Maverick - I like to think of myself as a rebellious person; an unbranded animal. It also sounds pretty cool and is a catchy name. I get nicknamed "Mave" a lot, but I usually tell them to drop the 'e'. "Mav" looks more swaggy and is easier to spell.
Wolfblade - I love wolves, no question. I also love sharp things and have had quite a few "intimate relationships" with some, if you know what I mean, haha. But I'm better now, thanks to my friends' support and therapy/meds.
Oh who am I kidding. "Maverick Wolfblade" is the second persona, per se, to the main character in this story I'm writing.

But inspiration for that name really came from the above reasons. xD
Regarding the history of the name (not just the reasons), my beautiful Husky is named Maverick. She's my best friend, my entourage, my sister. <3 Wolfblade just clicks with me. It's a match-up of my two favorite things. (: No, I'm not a sicko. I don't just randomly "use" my blade on people in the street. I like them because they're shiny. O_O
And sharp, heh heh.
