I use different names like Falcon or Spider
It depends on what I am writing will depend on the characters. Since my story is about native americans and Inuit's; I use native American and Inuits name and I use the names to descripe what magic and spirit they will have.
i just use names that i like or sound cool, in the story i am currently writing the main characters are Elva and Jamid.
Two of my favorite characters are the ones I am writing about right now. Alana "Lana" Ross, her sister, Eibhlin (pronounced ave+linn) and Lana's love interest, Declan. I am in love with Irish and Scottish names. Those are where my family is from, so I feel a need to use them. And they are so unusual and beautiful!
Mod
Eibhlin. I love that name!

Thank you Brooke. =) I would love to know your characters names. =) besides Falcon and Spider. What other names to you love?
well, i love bird names. i use alot for my characters. like Robin, Hawk, Sparrow. or some like Crystal, Jade, Sapphire. I use colors sometimes too, like Red or White
ooo...very interesting.Wow, I love those names. I love gemstone names, colors, and animals. Thank you Brooke. Some people use numbers as well, do you use numbers as names?
nope i've never thought of that. thats kinda cool actually i might use it.i read a book where the girl in it was named sing. it was short for sings in the morning. i love aboriginal names too
lol...I got that from Seinfeild episode actually. George wanted to name his girl Seven.Go right on ahead and use it Brooke.
Ah, that it a cute name sing. Aboriginal names?
making up names IS fun. but i hate it when my computer says its spelt wrong.
Ooo...Awesome Christa. I just love names...Names are very powerful.
@Wolf Spirit: ya Aboriginal names. like Howls to the moon, or Feathers from a Dove. they're just fun to make up
Really? Howls to the Moon reminds me of werewolves...lol. I love aboriginal names now. Thank you Brooke for getting me hooked on that. =)

haha christa. my computer is soo ancient. its like as old as my grandparents so im not sure if i can do that lol
I don't think so... Most of the books I've read the names just seem to be a part of who the character is.
thats usually how it is. most of my characters are weird and different so they have uncommon names.
I think that it's important that the names FIT with the personality. I usually create the personality first and then think of what name sounds perfect. It's a LONG process for me!
What do people think about the names Colette and Nolen??
I like them. Nolen sounds a bit old though. But I still like them!
Mod
I love both those names!! One of my character names is Nolen. =)
Mod
Not any I can think of at the moment but if I do I'll tell you.
Christa wrote: "Does anyone have a name that they would never use in a story? Even if it fit the character? What is your absolute least favorite name?"Anything in the top 50 common names like Jessica, Michelle, Adam, John... Well I'd probably still use them, just not for a main character. I like their names to stand out. I'd like to use the name Campbell Craven for a female lead, but I've yet to write a character who fits the name... Sadly.

Ya I'm like that two. The main characters have to be different.
Mod
Add the meaning if you want to.
