Well, duh...I just realized that you wanted to find out HOW we came up with the names, so here goes again:
Sigir: More of a Nordic-sounding name. I always like to have a Norse warrior represented in the party.
Daevi: I needed a rakish-sounding name for a Thief, and Davy was too commonplace, so I just rearranged some letters to come up with it.
Kris: Again, a northern-type name, more appropriate for a Wizard (he started out as a wizard, even though he's a Ninja now)
Sylvia: I've always liked the name; also sounds appropriate for a Valkyrie (which is her end goal). Sad to say, Northern female names sound so harsh (like Hjordis, etc.) I did consider Swanhilda, but rejected it for being a little too high-brow. As I'm fond of saying, you can be a Highbrow and get full of Art and Culture, but I'm going to be a "Half-brow" (Hofbrau) and get full of beer instead.
Sorry about the repost. That's what happens when you're posting in one window and working in another (building curricula for a web master program here at our school, sheesh.)
