How do you name your character?

It largely depends on what kind of game it is, but if it's an RPG, I'll end up doing what I always do and spend 10-15 minutes trying to figure out an original name because I am a huge RP fag, and would die a little inside if I didn't have a name that made sense in the setting of the game.
I usually use Darias, after my first/main character in WoW... That or Dars, since that's what everyone calls me.
When i really don't care about it its usually just A, or AAA, something random like that. But usually its Ginnipe, just keepin my PSN name on eveerything so it doesnt get complicated.
Most of the time I use god awful names or things that I think are witty but are really epic failures. I remember in Platinum I name my character Nyx, my rival was Sunny, and the professor's assistant was Dawn. ((Get it? Night, Day, and Morning? Epic fail!))
Other then that, my normal character name is either Seth or Blight. Eh.....

If you're talking about Usernames, I usually go with something like my tag here. For character names, I like things that start with "V". I've used: Vondal, Vaedren, and Violet, but if I'm ever anything WH40K related, I use Xanthis.
I come up with names looking at objects around my room. I named my band on Rock Band 2 Red Watch after looking at one of my blankets and my Rorshach Watchmen poster. I came up with FirstToStrike after looking at one my trophies and my stitches on my finger.
Individually tailored names, and often back stories for every character I make.
I make up names, it's one of my favorite parts of RPGs.

I tend to use Xorena and Zaren for female and male characters, if I don't just make up a name on the spot.
Except in the Legend of Zelda games, where I pretty much always use "Link." Although I might start using Lunk now...

Nothing for games in general, but I always name my RTS personas Mattleaxe - a play on my name and my most ever-so-favourite weapon, o' course. 
Depends on the type of game.
If it's a MMO, where I'll interact with other players, I'll call myself Azraellod.
Otherwise, it depends on how I'm feeling at the time. If I'm feeling creative, it'll be something I make up unique to that character. If I'm not feeling creative, I'll either call them Karonos Kaos (if the character is male), Erzsabel (if the character is female), or I'll just leave the default name.
