I choose a new one for every game. I like it to fit the character. My commander Shepard is named Jackson Shepard because I thought it sounded both stupid and possible. He looks like a bit of a jerk.
The names I use are usually a random roll from a name table I made.(All the names came from my most memorable characters in DnD games.
Drak- Elf druid
Alexander- Human mage
Lars- Half-elf fighter
Jacobe- Halfling paladin
Groos blade-tosser- orc barbarian
Renob- Gnome sorcerer
Adrick- Dwarf paladin
Teme'sth- human bard
Slen Gnome-eater- orc barbarian
Rafael- elf fighter
Back in the days when I played Garry's Mod roleplay (Mostly DarkRP in the beginning), my name was usually James Robbins. (If any of you used to play PERP or ORCP back in the day, well, it's nice to meet another veteran.)
If there's a default or fanon name, I just go with it. Otherwise... there aren't many names I tend to stick with. I look at the character's appearance or the setting of the game and just think up some random shit.
