I'm a bit curious about how everyone here chooses their character's name when writing a story. What sort of method do you use in order to have a name you like? And also, is naming your character carefully a priority for you?
For me, I often choose a character name based upon something which has a strong influence in my life. For example, in a novelette I had once written, my protagonist's name was Cassandra. I chose the name because of a song titled "Cassandra" by Thomas Bergerson, because it held strong relevance for me. Other times, I've named characters after actual people. And for me, it is a huge priority, as naming them something bland like "Bob" (no offense intended for anyone whose name might potentially be Bob) would make me just grow bored.
Anyway, hoping to hear some awesome responses!
