A bloodline in EVE is a character's familial ancestry. There are three different bloodlines for every empire to choose from during character creation. From the character creation window: "Note: Bloodline selection will influence your character's appearance only. It does not affect access to skills or abilities."

In EVE Online, most corporations make use of voice communication (e.g. [[Mumble]]) during fleet operations, and also use their voice server available for casual chatter. You will sometimes need to identify yourself with your name while using voice comms, and other fleetmates will use your name to give you intel or instructions. Having a name that is simple and easily pronounceable will make things easier for everyone.

Pick your name carefully, especially your first name, as that will often be used as your callsign during fleet operations. If you pick a stupid name for yourself, you should prepare for some people to not take you seriously. Choosing something unpronounceable will make it more cumbersome for enemy fleet commanders to call you primary, but on the other hand it may introduce some difficulty in your own fleet as well.
