Choose a Favorite Character or Thing

If you have a favorite historical person, character, or mythological theory, you can always name them after the person, pet, or thing that changed your life. After all, literature and entertainment give us some pretty nifty options to choose from.

Draw at Random

You can always leave it up to fate or let luck choose for you. There’s still the classic trick of picking your favorite names, writing them down on a piece of paper, putting them in a hat, and drawing whichever one meets your hand first.

There are also online sites where you can input a couple of selections and the site will randomly choose for you. Thanks, technology!
