I am not always careful with the names I choose, but there usually is some personal, popular, historical, or lore-friendly reasoning behind the names I give to people of the dynasty.

I don't know if there's an actual term for it, but there's also the cases which seem to happen just as often where someone becomes the exact opposite of their name. I actually think about that a lot, since it applies with me personally. My real name would make for a good Captain Planet villain, but that isn't me at all...
