Names
10 years ago
So, I got to thinkin'... One thing I've always had trouble with is naming characters. I usually avoid typical 'human' names, because I can't help but feel that they're generic, but I always end up finding it extremely difficult to make something from scratch that sounds decent. Most of my character names these days are based off of something that just pops into my head randomly that I remember to jot down. In the early days, I had turned to Native American names (i.e. Yiska and Yahto), but they never really felt right.
Anyway, what do you guys do for names? How do you name your characters, and do you have any names that you think are particularly interesting that you might want to donate to the cause for fun? I'm interested to hear about it!
