Here are the origins for mine:

Psyche Nemesis - psionic - elf - intelligent 2
Psyche was the beautiful girl Eros fell in love with
Nemesis was the Greek Goddess of Justice
I used these two separately in Diablo and combined them together into one later on.
She's my premier figment of the imagination.
Most of my other character creations share her family name so that all my characters are one big happy family.

Ioleysa Nemesis - mage - elf - chaotic 2
Ioleysa was a name which I created flipping through the dictionary and using word roots and the like.
It's suppose to mean "young green spirited one," though her nickname Iosa actually means "little purple spark." It's something I did to reflect on how things change their meaning through time and how original meanings get corrupted. This name has grown on me.

Sionae Nemesis - ranger - dracon - loner 1
I've seen several versions of this name, so I don't know if there's already other sources for it. I've seen Sioned from books by Melanie Rawn. And I think I saw Siona from books by Frank Herbert. Sionae with the extra 'e' is the version I choose to use.

Minalius Nemesis - gadgeteer- elf - eccentric 2
Minalius was also a name which I created flipping through the dictionary and using word roots and the like. It's suppose to mean "secretive" and "blue." This name hasn't grown on me as much because the latter half sounds too masculine to me.

Leyladin - priest - rawulf - kindly 1
Leyladin was a black order healer from books by L.E. Modesitt Jr. She likes the color green. I like her.

Zyanya - alchemist - elf - kindly 2
Zyanya was a girl from a book by Gary Jenning. I like her.

So, those are the names I use. I tried to match the quotes with the personality in which each character should have considering their class. I had a slightly different mixture in previous parties, which accounted for a name change or two. Those two other names were drawn from animes, Ifurita from El Hazard and Sakura Shinguji from Sakura Taisen.
