Suggested topic: What does your character's name mean, either in their canon or in current culture? Does that have any significance on their personality?
Mal: There's the in-canon response from River: "Mal. Bad. In Latin", hence the lj name. I like it a lot because it is vague enough to mess with your head if you think about it too long. Also I am informed that from Star Trek: Enterprise canon, 'Malcolm' is Vulcan for 'serenity'. Which works for me. :D :D :D Also, his middle name is Beauregard, because in like, August of 05, I decided making a Bad-and-Beautiful pun would be funny. Plus it's his father's name, so he doesn't shout it around.
SARAH: Her full designation is 'Self Actuated Residential Automated Habitat'.
Sallie: As of babynames.com, (who did not appreciate the IE spelling =P) Sallie is a diminuative of Sarah, which derives from the Hebrew for princess. This...does not apply to Sallie pretty much in any way.
Ned: Again, another diminuitive. I'm beginning to get amused by this. This is also vaguely significant because Ned, unless you know him already, is almost a non-entity to others. Hence no last name, short first name. No exceptions.
Delysia Lafosse: Didn't even show up. Her real name is Sara Grubb, which Haaa play more or less three Saras, but whatever. Names are very important to D, since she went through the bother of picking a stage name. Just don't tell her that 'fosse' means a pit (as in peach pit).

YOU KNOW TOO MUCH.
Yeah, Kira's...interesting. I really like the meaning of names 'cause I'm a nerd. :P
ETA: according to babynames, that's what I got was the ring thing. But it could also mean light. Hmmm~.
When I was naming Ben Skywalker's son for a fic, his name is Meyer because it meant light. Heheh *nerds about*
