Most of the names we have just were there, floating up to us, at roughly the same time when the alter became known to us. Sometimes we'd hear the name for days until the alter visited the body. Some names appear more than once here because multiple sources resonate for some names when we try to figure out why the name is here.
Variants of birth name: John, Little John, Johnny, Jonathan, Jack, John-John (changed to Quato); foreign variants: Hansel, Johann
Ancestral Names within Family of Origin: Aaron, Charles (changed to Chase), Chase (changed from Charles), Godwin, Henry (ancestor pioneer), George (changed to Sky), Daniel (pioneer)
Childhood friends: Luke [H], Matt [M], Michael [M] (Mike), Ty [H], Greg [B] (actually the brother of a friend)
People or names we knew in our youth: Andre, Carter, Gwen, Ryder, Randy/Randall (?)
Folk, literary, historical figures: Jack (the giant-killer; Jack Kennedy), Hansel (as in Gretel), Henry (John Henry, folk hero; King Henry), Dan/Daniel (Boone, pioneer), Edward (a knight or king in a book?), Zeb (?Zebulon Pike, pioneer), Inky (Enkido from Gilgamesh), Little John (the book Little John Little), Adam (Bible, first human), Pip/Phillip (Great Expectations)
TV/film: Brody (John Brodie, quarterback), Max (?Maximilian Schell, actor; Maximus in Gladiator), Ty/Tyler (Toby Tyler, film), Inky (Inkadinkadoo, song), Quato (Kuato, Scifi film character), Casper (the friendly ghost), Cole (Nat King Cole), Clark (Superman), Kent (Superman), Mxyzptlk (Superman impish villain), Sky (re-runs of Sky King)
Chosen by alter (if not, we don't know): Marc-Dominic, Nigel, Faolán (means "little wolf", maybe connected with Ashár, our wolfdog?), Chase (was Charles), Kyle (to sound like "kill"), Raisin Annie (no idea about "Annie" but "Raisin" is actually 'raising' or as in 'rescuing Annie'), Caleb and Hank (both these names have hillbilly connotations for us), Ryder
Suggested by John: Quato, Sphinx, Little John (to distinguish from John), Clark (Superman and because he make weird "clicks" when we first met him)
Named by Sphinx: Adam, Ashár

Variants of birth name: Yanni, Zane
Childhood friends: Vince, Scott
Folk, literary, historical figures: Cal (John Calvin, Christian reformer), Wats (John Watson, Sherlock's Holmes' friend), Oberon (Nigel's "mystical" name, from Shakespeare's The Tempest), Abraham (Lincoln), Estes (Kefauver, politician), Orval (Faubus, politician), Bartholomew Oobleck (Dr. Seuss book), Gaul (from Kalki + Golgotha, rejected by hosts), Gwendolyn (a fairy godmother in some story)
TV/film: Xavi (Xavier Cugat, Cuban bandleader), Hoyt
Wolf-meaning names: Randy, Ulric, Faolán, Adolf (Sky's original name, which we rejected; we renamed him a family name George, which he soon rejected); Ashár (we don't think it means wolf but he's half wolf, half dog)
Not sure: Seamus (shame us?, eh, maybe not)
Country- or hillbilly-sounding (to us): Hank, Caleb, Hoyt, and "cards" Flynn, Cam, Cully, Tuck, Able, Eberly, Will. Unlike most other names in our system, these don't have a particular meaning or association, other than country-ness. Cam is short for Campbell but that may not signify anything.
Orval and Sky didn't understood the bad people they chose their names from, but Gaul surely did understand the apocalyptic nature of his original name choices.

Gordon - because sounds like "guardian," which is sort of his role (?) Pehr - 3 associations, too personal to explain, 2 with homonyms for the name spoken aloud, "pear" Alvin, Sheldon - town names Erik - Viking Carl - not sure Ben - Franklin, when he was a boy

Colt - pony. Alters Colt and Cole were both abused in the basement and are connected. Kellen, Killian - not sure but "kill" is noticeable. Also, ten names in our system contain the pattern: K-sound + vowel + L
