Question of the Day (Day 38:) What's in a Name?

When creating a character, one of most surprisingly time-consuming parts is often picking the character's name. A character's name s a sort of ambassador to the character, it introduces them to the world and can give a little snippet of their personality.

Sometimes the name is chosen by the character, sometimes it is assigned by a caregiver or authority figure, but it almost always has some sort of meaning to the player (even if it is chosen simply as a pun or because it sounds cool.)

To the character themselves, it my not have any particular symbolism or meaning, but what does your character's name mean for the character?
