[color=ff00cc] [size=1]My names just seem to pop into my head... My foreign names were picked by me, too. ^^;
------

Juuthena (It's my middle name, but I actually requested we add it when we had to renew our Green Card. ^_^; )

Releè Kittana
Laitina Eithil (Eithil means 'free water' in Elvish)
Celestine Kittana (Celestine is a gem. I really liked the way the word looked, so I changed the 'i' sound.)
Astreè Kittana
Kei Asamiya
Asuri Asamiya
Satine
Ariadne Kittana (Ariadne is a Greek Princess.)
-------
Upcoming Characters:

Chastil Kittana (I love this last name. I have no idea why...)
Shynia Gladden
Evian Luthien

More to come. ^_^;[/color] [/size]

[color=darkred][size=1]I get my titles from nothing, really. They just appear in my head.

My names tend to be because I write the character, then I choose a name that fits with it. Usually I have a distinct letter in my head, so if it doesn't start with that letter, it won't fit.[/color][/size]

What's with the light-blue-on-white type? My eyes'd bleed if I tried to read all that.

Anyway, my screen names usually come from whatever fandom it is, so I have a different name in every fandom. My character names depends on who they're supposed to be. If it's elsewhere on Earth, well, you don't go around naming Japanese people Dave and Stan and Jack. If I'm really bored, I might go farther, like if a character's a reporter, do a search for Fuji TV, and name a real Japanese reporter. If it's for an alien (in something I'm working on in real life; its details are TOP top secret) well, their names aren't supposed to be connected to anything Earthly, so they've gotta be made up. And Digimon names can't just be -mon stuck on whatever it's based on. I love the double-meaning names in the show, like Lucemon, Luce being Italian for light and short for Lucifer. He looks like an adorable l'il 9- or 10-year-old, with angelic wings, Vaccine attribute, Angel type, Virus Busters family, the card stats of ultra-goodness... and he's but it turns out he's evil squared and plunged the world into tyranny. Coool.

Some sites I use to help in name-selection:
