Tova:
Or, less entertainingly, maybe they simply decided to use the same PIN for convenience.

Is it cold in here?:
Yes, Claire is a graduate student. She said so when confronting Marten about the poor job he was doing at orientation.

I'm no author, but I've found that the name is always the last thing I do when creating a D&D || Pathfinder character, and even then, it tends to get shortened into a nickname.

I'm about halfway through the first draft of my latest WIP.

So far I have "SAILORNAME", "OTHERSAILORNAME", "BADCAPTAIN", "OLDBOATNAME" and "NEWBOATNAME" scattered throughout the manuscript... sometimes the names come easy, sometimes you have to crowdsource! :)

Thrudd:
When it comes to names my solution is a bit of this and a bit of that.
One of several random name generators based on what ethnic flavor I am going for and pick one that catches my fancy or seems to fit the character concept for the story.
The other is a random word generator that then feeds into a fantasy language generator. This is a little harder and usually ends up with a bit of smoothing with a blunt object out to make it more palatable to whomever will be stuck having to try and pronounce it during a convention slot.

Yeah I write/wrote/edited adventure modules for the RPGA as well as some more local conventions back-in-the-day.  :parrot:

Cornelius:
Well, for a similar problem to Melon's here, people have personalised doors before. But that might not be an option.

Still, if it were, I wonder what her door would look like?
