I pick names via word concepts, like Zephyr would become Sypher, Siege would become Seij and Cruz would become Kreuzz. Then, there's also name generators, which I bastardize after. For example, Benedict would become Venery (IDK... It works for me) and there's also names in other languages for foreshadowing, like Tala (Stars). Then there are times when I'm feeling very creative (Sarcasm intended) Where I name them via attributes such as someone with silver eyes (Sylver) or someone who's ranked captain (Captain. That's her name. Really. I'm not joking) or someone with brown hair (Azalea. Then again, I'm sure azalea is color brown, but I'm not sure... Oh well)
