I generally don't use them much in my writing and end up hunting down names from past eras that don't make me cringe to hear them now :) Whoever said getting names from the capcha made me crack up though--what a great idea! :)Meradeth Houstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06741790047121063893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7245338355060736409.post-76930730517240985342013-03-09T08:06:39.383-05:002013-03-09T08:06:39.383-05:00I don't write full on fantasy—urban fantasy is...I don't write full on fantasy—urban fantasy is the furthest I do—so I don't have to worry about this much. I also like mythology, so I use characters from myths and they already have names. :)Kelly Hashwayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13936313159809041986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7245338355060736409.post-62980256921734081542013-03-08T22:38:31.249-05:002013-03-08T22:38:31.249-05:00Elizabeth, it's good to be back!

I've got pages of names from that.<br /><br />Also typos. Crosseyed fingers are a great resource!<br /><br />Sometimes the word is perfect, sometimes you add a vowel or consonant or two, and you're ready to rock-n-roll!<br /><br />The word for this comment is: 'jectsock' ... hmm ...

I'm looking to rename my main character but I'm finding it difficult because I want something that is symbolic or has a special meaning but has to fit in with the Asian culture. Presently my MC has a name from India. <br /><br />Although, the links are more Western based, I'm saving them for the next book. :) <br /><br />Welcome back and thank you for a wonderful post.EW Gibsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15803476800662414598noreply@blogger.com
