Boy, that is something I really hadn’t given a lot of thought to. The first novel I picked up is the easy answer...FLINT...and I picked it up to find out what it meant. It never dawned on me it could be a character’s name, and I had no idea it would lead to decades of reading enjoyment. It is also in hindsight kind of funny that I avoided the Sackett novels for years because I didn’t want to feel trapped...not realizing I already had been.
