      Oh my goodness @Rolena! So tragic! 😉

      All of those sound pretty creative to me, @Ivy-Rose. 🙂

        @littlebrowndog I liked your Rowan Dyer! Your two villains with the last name Collins must be related, hmmm that would make for an interesting story. 🙂


        @Ivy-Rose
        Every name is creative and special, cause you get to pick the ones you like! :p What I like about your list of names is that their all easy to prounouce. Sometimes authors take such care to come up with the most original, creative name that they end up with something hard for their readers to say. hehehe. Oh and Rhett Newman is a great name!

          Thank you so much, Kate and Rolena. 🙂 I do try to keep my names pronounceable…mostly for my own sake. 😉 Rhett Newman is one of my absolute favorite names…and he’s my favorite male protagonist as of yet!

            Digging this up from the depths of topic despair, here I am. I absolutely LOVE the names y’all have! They’re great! After stalking this topic for, well, a while, I’ve been terribly reluctant to share some of my names, mainly because I have NO CLUE how to pronounce them, but the way they sound in my head (I don’t know how to describe them) I like it. So, here is a quick list of some of my favorites.
            Kaida
            Brande
            Terrowin
            Blizzard Loxley
            Magnhild
            and Hirrador Chardragon (among other Chardragon’s)
            Most of these came from various “name meaning” or “name generator” sites, except for Chardragon.

              Hey Hannah! Glad you dropped by again! 🙂 Those are really cool names— I especially like Hirrador Chardragon and Terrowin. Let me guess— fantasy? 😉

                      Love the villain’s name, @gretald— simple, yet the name itself has character. 😀

                      I had to smile too when I saw the name for your MC, ’cause I have an MC right now whose name is very similar. Arianwen. 🙂

                        Thanks @kate-flournoy 🙂

                        Ooo, Arianwen is a great name!

                          We have some similar names as well @gretald! I have a Princess Miret and her father’s name is Miris. I love the Invisible Ones. Sounds so mysterious. I think I would like to meet this Madam Munch. She sounds like quite the character. 😉

                            She sounds like a mouse. 😉 😀

                              Cool @rolena-hatfield! I love the name Miret. 🙂

                              Thanks! Madam Munch really is quite the character, and she is a bit like a mouse @kate-flournoy. 😛 She’s one of those characters who’s supposed to get you really annoyed, so I’d say she’s probably one of my least favorite characters in the novel.

                                Ah, but those characters are so fun to write, @gretald!

                                  Yeah, those characters are really fun to write; I just get really annoyed with her in the story. 😛 @kate-flournoy
