Most of my characters ended up with names based on what the character is for, or related to some kind of background gag or terrible pun. Some examples:


 * Novus, the human male Vanguard (masculine form of Nova)
 * Sideways, the turian Sentinel (because "turian" comes from "centurion," and Roman centurions wore their helmet crests sideways)
 * Britus, the human male Infiltrator (from Brita, the brand of water filter -- he's an in-filt-rator, after all...)
 * Carl and Jarl, the drell Vanguard and Adept (because Thane is an old Viking term for a nobleman's retainer, and Carl and Jarl are also nordic social ranks)
 * Tyrannus, the krogan Vanguard (derived from Tyrannosaurus (W)rex)
 * Lady Explodia, the human female Adept (built for biotic detonations, of course)
