How do you name your characters? Question
I prefer human names for human characters, while for other species, I use the RNG (random name generator).

For Sith I typically try to find a "bad guy" sounding word (I.e plague, insidious, tyrant) and add "us" to the end of it so they sound cool with the Lord or Darth titles as a prefix. Sometimes what I come up with is taken so I have to improvise. My most played SW is called Voladus (Volatile + us), hence, Darth Voladus. Volatus was taken.
For Jedi and non-force characters, I name them anything that has "ae" in the name, (I.e Jaecon, Aeron, Aegon, Maeve) as my headcanon is they're all part of the Willsaam family. Jaesa is one of my two favourite companions with a known surname so that was my only choice.
It's a consistent pattern I like to follow.
