I definitely feel like this has been a thread already, but here it goes!
Sophia is a minor alteration of my actual name. When I was a dumb little child, I felt like Sophie was an old granny name like Mildred or Olga and that Sophia was much prettier name. I like my name now, but considering the character, I feel like Sophia fits better as she is supposed to seem perfect and Sue-ish on a surface level (of course, she isn't a Sue omgplsdontkillme). Her last name 'Grave' is a mutation of her true Garlean name and manages to give her a sort of menacing feel while rolling off the tongue. Sophia Grave essentially does everything I want it to for the character.
For Lorelei, I've always just liked the name. It fits because the name is German and she is a Highlander. While she certainly doesn't lure fishermen to their death via song like the original character, she does love to sing, so I guess that fits well enough. Armstrong, her surname, is just very Highlander-y to me and rolls well with her first name. Funny story: right after I made the character and leveled her decently, I was in the Quicksand for whatever reason and saw Berrod RPing. I facepalmed when I realized that there was already an Armstrong and almost deleted the character right there so I could rename her, but nothing came to mind, so I never did.
