How do you choose a character name? Names are an important part of a person’s identity, and that is no less true than for the characters we create. So how do you go about selecting a name for a new character? Do you have a list of favorite names that you refer to? Do you choose a name based on its meaning? Or do you select one because it sounds cool? And at what point in the creating process do you choose a name? Is it one of the first things you decide on, or do you develop other aspects like personality or history before deciding on a name?
