I've been asked a couple of times where i got Kesslers name from, or if its after a character from Infamous.
But i havent played that and honestly as far as i can tell id never heard the name before; not that i thought i was making a new name up just, i dont recall hearing it before anywhere.

Similarly ive been asked if Alesana is named after a band, but id not heard of them until asked that soooo
that said she was going to be called Alissa after a singer, but i said her full name to myself a few times and decided to change it slightly.

Sierra was partially named after seeing someone else with a char named Sierra, and i was like, i like that, and thought the idea of using the police code for a name system amusing... alongside... other reasons behind her character.

The ONLY one of my chars that actually does take a name from something other than being completely made up as such is Moko, who takes her last name from... a um.... series >.>
