I loooooove this thread I love stories behind character concepts. My character names are mostly self-referential jokes. I get inspired by songs and movies and Marcy's FFXIV incarnation came out of frustration over not knowing how to frame his motivations until someone told me to "just write Ryan Gosling from Drive, it will be funny" (Drive being the kind of movie people reference to be ~edgy and ~cool).
Now he turned out to be a much different character through growth and interaction but there are still a lot of similarities and themes between him and the Driver. Marcellain is a variation on Marcellus, which means "hammer". There is a really famous hammer scene I won't link here because of graphic content, but that's it that's the joke.
Also it's a play on Mars, referencing those similar anger/wrath themes again. Chevallier is his family name because of their connection to the Twin Adders.
