    Question What Names Are You Drawn To?

    This might sound like an odd question, but let me explain what I mean.
    As a writer and a gamer, there are names that I'm drawn to/like to use for my characters. Although I use a variety of names, I found it fascinating when I noticed that a lot of the names I like to use are from certain cultures and languages.

    Most of the first names I like are of a Greek or Slavic origin, but I lean more towards Greek names. There are other names from other cultures and languages that I like, but those are two of the most common.

    How about you guys?

    Edit: Since you guys are listing specific names, I'll list some of the names I like (some don't fit in the categories I listed above):

    - Alexios
    - Aurora
    - Constantine
    - Delphine
    - Ignatius
    - Katica (I'm biased on this one, this was my 2nd great-grandmother's name).
    - Demetrius
    - Hadriana
    - Velimir (biased, my great-grandfather's name)

    French.



    My newborn son's name is Gaston. When he's a lad we'll feed him four dozen eggs every morning to help him get large.

    O.M.G. The last part got me
    But in all seriousness, Gaston is a cute name. Congrats
