I got a mule character called The Headless Muleman and an Argonian named Faps-In-Shadows.

I'm not creative.

Isnt the "headless mule" some kind of spook story? Im pretty sure it is here where I live(Brazil).

On topic.

I mostly name my characters based on their builds theme or their race, my Werewolf is named "Donmor Hunting-Crescent" and my khajit archer is called "Do'fer Sohlnai" (being Do the prefix of Warrior in Khajitti language)

I normally go with "names" made of a jumble of letters I tip on the keyboard as well, rearranging them to make them kinda fitting for a fantasy world. Or I go with names I personally like. And in both cases I don't give a flying f**** about lore or anything like that, or the people who might think going for example by the name of Hugo or Karl (my dad's standard game character names) is anti lorish or something and doesn't fit into a fantasy world.
So most of my Characters are named by rearranged letters, though some have other names than just that. Here are my character names.
My Main: Limaas, a male Argonian.
Anaraila, a female High Elf.
Naemenari, a female Wood Elf.
Murakesh, a male Khajiit. Wanted to name him Marek or Marik, or a variation of that, since my Skyrim Khajiit was named that and I wanted to keep with that, but it was already taken, ao I went with Murakesh instead, something based on that name, but in the end something completely different.
And then I have three characters, that are named in another style.
Seymour Thorbrandsson, an Imperial male werewolf. A long time ago I read a book series, Die Erben der Nacht, where there was a werewolf called Seymour. Since I wanted to make him a werewolf from the very beginning, I went witht that name. Don't ask what made me make his last name Thorbrandsson, but I think it was me linking the name Thorbrand and thus this last name was born.
I also have a male Breton by the name of Kilian Corvus. Here again I went with a name I like, Kilian, that sadly was already taken as well, so I thought about something cool to add and Corvus, the raven in latin, came to my mind.
The last character I made so far, my Orc Lady, goes by the name of Lady Gora the Red. The name I had in mind was Zora the Red, or the Red Zora or whatever "Die Rote Zora" is called in the English version of the book, me only knowing the German. Then I thought, well, you have an Orc here, Zora sounds too soft, go with something that reminds of gore, and fuse it with the name. Thus, Gora. The Lady was added because obviously, she is a Lady.

My last three were created just for crafting, (for the current event) I went Argonian so that I could have some fun with their names.

Paints With Poo
Touches Self Often
Pushes in Stool

My tag has always been Jeezye, and my toons are just variations of that. I got Jeezye, Tweezye, Ghweezye, Squeezye, with the only exception being my lovely argonian Templar named Shakes-Beer

Tatyana ali-main magplar
Arivanya thromal- sorc
Beechblade- nightblade
And many others these are my main ones.

same as many here, I'll take names & place names I like & tweak them...

Winola becomes Vinoleah
Aurelia is Aurelianwe
or like Philadae, one guess where I'm near?
& my Nord lass is extra tall so of course her name needed to be extra feminine, & she's Olanthe

its fun & not too tricksy to make ESO-friendly variants of names you like!
sometimes I'll search "celtic names" or "egyptian names" or "mythology names" & then work from there...
I'd always rather have a weird name than a boring one

It goes back and forth between lore friendly names and just dumb stuff I came up with on the spot.

For example, besides Caterina Sforza and Nalcarya Graywatch, are their best friends Fish Jenga and All Hail the Glow Star.

As you can see from my signature, all my characters are variation of Xaraan.

It's fantasy friendly name that suits my RPish needs that I made up to use on a D&D character loooong ago. Now I Use it in games.

In a single player game I might use it for one run, but I do use different names for different characters. But with comms used in multi-player I wanted my character name to be the same as my account/TS name for callouts and less confusion.
