jhosevink: Ultimately, it's up to each individual player to decide how they want to name their characters and what feels most comfortable and enjoyable for them
I would argue it is not. We are biological entities who are driven by chemical reactions in our brains and groins, which determine all the "choices" we make.
Also, if you happen to be a buddhist, ultimately fate has predefined everything for you already before you were born. It does not matter what you do, things will still happen in a predetermined way.
Hence, I usually name my characters by Frederique StiffelStröffeln. Other times I use a random name generator.
