I think I was opposing, but I'm Neutural now.

Seriously tho, I use mainly 4 methods for naming OCs:

1. Search up/ remembering kanji. I have MANY upcoming OCs with this method used, but one already made is Ibuki (I and Buki).

2. Typing something, making sure it sounds good, looking up "Japanese word (insert word)" and see what pops up, if it's Japanese or not, and if it suits their personality, then deciding from there.

3. The former but I DONT try only Japanese, I try other languages (for example: Asuri's first name takes words from both Japanese and French)

4. GT but only if the names I find with the other methods either: don't sound nice, aren't nice names, aren't real names, or don't suit their personality (it's a last resort)

All of the 3 first options are pretty good IMO
