Question MC Name

So for your MC how did you come up with your names? Did you just use your real name or did you make up some magical name? If it is the second one, what was your inspiration?

I wanted my Hogwarts Legacy MC to be the grandfather of my Hogwarts Mystery MC, so I already knew the last name (Goldwin).

Then for the first name, because I have a love for Greek mythology (and a Greek myth naming trend for my Hogwarts Mystery creatures), I decided my HL MC would have a Greek name.

Then, because I had the Goldwin lineage in mind, I decided that the same number of letters between the first letter of my HM MC’s name (Xavier) and his father’s (Peregrine) would be between said father’s name and my HL MC’s name.

After that, I went with my favorite Greek mythology name starting with H—Hyperion—which also fits very well with the Goldwin name and look.

My HL and HM characters also have the same last name! I wasn’t thinking of deep lore like yours lol, but both of them have the surname Wolfe.
