My characters names come from WoW. Back when I started playing WoW I wanted 'lore' appropriate names for my characters, but didn't really know the lore very well... so used it's name-generator (which used list's of names that were considered 'lore appropriate' for each race) for every character I made. There were some names that I really liked... so tend to use them in games I play.

I tried the random name generator here in XIV, but just couldn't find a name I liked. So ended up using non-lore appropriate names I'd used back in WoW.
