A post I dropped up in another forum in an area regarding naming guilds/characters, figured I'd drop the main inspiration for my character names here as well, just in case anyone was wondering what a 'Babalawo' was.
Druid:
Cadadius - One of the first druids (Celtic mythos) to appear in Irish folklore, capable of changing form into the creatures of the forest (historians believe he was the inspiration for Merlin).
Shaman:
Babalawo - An african term for the tribal priest meaning 'father of mysteries'. The tribal shaman can heal the sick, raise the dead and call upon nature.
Priest:
Onayepheton - An Archangel (Christian mythos) able to summon the dead and raise them to life again.
Warlock:
Phelan - A mystical figure from Aleister Crowley mythos able to summon demons.
On my character names...

Axavier - My son's middle name is Xavier and I like Axes.
Jaysen - My name Jason was not available so I went with what I could get. Old greek meaning of Jason is Healer.
Nutbar - My Mom always called me a nut or a nutbar while I was growing up so I used it.
Lyndane - combined my Mom's names Lynda Diane
Anwily - First three letters of my daughter Anwyn's name and the last three from my daughter Lily's name.
Annwyn - Had a druid named Anwyn and deleted it. When I made a new one a year later it was taken.
Thirdegree - he's a mage so why not?
