Emeline asked Penelope Douglas:

Hey! I've always wanted to know how you choose the name of your caracters. Is it because of their signification? because you liked it? Or because you know people with the same name and you wanted to "put" them in your books? I can't wait to read the next books!! <3

Penelope Douglas Hey!

I don't think I know anyone with my character's names. Not really many, anyway. I pick them out of thin air, like Jared and Michael, or I go on baby name sites and browse. That's how I found Jax and Madoc. Some of them I will hear and remember. I often try to choose unisex names for most of my heroines. I like those names for girls. Obviously, I guess, since I named my daughter Aydan ;)
