I like to keep te names.... I don't think that shows a lack of imagination on my part but rather an apreatiation for the imagination of the story writers....

I find that the names suit the characters and also have added meaning some times...

At least I don't change them the first time through....

Once I have gone through once the characters are liable to get stuck with all sorts of names ranging from:

Lestat (A Vampire in Anne Rice Novels)
Frodo (Hobbit in Lord of the Rings)
Maiku (A name I created.....)
Legolas(ANother Lord of the rings character)
Cecil (FF4 Character name)

Just Some of the names my main char ends up with....
