Just so people heads don't explode trying to work out what item in Washington DC each character is named after, here's an explanation of how the writers select character names:

"There’s no convention, but we like to name people after place names, which I think is pretty well known. I chose Anya as one of the writers of 109. I believe Michael Angeli chose Indra as the writer of 202. We compiled a list from which Jason chose Echo. Generally, the writer of the episode names any new characters and Jason has the final decision."
