How do you pick names?
It really varies based on the book. I’m often picking a linguistic paradigm. Alethi - there are two separate paradigms because I like linguistics to be messy. Usually based on symmetry being holy, so they’d pick names one letter off from symmetrical to avoid hubris. Also suffix - like Kaladin is Kalak (Herald) + din which is a suffix, all of them mean things, like the old Hebrew names have “born of” or “comes through”. Stick that on and drop the last letter. Dalinar, Elhokar, all of those have suffixes - nar, kar.
