User blog comment:LoverOfAllTheTurtles/How Do you Name your Characters?/@comment-5720596-20150102071839

I name my characters the same way Dskmd does. For instance I named one of my characters Violet Tannehill and the reason for that was because the Miami Dolphins were playing while I was trying to think of a last name for her and the QB for the Dolphins is named Ryan Tannehill so I thought that would be a cool last name. One character in my current fanon is named Vera Roche, she was named after Vernon Roche from Witcher 2 which is a video game that I happened to be playing at the time. Then there is Briana Roden who was named after Holland Roden from Teen Wolf.

When it comes to first names I try to use first names that have not appeared on the actual Survivor. Granted I have used first names of people who have been on the show but I try not to for the most part.
