It depends on the book. For LEAVING WISHVILLE and CAPSULE, I used whatever names popped into my head (or consulted baby name books on occasion). For the BELLADONNA trilogy that I'm currently working on, I need to be a bit more creative. Sometimes I'll spend an hour brainstorming just to come up with a name that's both unique and relatively easy to read without a pronunciation guide.
