[Opinions] Re: When naming your children or characters, what names do you tend to avoid?
naming my player characters in video games (mostly Fallout and Elder Scrolls) I try to have names that fit the character's race (humans of different kinds, elves, and the like) and also a name that is unique (not used before by a character in the series). then if they have a surname I use one from a minor background character in a different game in the series.
