I read a book once, about a boy who could summon a superstorm-type maelstrom, called a tempest. My name back then was TheTest, and I thought that TheTempest sounded much more awesome :D
I'm one of those people that can't copy a name. I can't stand myself when I choose a name of something that exists like a character from a book or TV show. So I chose a name that to my knowledge, was not in a book, TV show, e.t.c., and It reflected me... so It was either The-Me , or The-Con...
