I'll go with the TWWA versions of my characters, since the most interesting ones are actually mostly used there.

1. What is your name?

Sergio Turbo.

2. What does your name mean? Did your parents/guardians or whoever named you have anything in mind when they gave you your name?

I actually chose it myself, back in my fc of origin where I was a kid with no known origin. I... may have named myself after my favourite car, the Ferrari F40, which is turbocharged and had its body designed by a company, Pininfarina, whose president at the time had Sergio as his first name. I'm told the name Sergio shares its roots with the rank of "sergeant", from an Etrurian name meaning "protector", so... I may have chosen it right. My surname, instead, I admit it sounds silly now that I'm an adult, but I don't see myself changing it now or ever.

3. What memorable experience did you have involving your name?

Not many, really. Unless you count Luxury mistaking me for Spanish since the Spanish spelling and pronunciation is the same.

4. Do you have a nickname? Did you choose it for yourself or did someone else?

A few people call me "Sarge", which is silly because in Strike Dove I have the rank of Captain instead. I'm kinda indifferent to it, though. Oh, and Arumi keeps calling me "Rookie" to this day, though I guess pretty much everyone looks like a rookie to her. I heard she's been in the PPC since the 90s? How did she stay sane that long?

5. What would you name your pet(s)?

I'm afraid I'm not much of a pet person, so I don't have the faintest idea.

1. What is your name?

Uhm... It's complicated. I went by Nikki Cherryflower before the Unravel, then some time after it I was adopted by the Kinomotos so I went by Nikki Cherryflower-Kinomoto, but then the timeline got rewritten with me having always been in the Kinomoto family and so I became Nikki Kinomoto. I... guess I'll leave it like that, because I'm not goign through the paperwork again.

2. What does your name mean? Did your parents/guardians or whoever named you have anything in mind when they gave you your name?

My name is kind of a corruption of Sakura Kinomoto's, the canon character I'm a badfic clone of. I ended up meeting her while I was still using the same name as her, so we had to hastly figure out a different way to call me. Eriol had divined out that I was from a "diary world", a fanfiction's, so I was the "Sakura from the diary", Nikki no Sakura. Nikki is also a name both in Japanese and English, and Sakura means "cherry blossom", so when I got rescruited by the PPC, suffering from amnesia at the time, I subconsciously came up with "Nikki Cherryflower". i used to write that in hiiragana when in Japan. After the timeline got rewritten I became Nikki Kinomoto, with the spelling 日葵 for my given name meaning "sun" and "hollyhock", while our family name is spelt 木之本 and means "origin of wood", but the last character could mean also "book". Dad isn't completely sure what's supposed to be the right one either.

3. What memorable experience did you have involving your name?

I... guess all of the above counts? Though nowadays I also have to deal with the fact that people from the same fanfiction I'm from tend who I haven't seen since then still called me Sakura at first... it's getting frustrating, having to explain that I'm not the original Sakura, and on top of that I became her sister!

4. Do you have a nickname? Did you choose it for yourself or did someone else?

My first name is pretty short, so pretty much everyone just calls me that. Well, except of that girl from Macross in Corolla's "girl geniuses" group who just doubles up everyone's first one or two syllabes, I'm "Nini" to her.

5. What would you name your pet(s)?

... I have no clue, I never gave it much thought.

1. What is your name?

Corolla!

2. What does your name mean? Did your parents/guardians or whoever named you have anything in mind when they gave you your name?

Well, it comes from the Toyota Corolla, since the theme naming in the Lyrical Nanoha universe is cars and I come from there. Well, kinda I was an unnamed bit, and so I tried to choose something cute after Sergio rescued me and I got recruited! In fact, Corolla is one of the market names for the car he drives, the Toyota Sprinter Trueno. That's where it comes, really, if he didn't think I could be saved I wouldn't be here at all.So it's a way to address my life debt!

3. What memorable experience did you have involving your name?

None really, surprisingly!

4. Do you have a nickname? Did you choose it for yourself or did someone else?

Let's see... Arumi calls me "Techie", and Makina calls me "Corocoro", but I like when kids call me "Auntie Corolla"! I want to be everyone's favourite auntie!

5. What would you name your pet(s)?

I used to have a pov, Mr. Snrfles, but I admit I didn't think of it until I adopted him. I guess I will always name my pets on a whim. Thats the most fun way!

