If you make a name on your own:
* Make sure your character has a name that isn't something that sounds like a juvenile's AIM screennamescreen-name. Avoid numbers, slang terms and spelling errors if at all possible.
* If your character's name will be only part of their name, record their full name somewhere.
* If your character's name will be a nickname of that character's, be sure to have a real name for your character handy.
