Every time I die, I find myself repeatedly creating a new character, looking at my name, and restarting if I don't like the name. It'd be nice if I could choose an option for whether I wanted a short/normalish name or a long/hilarious name.

You can type in your own names...
Yeah, but my names aren't as good as the short random names.
I think it would be easier if the random name wasn't "Press enter for random" and get right into the game and instead, as it usually is, a random button that showed the name so you could decide to go with it or not.
Personally, I try to chose names that look cool, like Cold Shot for a gunsinger with freezing hands, or Mesmero for a beguilling mesmerizer. But the random names are trully cool.
I'm personally not irked by this interface at all, but of course it could be a bit more polished. One way to do it would be to generate a new random name if the player presses Tab or the up key or something. This way, you could just scroll through until you got a name to your liking. I like the new name generator, by the way, though I still get the odd name with a triple vowel or something like that.
As always,
