For instance, I named a character Reaver, because he was a loner demon hunter and I wanted something that sounded violent, almost sinister, for him.<BR/><BR/>I also once gave a pair of characters the surnames Green and Sharpe, because one was very naive and inexperienced, and the other very astute and often acerbic.<BR/><BR/>You can't do that all the time of course, or you start coming over all Dickensian, but it is fun!Kate Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01502745299951529417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283585133261215926.post-81438858970588606592008-03-04T07:11:00.000-08:002008-03-04T07:11:00.000-08:00I generally use baby name sites.

Haven't tried a name generator, but it seems like a good option for fantasy and sci fi.<BR/><BR/>belindaBelindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05203085482621439712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283585133261215926.post-4588739683015365732008-03-03T14:17:00.000-08:002008-03-03T14:17:00.000-08:00I've used baby name books.For first names I quite ...I've used baby name books.<BR/><BR/>For first names I quite like biblical names.<BR/><BR/>Oh I also have an Angel book with hundreds of Angel names in.LesleyWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14059048442986942270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283585133261215926.post-32714275084679017802008-03-03T13:16:00.000-08:002008-03-03T13:16:00.000-08:00I just use a baby name book.

I've marked some unusual names with a highlighter so I can find them again.<BR/><BR/>Names with a hard sound, like Kathy often are "harder" characters. Softer sounds like Shelly are often used with "weaker" or softer characters.Lee Plumbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04724514324570660551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283585133261215926.post-46466228797833326512008-03-03T13:04:00.000-08:002008-03-03T13:04:00.000-08:00Most times because I write Science Fiction I usual...Most times because I write Science Fiction I usually use a name generator.<BR/>http://www.seventhsanctum.com/index-name.php<BR/><BR/>Barbara K.BarbaraKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02629537023400086683noreply@blogger.com
