Do you give your characters meaningful names?

I just name them all aureliano or Jose Arcadio

what if you have more than 2 characters?

>>7733839
just make up some gibberish

roll some dice and pick the respective letters in the alphabet

characters from outer space get names without vowels and the love interest(s) is/are named after the hot girls from high school

Most of the time, not always. Sometimes it isn't about the meaning of the name and just how it sounds, or if you picture them in your mind and they look like that name. Take the name "Jessica" for example. You here that name and immediately recognize that this is a bitch character.

Yea, I just name them all Reggie.

whichever character is introduced first gets named Emory Custard and stays that way the entire first draft. been that way with everything i've ever written
