I "steal" names from fiction.

For example, Saithana is the name of my BG1 and BG2 character. In the Winter of the World series of books by Michael Scott Rohan, Saithana is a goddess, the daughter of Niarad Sea King, the god of the ocean.

A long-time p&p AD&D character of mine was called Caladan, after the home planet of the Atreides family in the Dune series of books by Frank Herbert.

P.S. My name is Craig.
