Character names - intuitive or symbolic?

There's a link going around on Twitter at the moment to
Overall, I have no hard and fast rules. Ultimately, none of my characters end up with names that just don't 'feel right' on a gut level, so that's a huge part of it, and certainly some of my main characters (Molly in Mirrors, Lydia in Trades) have simply been named on pure instinct; as if I 'met' them and they told me their name. There is some degree of logic and conscious thought that goes into it, too: a person's geographical location and/or ancestry can obviously influence the likelihood of them having a certain first name and especially surname - you'll find quite a few northern surnames in my work (not least the one on the book covers!). In working class characters in particular, trade-based surnames are more likely (hence Molly's maiden name of Pinner, and the 'abbess' in Trades whose surname is Tanner).

There is something to be said, though, for a more artistic choice of names; choosing one or more of a character's names to convey something about them through the meaning of the name itself, and I've certainly done that, too, either to confirm that the name my gut favours is the right one, or as the primary means of naming the character (although as I say, I still have to feel 'right' about any name choices). The main character in my most recently completed novel, Ivy, was an Ivy to me from the moment of her conception, but the context of the story (wait and see) makes a plant-based name particularly appropriate for her. Another one of that book's protagonists was very deliberately given a name that makes reference to one of her less desirable attitudes; and yet another has a name that makes an obscure religious reference to her relationship to Ivy. Anyway. When looking into name meanings, I like
And the WIP? Well, there are two protagonists this time, both of them named primarily on instinct; but in a nifty twist, their first names mean hardworking and fighter, and those descriptions fit their respective personalities pretty well.

So how do you name your characters?
