I still recall the moment we came up with the name for our short, little alcoholic.  I was drawing several different character designs for Ivan, calling out a couple different names to Justin, whereas nothing really seemed to fit the way the character looked.

Finally, Justin just blurted out, 'Ivan'.

Me: 'Ivan?  We have a little electronic lumberjack midget named Ivan?  That doesn't really make any sense...'

Justin: 'Exactly.'

Touché, my friend.  Touché.
