LordSkymask Personally I put lots of thoughts behind characters names, there's many times where I mindlessly name a character but, in most cases I'd do a big search and work on choosing the best name I believe I can find sometimes even create a
An entirely new name just for that one character,
Names can sometimes give a special addition to the character's general vibe and a flavor to the story, it could even get people to like a character just by the name.
As for names origins, I think having a suitable name for a character depending on their origins or the story's original place is a very good idea, but it's okay if you don't always follow that rule for example when you believe it's too late to change the name of the character.
( This is just my opinion)
