How do you name your characters? Do you randomly name them or do you want their names to be meaningful (in a way), ominous or show off their personality? Also, where do you get their names from if any?
With my main fic, I don't have to worry too much about nanes as I'm working with canon characters for the most part. XD I did go with the most 'known' names for the main characters though (Wes and Rui), and with the few characters in my fic without names in the game, I actually tend to go towards common names, such as 'Tom' - a half-jab at the named characters'..names, which get really odd in Orre. Skrub, Doken, or Wakin are merely mild examples... heck, just look at Miror B. (Even if that name actually has reasoning behind it, it's... odd). Some have jokes within them as well...heh.
For a one-shot I did, I honestly just gave a bit of personal thought and came up with names that I thought sounded nice, without looking for any hidden meanings within their names.
