because he is white,thats why WhiteRa.

haaahahaa


Because he used to be Ra from the Egyptian God, and then he was in some clan in BW called White-Ra. But because those fitted so well together he decided to use that name.

I dunno about Ret but I seem to recall IdrA saying that he got his name from a bastardized version of someone from Hindu mythology I think.

I could be wrong, but I don't think I am.

As far as I know, you're right: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indrajit

That's why he's Idrajit on Twitter.

Idra said once on his stream that his name was actually based on the Indian deity Indra but that he accidentally misspelled it.

For those asking about Artosis and his name take a look at his Real Talk episode with JP.



At 20:45 Artosis mentions how he started out with a name that was something like "Artmage" and how for a time that was his main name. Then, I believe its through a friend or something but he comes across the name of a KoRn song (from the Follow the Leader album) called "Cameltosis" and really likes the second half of that name. So he combines the first half of Artmage and Cameltosis and he gets...dun dun dun: Artosis.

EDIT: Its actually pretty cool how early in his life Artosis realizes that he wants to make a career out of video games in some way and that part of doing that successfully will involve having an original and recognizable name. I highly recommend watching his Real Talk episode

I thought I was hearing Arcmage but for some reason I couldn't reconcile the name combination without hearing it as "Artmage". Silly me. This chronic is really top notch though so you can't blame a negro.

Or can you?
