The Sounding Board Club Update · Jul 7, 2015

General question for the week -- character names. Love them or hate them, what are some of your characters who have given you the hardest time about their names? Did you have trouble finding something that sounds good? Something that matches their culture?

I just know when the name sounds right. It has a certain... flow when it's right.
Normally, I come up with names, then fit a story around them.

MC of Hayden gave me a bit of grief when I was first ruminating over the idea for that project. Finally settled,on calling her Liv, which I wasn't 100% certain about at first, but mow I couldn't imagine her being called anything else. It is a bit hit and miss with names for me, though. Sometimes the name is just there and other times not so much.

*now not mow

Oh no, I’m sorry, you’re under the impression that here on YWS we *help* writers instead of just feeding their gremlin tendencies.
