	The name Halcove was coined when coming up with an island name for [[Animal Crossing: New Horizons]] within the 10-character limit. I never played the game again within 24 hours, but I had to use the name for something... and here we are! Luckily, the name can extend to words like "Halverse" (Halvorse~~...~~ n)~~, "~~Halworld" (Palworld), [[wikipedia:HAL_Laboratory\|Halken]]~~... ; flexibility was the number one value that went into finding a name.~~		* Halverse (Halvorse<s>n</s>)

	~~Names~~ are nothing more than words, proper nouns in fact; used to describe or define a specific and unique object. Human names are often based on existing words of common nouns or adjectives. ~~Take the name Victor, a word which means ''conqueror,'' originating from Latin's~~ ''~~vincere~~''~~.

If we name objects, pets, places, and virtually everything else we interact with for their actual function, purpose, origin, or timbre, there's no reason human names would be any different.		As you can tell, flexibility was the number one value that went into finding a name. For reasons explained below, I'm very proud of my surname and like to brandish it whenever I can. But what about my middle name? Moreover, why does it seem to confuse so many people?

			I mean, names are nothing more than words, proper nouns in fact... They've always been used to describe or define a specific and unique object. Human names are often based on existing words of common nouns or adjectives. People seem to get confused at ''North'', but don't bat an eye to the people named

			* Joy
			* Grace
			* Hunter
			* Victor
			* Chandler
			* Mason
			* Taylor
			* Jasmine
			* Drake
			* Chance
			* Miles
			* Holly
			* Storm
			* Carter
			* ..........need I go on? All of those are just basic words. What makes North different?

			Names aren't random syllables without origin that happen to sound pretty. If we name objects, pets, places, and virtually everything else we interact with for their actual function, purpose, origin, or timbre, there's no reason human names would be any different.

	I've never really gone by my full birth name. Family never used my first name, I've never made an active decision to use my last name on things like social media. My middle name was also not very pronounceable. Most of my birth name was never anything that I ever associated myself with, or recognised as my own. And since it became dangerous for me to continue using it, I ended up moving away from it. Keeping the first paragraph in mind, I made sure to keep the names in line with what makes up my character. This name change also took place during the shift into legal adulthood, so it does represent a period of my life where the old name essentially represents a different time period entirely.

	What is a name?		What is a name?

	They are words, proper nouns in fact; historically used to describe or define a specific, defined, and unique object. However, they are often based on existing words. Take the name Victor, ~~which is~~ a ~~literal~~ word ~~meaning~~ ''to conquer,'' originating from Latin's ''vincere''. Or the compound word Aléxandros, which is ''"defender of man''" in Greek, later angelicised to become Alexander. There's also names such as Hope, Angel, Amber, Genesis, and so on. Names aren't random syllables without origin that happen to sound pretty. If we name objects, pets, places, and virtually everything we interact with for their actual function, purpose, origin, or timbre, there's no reason human names should be any different.

	I've never really gone by my full birth name. Family never used my first name, I've never made an active decision to use my last name on things like social media. My middle name was also not very pronounceable. Most of my birth name was never anything that I ever associated myself with, or recognised as my own. And since it became dangerous for me to continue using it, I ended up moving away from it. Keeping the first paragraph in mind, I made sure to keep the names in line with what makes up my character. This name change also took place during the shift into legal adulthood, so it does represent a period of my life where the old name essentially represents a different time period entirely.
