Saphraneet asked Kelsey Bryant:

How do you choose names for your story characters?

Kelsey Bryant Since I love names, I also love naming my characters. I have hundreds of names in my head and a strong opinion or association about most of them. When I'm creating a character, I'll run through my mental list of names (or, if the character is from the past or a different country, a name website such as Behind the Name that has specific lists of historical and foreign names), and try out options until one seems to fit the character like a tailored suit.
