Mairead asked Josephine Angelini:

What is the longest you've spent trying to decide on a name for a character and what character was it? Is it harder to name more minor characters because you'd have the main characters in your head for ages and you'd know exactly what you want them to be.

Josephine Angelini Minor characters are the hardest, and sometimes I've switched their names after I've written an entire book. Then I spend the next few months saying the wrong dang name and confusing people.
