For me, coming up with names is pure torture. I end up writing the whole story calling them 'A,' 'B,' 'C,' and so on. I spend hours searching sites, racking my brain, looking in the phone book. It's ridiculous how hard it is to come up with a simple name!
So, how am I solving this? By starting this thread!
I was thinking people could put their favorite names in this thread, so we can have a place to go to when we need a good name. (No more pushing our way past the awful names to get to the one amazing one within!)
Only put realistic names. No fantasy - someone else can start a thread for that. You may offer both first and last names.
[s]I will create the master list, so you can see all the names quickly, without pushing through all the pages. (That's what we're trying to avoid, right?)[/s]
Just glance through the pages. That is easier than going through a hundred page book, so it still serves it's purpose.
Please leave something. Even if it's your real name, it may help someone! And take as many as you'd like - you don't need to let us know when you use something. (There are hundreds of books with a main character having the same first name, so it doesn't matter if we all use some of the same names. It's bound to happen eventually.)
Here are mine:
First Names
- Samantha
- Jake
- Amber
- Liam
- Katherine
Last Names
