The Daily Grind: Do you create a character around a name or a name around a character?

In just about every new MMO, I've found myself a bit frustrated with the order of things during character creation. When I make my characters, I often think of the name first, and then I create a character according to that name. But choosing a name is usually one of the final steps in the process, which has caused me to completely scrap my work when it's discovered that a name is already taken.

Has this happened to you? Do you create a character around a name and start over if that name is taken, or simply modify the name to fit the character you just built?
