 My first character I named Ella, after Ella Enchanted.

My second Character I named Katara from Avatar the last air bender.

Why? I don't think I have a reason, couldn't think of a name appropriate for the time period.

I name my fantasy characters Seracle. Just because I thought it sounded good when I first made it. Now it has become a tradition for fantasy games.

HNF S&S Warrior: Valora (Valiant)
HNM S&S warrior: Roland (Famed)

DA2
Gawain Hawke 2Hand warrior: (White Hawk of Battle---I **** you not)

William Hawke Mage: Defender

My character's name is Niamh, she's always Niamh in every game she's in.
Why?
Because that's her name...

I named my Warden "Shepard", causing the game to crash from trying to pack too much awesome into one character.

I know, I’m fired.

My male Dwarf Noble is Thorin Aeducan. I thought it sounded good. But also because Thorin Oakenshield was undone by his greed and my Thorin was also driven by greed, though not defeated by it.

Valaya Brosca is the name of my female Dwarf Commoner. Valaya is the only female Dwarf deity of the three gods worshipped by Dwarfs in Warhammer Fantasy.

My male Human Mage is Kenneth Amell. I wanted a Scottish name and Kenneth MacAlpin was King of the Picts and supposedly the first King of the Scots.

My male Dalish Elf is Daran'virnan Mahariel. His first name is Elvish and essentially means "I am the path of vengeance," which adequately sums up his character.

My female City Elf is Hermia Tabris. I chose Hermia because I wanted to use at least one Shakespearan name.

My female Human Noble is Rosalind Cousland. Did I mention that I'm a fan of Shakespeare?

I did create an Orlesian Grey Warden. I named him Merovech Caron, after the legendary founder of the Merovingian dynasty.

There's no such thing as putting too much thought into the name of your character.

My two favorite wardens were Aranel and Arya Tabris. I got the name Aranel from a Tolkien elvish name site, and Arya was inspired by George R.R Martin's character.

My favorite Hawkes were Ingrid and Brandon. Brandon is a family name, and Ingrid, well I just liked the name.

I also have a Brandon Shepard, and a Tanna Shepard.

My male human mage is Kain and his dog is Ebel. I chose it because he is an evil character so what better name than the biblical murderer Cain. Then of course I had to call the dog Abel (but I spelled it Ebel since I spelled Cain differently, too).

Sonja. I was reading a lot of Red Sonja comics at the time and wasn't feeling very creative.

My current warden is named Shoah. I'm pretty appalled with myself for going there, but her name is shaping how she's being played. Very much so, in fact.

City Elf - Kassad or Aenea

Kassad was a favourite character of mine from Hyperion (Dan Simmons) - he was this hardened Palestinian soldier from Mars. Aenea was basically this Jesus figure from the same novels.

My female human noble's name is Tiara Elissa (or just Tiara or Tia if short). I called her like this just to to emphasize her noble parentage.

All of my Wardens have a t least 1 'a' and at least 1 'n' in their name... because I can.

Human Noble Male: Teran Cousland (a play on teryn; current game)
Human Noble Female: Rienna Cousland (thought it was cool and appropriate)
Human Mage Female: Selena Cousland (Selena not Selina; same reason as Rienna)
City Elf Male: Orian Tabris (first character, I had no idea that the name is appropriate for an elf; based on Orion the constellation)
Dalish Elf Female: Vinaiya Mahariel (made it up, had no idea it was a real world name - it's an Indian female name; it went well with the surname)
Dwarf Commoner Female: Daina Brosca (thought it sounded funny, not to mention dwarven)
Dwarf Noble Male: Lehran Aeducan (based off of Lehran from the Fire Emblem series; I also named my warrior Hawke, Pelleas after another Fire Emblem character)

I consider all of them to be the actual people from the origins (so if I'm playing Orian for example, the rest had tragic ends - such as Daina dying with Leske, in her cell within Jarvia's lair), with the exception of Rienna Cousland, who is from a stand-alone universe, separate from the one the other 6 are in, and separate from other people's universes. Also, each Hawke has a name dependant on the imported game (or Garrett Hawke for those I haven't imported)

Yep, I take my characters very seriously in Origins. :whistle:

The only name of mine that had any reason was my "main" file. Dumat. Silent protagonist, god of silence. It seemed appropriate. My Hawke following that file is named Zazikel, after the god of chaos. You're lying if you say Hawke doesn't deserve that.

I name my characters after me " Pebbles " yes, my name is Pebbles not all the time i name my characters after my name.
But anyways the reason i name my Warden after me is i rather like the idea of me killing an archdemon, becoming queen, being bad ass, and marrying Alistair.

I am Pagan, i chose the name as it says a lot without committing to anything.
Pagan says i believe in nothing, but not that i won't learn.
Nice question original poster, the simple ones are always the best in forums.

i love to tease
thus i give the characters ( in a DA setting, andraste and all ) christian names

human noble - conrad, because it fits
elf mage - eve, because she's an elf and city elf and i wanted the name to sound human
human - daniel, "god is my judge' for someone who does not believe in the maker
