What's in my name
I've always tried coming up wit names that have a semblance of meaning, A character who dedicates themselves to defending others? Bastion. A character who wants nothing more than adventure? Name them after a character from myth: Wayland. And if all else fails just go with something that can be used as part of a slightly obvious pun, as is what I plan to do when Guild Wars 2 comes out in a few weeks and my first character (If no one's beaten me to that name) would be What Army (or a homophone for it). Because nothing would be better to me than playing with some friends and the line "You going to stop me? You and what army?" come up. Better than Christmas, Halloween and Easter all at once is a successful pun. As good as naming the player character Go Away in pokemon games or naming everyone Bob in an RPG and watching as everything becomes very confusing (probably best done on repeat playthroughs because sometimes the plot is good)
