How much care do you take in choosing your character's names? I'm currently digging through great women in history for my Desolation #SciFi series, as most of the characters are female. Do you have a naming scheme?

"Who the Fuck is Alice?" is a song that gets brought up around me a lot (particularly when being introduced to someone).
I once dated a woman named Eileen, and guys would sing "Come On Eileen" at her.
I knew a Jenny when I was younger, and everyone sang "8675309" at her.
Who else has a (perhaps unfortunate) reference to their name? Maybe everyone can get it out of their system in the comments and we can all just point them here in the future.
