Do you mean their names or their titles?

Names are obviously just given by their parents, most of the time (assuming they have them and aren't clones or something). Depending on the world they were born on, a character's name is going to have drastically different aspects to it. As an example, the Primarchs were all named by their adoptive parents on their respective worlds. The Emperor didn't pull a bunch of random names out of a hat and end up with stuff like Konrad and Horus, which have no relation in language or meaning whatsoever.

If you mean titles, it depends entirely on the character. As an example, Kharn's title of "The Betrayer" comes from a battle on the daemon world Skalathrax, in which Kharn burned both the forces of the Emperor's Children and his own soldiers due to his displeasure at how the fight was going, helping to shatter the World Eaters Legion into many fractured warbands.

I'm interested to see where that goes.

I'm alright. Can't complain, really.
