What's wrong with using a name from Roblox?
Anyway...
"Corbiere" is a lighthouse on Jersey, in the channel islands. My parents decided to name our house after it, no idea why.
If anyone has ever looked up my ID (6743) on RTB Lookup*, they would have noticed that the name "Corbiere" entered my user data as "Corbiere Crew", since Blockland was more of a game for my dad, brother and I to play on LAN at the time. Non-demo LAN allowed more than 150 bricks, so it was a good idea, and was my birthday present for my...er...13th or 14th birthday.
The origin of the name was also pretty wierd. I was on holiday in Austria, with the annoying tour guided groups you get in August 2008, and we had a kind of pub quiz. Our team name was "Corbiere Crew". So, on return to England, after buying the Blockland, it became the name.
Slowly but surely, both others lost interest, yet I remained hooked to Blockland. After about a month or two of owning the game, I decided to remove the "Crew" bit and change to "Corbiere", mostly because the name sounds awful, but also because now that I was the only one using Blockland, I could de-pluralise the name.
"Corbiere" had arrived...
*There's also a load of other crap - Palencia (A failed name change), Mr .Lol (A trick on Nightelf21...which worked...), and a few other name which can be ignored.

PowerDag:
I drew a cartoon character named Dag when I was a small child. It didn't have enough action and adventure, so eventually, I added Power for obvious reasons.
Recently, I've been thinking about changing it, but I just can't find a name that's perfect for me.
Warriorboy123:
Try using your real name, or something like it. Mine means "watchful" in Hebrew which fits because I love to observe people's emotions and expressions.
