Comment on How did you name your characters? by Reyniki
Comment History
All names have special meanings.
Usually I pick them from fandoms I belong to: "Ravenclaw', "Fawkes", "Mockingjay", "Midona"...
I also pick names that matter on a personal way: "Rakkan" who comes from Japanes, "Poumky" was the name of my favorite horse at club
And when nothing hits me I try to fins something related to the appearance/personality of the character: hence why my chocolate roan piebald is called "Cappuccino", because her body is both very dark, near black as coffeee, and has some large areas of white and chocolate color...
Usually everything is made on purpose with my name. My only character that has a name that doesn't mean a lot is Phase, the wolf I adopted from Hlaorith. She chose the name and I wanted to respect her choice (well I still asked her why she chose this name ahahah). And well I fell in love with this character, so it would be weird for me to change his name, because for me designs are more than simple shapes and color on a reference sheet.
