My monk, necro and deleted warrior have/had the same first name.
My mesmer and ritualist have/will have the same first name.
My eles last name refers to my monks/necros first name.
My assassins name will be more unique.
So I kind of have a system.. lol. Everyone I know knows the names of all my chars anyway, so it doesnt really matter.

Well anyways back on Subject I used no kind of system to make it easy on others.. How selfish.

Fina Silven R/x
Eve Blackwind N/Me
Every character I make is unique, so it would seem odd to give them all similar names. And besides, people can easily see who you are if they're in the same guild or have you on their friends list.
The only exceptions I've made is when I was flip-flopping between necro and ranger for Fina, and for some characters on my FPE account. Ashley Starfire to try out an ele, and Shayna Silven to try out a ranger.

$hade.
I'm going to start having a common one when I get Factions but mine are all unique in Prohecies. (I've had alot these are the ones I can remember -_-)
Screaming Flame, Parkour Boy, Undead Monk Ruler, See Me Run, Mike The Elementalist, Ragin Fury, Dark Soul

Isis Mordecai
4 different names as i seen using the same common word etc in them as boring n i trust in my guildies memory enough to remember 4 names n be able to know who i am after all this time.
names = Scotch And Wry(PvP), Zekon Mordecai, Sora Nishino and Nephren Cerberus.

sleazeh
Even though after a while you get to recognize all your guildmates' character names, I've always found a common name "thread" to be helpful.
Mine:
Sleazehs Lost Faith (Mo)
Sleazehs Spent Rage (Nec)
Sleazehs Frail Ego (Ra)
Son of Sleazeh (Mes)
Sleazehs Sword (Wa)
Sleazeh of GCoN (Ele)
for PvP only slots, I either use S L E A Z E H, or on occassion either Echoed Mending or Frenzied Heal Sig
my preview ritualist was Sleazehs Bitter Rue, which I will continue with I think. Haven't got as far as assassin yet.

Masseur
Originally I wasn't picking related names, but for the last 3-4 months or so as I redo characters, I've been putting Sage in the name along with something that goes with the profession, like Sage Illusionist(Mesmer) or Sage of the Forces (Ele) or Sage Medicine Man (Monk), etc....Older and wiser (hence Sage).
Astraea Zopyros
All of my characters have names of greek origin, and all have the first name "Astraea."
Loose (very loose) translations follow:
Astraea Zopyros --> "Glowing Star." Elementalist. Currently a LVL 5 E in pre.
Astraea Boitheia --> "Helping Star." Monkey. LVL 20 on Ice Caves of Sorrow.
Astraea Apati --> "Illusionary Star." Mesmer. LVL 13 in Lion's Arch.
Astraea Mystikos --> "Hidden Star." Assassin. Leftover from FPE.
I've had a few others, but won't list them (should I decide to use them again).

Robin_Anadri
I like having the same last name for identifiability. So all my characters are surnamed Anadri, a practice I plan to continue on into factions. My mesmer is my primary play character, though, so she got my real name, Robin.
Many are the Aspects of Anadri. Even my mules! (Craftkeep Anadri, Weaponkeep Anadri, and my personal favorite, Ms Elani Anadri.)
I did break with convention in *one* case because it was just too good. I have a monk I keep pre-sear to help out friends/guildies (Level 10.75 so far!) who is a Monk/Mesmer. Or, as is written in the party window, Mo/Me. Her name? Raths Outgrabe.

Ulivious The Reaper
Heh most of my names are original, such as Ulivious the Reaper and Nysur Verrir but my necro has "foofiesmooch cake" so i'm not sure if that's original or common lol
Sidra
My ranger and my assassin will be the only ones with surnames, otherwise my characters have names like High Priest Jayge (i was a newb, dont kill me) and Deception Jayge (mesmer... yeah.). Jayge Arcamenel is always my favorite though.
TheMosesPHD
I always try to get inspiration from my new char names when I'm looking at them at the creation screen. I'll just start rolling sounds off my tongue and try out different combos of first and last names. Sometimes it comes quite quickly, sometimes I sit there for like 30 minutes trying to find the best name, looking up websites that give the meaning of names to try and find something and stuff like that. Since I expect to keep my characters for the long haul, I don't want them to have a name I'll regret later 
For PvP I made up the name Mo Mo Patty Blinks (to be pronounced in an Irish accent), and most people refer to me as Mo Mo. So usually whenever I make a new character all the people that know me either just check their friends list or check the guild list and pretty much after that they remember that new name = Mo Mo.
So far this is what I've got:
Monk: Sister Of Divinity (there is a Brother Of Divinity out there somewhere that I met once but there is no relation)
Ranger: Steve Basnof (Just a name)
Warrior: Crimson Resolve (basically means her eyes are always set on shedding blood O.o)
Ele: Crimson Eliad (He's got red hair and Eliad just came to my head)
Nec: Kiltiana Varoso (sounds like a somewhat cruel name)
Mesmer: Kaelon Mendelev (Sadly the fool got deleted after I got bored from getting him to lvl 20 in pre.)
Ritualist: The Spiritbinder (I thought this name would be taken but I was lucky enough to reserve it on a free char slot)
Factions Mes: (name to be decided at creation)
Assassin (once I can buy one extra slot): Attack of the Snack (derived from "snack attack". Because the assassin looks goofy so it's hard to give em a serious name.)

I've been notorious for confusing people that don't know my characters well.
On forums - I'm d4nowar... or lawlsauce.
On vent/ts - I'm lawl.
Monk - Power Pete.
Warrior - Lawl Im Strong Noob.
Necro - Mrs Mxyzptlk
PVP - L A W L S A U C E.
Next two characters will either have random names or something based off of Lawl and sauce...

Somewhat...2/3, I guess. (Was trying to think of one for warrior but Blade Infusion or Adrenal Infusion didn't sound right...)
In Factions I will TRY to go with the naming convention I (kind of) have.

Names, eh? Names, names, names...
I pretty much just made them up. All there is to it. Except El Pardak, of course. He's an homage. The massive male warrior character build bearing a strong resemblence to one "big fat blob thing" from a certain website... Although I found out months later I'd forgotten a 'c' (the correct spelling would have been El Pardack), but since that doesn't look as cool.
The rest? Aayla Darana, E/Me, Alyssa Kintara, R/E, and Daneel Coron, Me/Mo (who replaced Kalia Dena, N/Me).
For factions, I'll go a little more oriental in my naming. I'm thinking, Ai Emi for my ritualist, and Vien An for a monk.

Stabber
My characters are named after minor characters in Shakespeare's plays. What continually impresses me is seeing how many of them are already claimed.
I figure it is less hackneyed than farming The Silmarillion for Tolkieny names.

As a relatively new member of a guild that has hit the max member limit I'm having a hard time to tell the people behind all those different character names. 
I wish more people would use naming schemes. Or even better: I wish ANet would offer the possibility to define an "account name" on top of all character names. This account name should be displayed at least in the friends list and guild list.
Oh, my own characters all have "Tetris" in their name.
