[It's not exactly a priority in anachronistic Greco-Romanland okay.]

most people are born with names right

what about people who aren't

how do they get names

or at least ones that don't suck

and if you weren't born with a name or a purpose and you found your own but you can't do it here

what the hell are you supposed to do

A colloquialism from my home- it's a way of referring to someone positively and with respect. The implication is that they're tough or canny enough to be able to handle themselves in dangerous situations.

In any case, your dilemma isn't an uncommon one where I'm from.

Some decide based on sound and aesthetics alone, or take letters or syllables from other names, or are basically random. Others are descriptive or name themselves for something or someone that holds personal significance.

What an individual wants from their name often influences how they'll choose it.
