When I named this merc about 2 years ago I was simply thinking of a really... "alien" sort of name. Something that sounded weird and foreign and the sort of thing some could spend a lifetime without hearing it. Today, however, I was bored and suddenly I though: "Hey, I wonder if google translate can find a meaning in my merc's name." So I checked and well... apparently google says I'm a horse. Jaran = Horse in Javanese (not japanese, javanese) 
Can google translate any of your names? and if not, what made you name your mercs with their given name in particular?

My other character, xSaloLx, while ignoring the x's, is the last four letters of my real name backwards with an L than signifies "Lemato," which is a portmanteau of lemon and tomato... Don't worry about the origin.

Oh cool, a free shooter, think I'll sign up.
Wait, I have to pick a race. Well, clearly the Amarr are racist pigs, oh, that robot lookin dude is cool.
Wtf is a minmatar??? I have to name it?! Jesus.
Uhhhh... Think robot voice... Uh
And there you have it. I put a lot more thought into my alts.
lol, this is pretty much how I ended up selecting gallente for my first character upon reading their descriptions this was my first impresion of each of the 4 races: Amarr:Hypocritic slave traders that justify everything with their "religion", Minmatar: The amarr slaves fighting for their freedom, Caldari: A cold militarized faction based on military prowess with low concern for the lives of it's people, Gallente: Pretty much sounded like the average current day american government, welcome everyone who's willing to fight with you and boast about absolute freedom that isn't actually as literal as it's made up to be... I ended up going for gallente because they seemed like the most "standard" race out of the 4 and because I liked how the medium frame in the gallente character selection looked like.
