Kerah asked Jaime Lee Mann:

Where do you come up with all your characters names?

Jaime Lee Mann Hi Kerah! Great question. At this very moment, I'm working on the next book and am trying to come up with the perfect name for a new character! I put a lot of care into the names I use. Some, I borrow from people I know, like Krystal (my sister), Starla (friend), and Novah (my mother). Some are from children I meet at school visits, like Naleah. Others just come into my head, somehow, like Grimblerod. I sometimes will use baby name books to help me come up with the perfect name, too. One thing I try to be very careful of is not using names that are commonly used in other stories (Ariana, Elora and Calla). I try to use interesting names that would suit a long ago fairytale world (Freya, Fibryn). And sometimes, I just like using fun names for pixies and fairies, like Cinnamon and Fidget! Do you like the names I've chosen? Do you have any suggestions for future character names? :)
