#but yeah I really do feel like reine tays just fits. thank you various baby name websites for ur service o7

[tvckerwash]

@joltning most of my name hc's are pretty self-explanatory, but here they are anyway because I'm normal about fictional characters and over think everything lol.

for Connie her dog tags follow the same numeration used in halo canon, and while the ‘rt’ at the end of her service number is obviously meant to be ‘Rooster Teeth’, going by halo canon those letters would be her first and last initials, so Reine Tays.

For Wash, it's a Washington D.C joke, because of course, everything in David C's life continues to be a sick joke. It's been years since I originally picked out Caito (I wanna say between 2015-2017), but I'm pretty sure I just scoured one of those last name sites until I landed on Caito (which I pronounce k-toe, but iirc it's italian so I think it can also be pronounced cat-e-oh) and went "yeah that sounds nice".

For Carolina, Lilith was chosen since that's the name of a figure in jewish mythology—specifically a demon, because religion and ancient history are very big themes to the halo franchise and RvB followed the usage of those themes with Wash, the Meta, and Pfl.

I recently decided to supplement my original head canon though by giving her a middle initial in order to tie her to the Director. I chose Victoria as in victory or victorious.

For Tex, Bethany is from the “A girl known as Beth now known as Tex” line in A Girl Named Tex, and rather than making it Tex's middle name as Burnie said it could've been in some interview somewhere, I decided to make it Allison's maiden name in an effort to somewhat flesh her out as a person outside of her role as ‘dead wife/mother’.

Women choosing to hold on to their maiden names, at least in western society, are generally career women who are already established by that name in their field, and Allison was no different as a military woman. While being a wife and a mother were important parts of her identity, she was first and foremost a soldier committed to her duty.

For Maine, I'm pretty sure I stole Matthias from a fanfic, and Maine being a spartan is a pretty popular headcanon so a quick halopedia search gave birth to the B170, making him a SPARTAN III.

For the Innie Leader, I had an idea for a scene in my C.T lives AU pop up on a walk one day, and without spoiling anything I wanted something that sounded formal and gave the same energy as a parent or other authority figure using a child's full name to indicate how much trouble they're in. Joshua Daniels fits that vibe to me, but since it sounds so formal I wanted him to go by something more casual in other situations. J.D fits that, and it works as both a nod to his adoption of Connie’s identity in canon, but also explicitly contrasts how she used C.T to distance herself from others.

share with me some name hcs for characters who don’t have full ones! (or at all) =)
