Have fun with this one. Here's my characters bio if that makes it any more interesting of a story as to why I chose the name.
"...Capt...Kirk...he...lack...hole...cau...ing...xtre...e...mounts of...ime...wav....istor...ion. Stat...ic...gro...ing...wil....try...to...trans...it...the...data...his...may be...my...last...messa...(static)."
That was the day on stardate 6894.5 which brought me to this galaxy. The black hole created an inter-galactic wormhole and transported me here. I decided to make the best of my time and study the culture. I soon learned of an ancient race of mystical beings called Jedi. Intrigued, I began to research everything I could on them. I then learned that I had a potential to use this Force. I now have devoted my life to achieving this goal. Not only that, but I have also calculated that if I use the Force on the wormhole that sent me here I would be able to travel back through to my galaxy without showing that I had left at all. Using all my logical capabilities I know that I will conquer this problem and return to my universe.
Dif-tor heh smusma.

Riis' Star Wars Name quality sheet (subjective as all are)
Your name will be rated on a "Yes" or "No" basis. If there is a specific reason for this that may be helpful to learn, I will detail it's reasons.
I run through a simple yes/no questionnaire when I vet potential names.
Quality
Continuity breaking (copying a Star Wars character)?
Continuity breaking (reference to current or recent pop culture)?
Continuity breaking (cross-genre or inappropriate intra-genre words)?
Phonetic version of same above?
Intended humourous but too obvious?
Intended dangerous or capable but too forced?
Species Appropriate
Continuity breaking (name does not fit established name guidelines)?
Fit of name for species?
Potential for species confusion?
Bonus points!
Euphonious?
Intended to stretch genre?
Original to style?
Pronounceable?
Centered on global culture and not Western?
Player backstory intended fit into genre?
