Name an NPC!

Hey All!
For those of us who got the Leader of Men package or above, we get to name an NPC within the game! However, whether you got those Kickstarter packages or not, tell us what you would do if given the chance to name an NPC in Ashes!
What type of NPC would you want to name, if given a choice?:
What would you name your NPC, and why?:
I'll start us off - I promised my wife that I would name the NPC after her, so I'd do the following -
Type: if given the choice (which I really hope they do) I will ask to name a doctor in one of the nodes (either a generic NPC that acts as the city's physician, or maybe the cleric trainer now that I think of it
)
Name: Faith - I don't think this is too immersion-breaking of a name
Would be interesting to hear what your plans for NPC naming are and why you'd choose that one!

I promised Mrs Kro that I'd name the NPC after her. This brought a massive smile to her face, being a WoW veteran as well. She absolutely gets the magnitude of this.
I'm hoping for an Elf NPC, and I'm either going to name her "Mrs Krojak" (in a joking manner) or name her "Enelyae" (This is the more serious option.)
So I ended up coming to the realization that I would probably end up naming one after my mother. She's been gone almost 7 years now, but I still miss her every day.
So if I named a NPC after her, I could always run by her in game and say "Hi Mom" to myself.
After she sees the bills and leaves me I'd have more time to play as well.
I do not recommend this approach lol
@nagash yeah, I came here for laughs, not feels
In all seriousness though, if you're spending that much money, go with someone IRL that is meaningful to you. Heck, it might not even have to be a person. You could probably name a NPC animal after your pet if the devs allow it.
- naming a clown NPC (that's part of Ashes circus) as a particular politician
- naming a rare bear in the forest like your mother in law
- naming anything while you are completely wasted
PS: I feel sad, I don't have a wife. I could name them after Thor my bloke but I'm not sure that he'd be at all fussed.. . Well that and I'd have to admit to how much money I've spent... Maybe we'll get disowned together @Diura , then run away together and start a gaming cult shaming partners.
I'd not mind, only before I moved in he spent most of his spare time playing WoW.... somehow I'm reminded of was it Cassandra the troll?
Anyway he said the game sounded good so I might be able to pursuade him to change his mind when he gets more fed up of spending his evenings with me.
My ex moved several states away before giving birth to our daughter. Because of this, i don't get to spend anywhere near enough time visiting her. Usually, it involves a 5 hour drive each way to spend Saturday and Sunday with her a couple times a month.
I would definitely name it after my daughter, so I'd get a "warm and fuzzy" feeling when I visit the NPC in-game. Her name even works for a fantasy environment: Eliana. If Ashes withstands the tests of time, I would even be able to introduce her to herself, which would be a super cool moment! ^.^
I'd ask that she be placed somewhere that offers respite from the harsh wilds, perhaps near an "oasis" of sorts. Maybe a place of healing or a holy location in the world. Either way, definitely a place of happiness and peace.
