Name Generation in TTRPGs

Photographer: Simon Harmer There's a good reason why player's asking for a name is such a prevalent meme in the role playing zeitgeist. Names carry a weight of personality that is expected to translate, either through correlation or juxtaposition, into the character themselves. We see this expectation played out culturally as well, see Wikipedia's entry on nominative determinism for a better understanding of how that plays out, but needless to say, names have a kind of magnetism that can draw us in or repel us from a character. I find this especially true when reading. I don't know the number of characters whose names I've changed in my head to better suit my view of them, but it's easily in the three digit range.
