Anyway I usually tend to like the names of the Resident Evil series seeing as they arent to wierd and are linked to awesome characters like Albert Wesker, Claire and  Chris Redfield , Jill Valentine , Leon S. Kennedy :O 

I read that Rebecca Chambers from REØ got her name from two of the main female leads in the TV show Cheers (Rebecca Howe ± Diane Chambers =  Rebecca Chambers).  Makes me curious why game creators choose the names they do as well and what their inspirations were.
