I've finally finished setting up my PC and created my 5 accounts (busy holiday). I'm trying to come up with a naming system for my 1 druid, 4 shaman combo.

I've read Xzin's beginners FAQ and I'm thinking of distinguishing my characters by first letter (the rest of the name would be the same or different)

Example:
Main: Atari
Toon1: Btari
Toon2: Ctari
Toon4: Dtari
Toon5: Etari

Now does it really matter that the rest of the name is the same (tari)? I'd like to make distinct easy to remember names but I see many experienced multi-boxers make their names nearly identical. Is there a reason for this or just a preference? How do you name your characters and why?

Thanks in advance.
