

Thanks Alba Kalool for your help. Talek is the cult name I have chosen. Talek means Consciousness, this was taken from the Liber A:O Glossary. The definition of Consciousness according to Webster's New World College Dictionary is 1: The state of being conscious; awareness of ones own feelings, what is happening around one, etc. 2: the totality of one's thoughts, feelings and impressions; conscious mind. When I started this journey to choose a cult name, I wanted one that reflected my personality, that said something about myself, that reflected a meaning of why I am a member of the Cult of Cthulhu, to remind me of what I am doing here. I began rereading the Lovecraftian stories and meditating before sleeping and thinking of the Ancient Ones, hoping that they would help me identify in some way. Well the other day I got my wish, and the Ancient Ones name of Dagon was presented before me. So I proceeded to find out all I could about Dagon and just how I identified with this Ancient One. I read the Lovecraftian story of Dagon again, and starting reading the story of The Shadow over Innsmouth, for I wanted to see how I fitted in with all of this, what was my connection. I have to admitted there where a lot of similarities, sometimes just too uncanny. Then yesterday Master Diabolus gave me guidance on a starting point for beginning the Great Work in the Thread start at Zero. I realized after reading his thread that was me. I begin to start trying to observe myself, to try and be in the now, the present, no past, no future. Self observing and reflecting. In the last paragraph did you catch the key words of - my personality, my self, to identify. Ah, but I wanted to fit in with the Cult. I want to identify! The thread of start at Zero, make a list of all things you identify with; along lengthy list! Thanks Master Diabolus for helping to begin the destruction of my ego, now I am lost. This is probably the best guidance I have ever received from anyone, observe self, to remember self, do not IDENTIFY! Stay in the present in the now, no past, no future. I was starting the cycle of sleep, all over again, trying to identify, to fit in and get my cult name. Never mind that ever thing that I know about myself is not the real me. Thank goodness I had a moment of now, of consciousness! This is why I am here to AWAKE! PS... The name of Talek doesn't resonate with me at all, I don't think of me as being a Talek. Absolutely perfect, I can't Identify, the name just reminds me of why I am here. Ia Ia Cthulhu! Awake! Talek Herald of the Old Gods Cult of Cthulhu

Welcome Talek! Sounds like you are well on your way. Its good you picked a name that you don't identify with, sounds like you got a good grasp on what the CoC is about. I think you'll like it here.
welcome.
Awake!
