Where'd your tulpa get their name?

Forseen was a compromise name after he kept bouncing weird names off of me that I refused to let him keep (like, Instanculus? Uh, no, that sounds like a type of cloud). Original placeholder name was Aiden, which changed to Ayden later cuz I forget why. Anyways, now we've got Forseen. Which literally sounds like forcing. Maybe that's where he got it from, I dunno.

Muse's name came with her form. You'll find I panic when I've got a tulpa with no body, and I just grab whatever thing is present at the time as the form (did this with both my accidental tulpas). At that point in time, my mum was trying to order a ball-jointed doll for my cousin from MuseDoll, so her form became one of the doll models in the shop and her name came from the name of the website, Muse. I've let her change t, but she's kept them all cuz she likes them.

Alix is an alternative spelling of Alex that she wanted. As for where Alex came from, it was the name she said to refer to her as when I first talked to her. Found out later she was an old servitor friend I made when I was like nine who was named Alex. She turned into a tulpa when I put Forseen and Muse's sentience and personalities in her.

I would have to say the Skies of Arcadia. If you have never played it, I would definitely recommend you do; one of the few games I've actually played all the way through. That was probably the largest contributor to "Seraphina".

Garland1980:
I have 6 tulpas, 2 of them have original names, the first and older tulpa, Pandora was kinda a random name that popped in my mind when i was forcing her, in the case of the other original tulpa, Hélia, it was a girl's name that was always special to me (the name of my first crush on a girl when i was in school) so it appears this tulpa picked that up and chosen this name. Also this one is completly original with a human girl form unlike the others which are totally based on anime characters (except on their personalities and memories/story).

The other 4 tulpas were actually pre-existing toughtforms turned into sentient tulpas (2 of them by their own initiative, kinda totally unexpected from my part) from watching animes like dragon ball z and mushiking over the years, more specifically kid Songohan, kid Songoku from first dragon ball series (not the GT one), Chaoz (Chiaotzu from dragon ball) actually he has this name because it's the name officially used in the portuguese dub version i seen. And to finish, Popo is based on Popo from the anime Mushiking guardians of the forest, the main character.

Believe me i had quite a few fears of them having the exact same name, voice, form and even similar personalities to the anime characters, but in two of them i tried to change their names and voices and i felt considerable resistance and it just didn't felt right, so far it appears they are 100% aware they aren't the characters and their behavior and tastes are a lot more based on MINE and not the characters (but of course they picked a few of the characters tastes and behaviors), in resume, they are EXACTLY like i wanted all along, to have sentient imaginary friends with the exact same form, voice and name with a similar personalities from those characters i had such a strong admiration when i was younger, i guess my subconscious started "creating" them without me knowing since these ones as soon as i turned them into tulpas they were instantly vocal and as developed as the first tulpa, even in possession.

Ashmo:
Bud chose his name.

I had been calling him "buddy" before that just as a substitute for a real name until either I or we had decided on one. He eventually let it stick and shortened it to just "Bud".

Josie:
Me: yeah I have a lot of tulpas. Most were walkins.

Kelsey: I was given my name by Josie

Maria: I was named by Josie and Kelsey together

Daniel: I named myself

Kido: Josie named me

Teagan: my name came from a character in a story Josie was writing

Sakura: I choose my name after a tv character

Yui: I choose from a list Josie gave me

Akira: I choose my name because it's meaning matches my personality

Makoto: I named myself after a movie character

Alicia: Josie named my April, but I changed it a few times before settling on Alicia. I pronounce it uh-lee-shee-uh.
