    source on the origin of aisha's name?

    i could SWEAR it was from a very dark song about someone stalking a woman named aisha, but of course, now that i'm trying to tell my partner, google is all 'lol idk what u mean :3'

    halp @_@

    edit: bam! bit of a bumpy road, but mamabear provided the interview i was remembering.

    here's the song the beloved neopet got its name from.

    I don't see how the origin can be from a contemporary song when it's been part of Muslim culture for centuries. *shrug* It may have also been used in a song, but that doesn't make it the origin. There's a Saints Row mission regarding dealing with a character called Aisha's stalker. Maybe that's the pop culture reference with which you're confused.

    I'm guessing Hare thought the song was the origin. I definitely didn't know it was a Muslim cultural thing, today I learned!

    guh. got moderation queue'd but

    so we're all clear: i don't think neo was the first use of 'aisha' and i'm sure it's culturally significant. i'm not THAT daft, drunk though i am.
    i am specifically asking if anyone can provide a source on an old interview wherein adam/donna reveal that aisha SPECIFICALLY GOT ITS NAME AS A NEOPET from a song with the mentioned subject matter.

    i read this years ago and my mind isn't the most stable place but i could swear i read an official source on this.

    i don't want to hear about religion and all that, i'm not that dumb to think neopets invented the name. it's a cultural name. i get that. i never thought neopets was 'the origin' of this specific five letter combination. god.

    saints row is baller tho

    PandaBearVoid: I was wondering, what went into the creation of the pet species? Where did you get the inspiration for the names, designs, colours etc.

    Donna: Haha. It really varied. The first few pets were really easy to come up with. We didnt have an existing fan base so we could just do what we wanted. Didnt have to consider if the new design was too similar to something we already had etc. The latter pets were a real headache. I think that was why we didn't add a new pet unless we had a land or major storyline to go along with it at the end.

    Names.. Adam and I hate naming things. It always has been the bane of our life. Our 2nd kid was 5 weeks old before he had a name! The names come from all over. Wocky is from Jabberwocky, Scorchio is from a Fast Show sketch, Aisha is from a Death in Vegas song we were listening to. I don't know why, the lyrics are "I am a murderer, Aisha, etc" doesn't really fit with cute cat-like creature when you think of it. Colours either came from an idea Adam and I had, or something one of the artists drew and looked good.

    I googled: Adam Donna how neopets got their names

    Your reply is a bit rude. You used the word origin and didn't specify that you were talking about Neopets. Maybe don't post when drunk, or post more carefully, if you don't want people to misinterpret your intentions.

    there it is, that's what i was looking for, cheers. knew i wasn't fuckin' imagining this.

    i mean...it's...hopefully pretty obvious on a neopets cheating forum that i would be looking for the origin of a neopet's name???

    honestly you sounded very rude to me, implying i thought neopets must be the origin of this five letter sequence and must be confused + including a let me google that for you link + talking about how this name is an ancient muslim thing and my white bum ought to have known better

    like..

    ???

    i might be drunk but that doesn't make me stupid or completely incapable of logic/reason/etc, thanks @_@

    anyway.

    thanks for linking me the source i was looking for uwu
    nothing i was googling was turning it up, but there it was
    no confusion about muslim language origins or whatever involved. neato.



    edit: real talk though, saints row IS a bitchin' fuckin' series...play the third if nothing else, you won't regret it

    Well, huh, I always associated with the "Aisha, Aisha, écoute moi?" (sp?) song, though didn't think it was necessarily the inspiration for the pet. I don't think I've heard the other, but it's too early in the morning for me to check.

    I don't want to stir up anything but calling Aisha "an ancient muslim thing" is a bit rude imho. Aisha was one of the wives of the Islamic founder and prophet Muhammad. Of course Adam and Donna didn't name their Aisha after her, but it is the same name (and the same name of the song).

    ah yeah, i was bristling a bit about it even being brought up since it wasn't relevant to the question i was asking and it felt like i was being scolded for not knowing who Aisha was, but i acknowledge how i phrased it was a bit wack. sorry about that, and hey, today i learned! thanks for bringing it up <3
    (i just woke up so I'm sorry if my wording is still terrible guh. genuinely)
