@photobloggergal Welcome to the Kingdom of Pen! The gender depends on the setting and how you want the plot to go. But for name I use Behindthename.com you can search by name meanings too. Very helpful, That’s what I did. But sometimes I changed the letters a bit. Celandine means swallow(bird). I had looked up ‘bird’ on the site, cause my…[Read more]

If so, do you want that meaning to reflect your character?If not, that’s completely fine. I use this technique more in fantasy stories. I like to choose names with meanings because it helps…[Read more]

Hi, @photobloggergal! Welcome to the forum! Are you a pirate (I see you like to shoot canons)? 😜
I’ve found that the best way to find a name is by purchasing a baby name book. I have one with 5,000+ names and I get over 50 percent of my characters’ names from that. How would the gender affect the plot? If it won’t, then just have the baby be the…[Read more]
