After too much Sailor Moon and Harry Potter fanfiction, where every name *has* to have a meaning, I started to dislike giving people names based on what they mean.

Nowadays, I'm actually more likely to use a random number generator and a list of names I got from a friend to find a name for somebody. xD

There are a few exceptions to that, though. One of my most favorite characters is named Sylv, and I particularly chose that name for him. And my username, Temmon, is a name that I came up with myself. Actually it came to me in a dream.

Plus I don't like using particularly exotic names, as I set most of my stories in a more modern day world they don't tend to fit particularly well with a really outlandish nomiker.