1. What is your name?

Ami Tanegashima.

2. What does your name mean? Did your parents/guardians or whoever named you have anything in mind when they gave you your name?

My given name is written with the spelling 愛実, it can be read as "fond of sincerity" or "devoted to sincerity", among others ways. I'm told I'm a very honest, sincere person, so I guess my parents chose it right. My surname, Tanegashima, has the same spelling as the island with the same name, 種子島. I heard there's also a clan with the same name, descending from the barons who ruled the island, but I don't think I'm related.

3. What memorable experience did you have involving your name?

Well, I guess what I said: that I somehow ended up beign someone who lives up to it!

4. Do you have a nickname? Did you choose it for yourself or did someone else?

My name is very short and easy, so people close to me just call me that. At most, they add the -chan suffix if speaking in Japanese. Oh, wait, I actually did end up having a couple nicknames in school in the States, but... they were making fun of my height, so I won't mention them.

5. What would you name your pet(s)?

I... never thought about having pets. I have no idea.

1. What is your name?

My full name is Keiko Caterina Turbo.

2. What does your name mean? Did your parents/guardians or whoever named you have anything in mind when they gave you your name?

My first name is written 恵子, meaning something along the lines of "lucky child". Since my parents were the only survivors of their group in the Organization War, at least in my timeline, they believed I was very lucky to have been born at all. Cosidering how much of a weirdness magnet I am, though, I'm not so sure about the "lucky" part... My second name, Caterina, is the legal name of Aunt Kathleen. She had died in my timeline, but provided some help to my parents as a vision or something during the Blank Sprite Incident so it was a way to thank her. Now, she's back alive, and... doesn't seem to mind? We do get along though.

3. What memorable experience did you have involving your name?

As I said, in spite of my name I'm a huge weirdness magnet, even by PPC standards. Lucky girl, I am not.

4. Do you have a nickname? Did you choose it for yourself or did someone else?

Mom, Auntie Corolla, and lately Hajime too tend to shorten my name to "Kei". I don't mind, to be fair, I'm used to it.

5. What would you name your pet(s)?

I only had one pet, a pov called Dumbdores, and that's the name I had in the badfic I adopted it from. It never dawned it to me to give it a different one, it was a funny one. I lost him in the Unravel, sadly...

1. What is your name?

Hajime Irene Turbo.

2. What does your name mean? Did your parents/guardians or whoever named you have anything in mind when they gave you your name?

My fist name, Hajime, in Japanese is is written... 肇, I think? And means "beginning" .- Dad and Mom ended up going through many hardships before they managed to settle down, so having me was part of their new beginning in life. It's an unisex name, too, so they decided on it right away without needing to know whether I was a girl or a boy! Once they knew I was a girl, though, they added my second name, Irene, after my paternal grandmother. I'm so happy I finally got to meet her!

3. What memorable experience did you have involving your name?

None really, aside classmates asking me what kind of name it was - I'm half Italian and half Japanese, but I grew up in the States, so my name wasn't really common there.

4. Do you have a nickname? Did you choose it for yourself or did someone else?

IAside a few stupid ones in school, I don't have any, unless you count Keiko calling me "Sis"?

5. What would you name your pet(s)?

Before the Unravel I had four silky hens, which I had called Huette, Develine, Louise and Webby after the Ducktales characters. I miss them, they were so cute...

1. What is your name?

Arumi Knight, the one who is actually a car, at your service!

2. What does your name mean? Did your parents/guardians or whoever named you have anything in mind when they gave you your name?

Arumi derives from the designation I was supposed to have in the fic I was supposed to star in, a Knight Rider and Cardcaptor Sakura crossover that was never written. A.R.U.M.I., Advanced Roving Unit with Magical Intersystems. I somehow ended up at the PPC, and since they gave me a way to transform into an humanoid android I decided to turn my acronym into my given name, and give myself the surname Knight after the Knight foundation I was supposed to be part of.

3. What memorable experience did you have involving your name?

None really. People who meet in humanoid mode tend to take issue with my eyes first. I know they glow, but they're what my scanner becomes when transformed! No one is offended when my scanner glows!

4. Do you have a nickname? Did you choose it for yourself or did someone else?

I'm the one giving the nicknames here, buddy.

5. What would you name your pet(s)?

I'm not getting pets, period. I had my fill of dogs peeing on my tires, thank you.
