My brats, for the curious:
Cressida's name comes from the tales of Cressida and Troilus (King Priam's son), written about by the likes of Chaucer and Shakespeare. She bears no resemblance to the Cressida of the stories, which are about betrayal and infidelity. I just thought it was a pretty name, and mmmm literature and the Trojan War. Karth is... I'm not sure. I think I fashioned it after another character's name because I wanted it to be one syllable.
Damia is entirely made up and I have nfi how or when I came up with it, but I suppose you could look at it as Damian without the n, even though it's not pronounced the same. Ravin was snatched from actress Emilie de Ravin, minus the de.
Ridley's name is taken from Ridley Silverlake from the game Radiata Stories. I've wanted to use the name since like forever. Their personalities aren't that similiar (lol tsundere), but they are equally adorable on the outside. Irving was stolen from Lloyd Irving from the game Tales of Symphonia. Again, no resemblance through personality.
