@warrioroftherealm Well, it seems to me that in medieval Norse/viking culture they used a lot of v’s, o’s, and k’s.  In England (their main adversary) at the same time, there was a lot of use of the letters “ae” and “th” together, as well as a great many d’s and l’s.

Sorry if this is way to technical.  I am very detailed when it comes to h…[Read more]

@notawriter I totally agree!  Even in the New Testament in the “credits” sections of Paul’s letters there are some unusual names.  I mean, everyone’s heard of the name Aquila, but no one uses it because it sounds a little strange for a boy.

@warrioroftherealm I love making up words! (For instance, the character name topic I started.) How about smogis, longofay, caheloma, or jonjuke?  What type of culture is it?  That might have bearing on what kind of sounds they use in their language.

@dekreel, As I said in the first post, I don’t write fantasy.  🙂  I go for the classic and the realistic, not the fantastical and grotesque.  But then, that’s why I put the names out, right?  So people could use them in ways I couldn’t!

@dekreel, Ohhh, I don’t know!  If she’s a person, probably.  If she’s a normal animal like fox or tiger, probably again.  If she’s a strange creature with a lizard’s body, a cat’s legs, and a peacock tail – probably not!  🙂  But I don’t care what you use it for, I just care what my own impressions of her are.

@itisastarrynight Wonderful!  Actually, I like sci-fi better than fantasy, so I do think your updated plot sounds more cool.  🙂

You do illustrations yourself?

@dekreel Hooray for Kethra! 🙂

But I’m kind of worried that you’ll tell me who she’ll be, since I picture her as a person, but someone who likes to draw strange looking creatures might end up turning her into one…

Am I right? Or does Kethra have a chance of surviving in the human world? 🙂

@itisastarrynight Please do use them, and please do tell us if you do! 🙂

@waterlily I love Kirlas!  She sounds like a strong but sweet girl.  I’ve been imagining her with brown hair and green eyes, but is that totally different from how she will be in – um – unreal life? 🙂  Let me know a teeny bit about your story, because I feel like a mo…[Read more]

@ingridrd I really like Mern.  It sounds unusual, and would make a character unique, I think.

@daughteroftheking Driana is really pretty and I LOVE Larik!  I hope someone writes a story with someone named Larik just so I can read it and relish in the name. 🙂

@dekreel Um, I’ve never met a Whovian, but my brother is a Trekker…

@skredder Haha!  Do we realize what being writers does to us?  “She’s torn.  She has come to care for those she once saw as only nightmares of her past.”  We talk in “book blurb” language!  🙂

I found the same thing happening to me when I first started going to law school.  After a year, my speech changed drastically, and I started saying strang…[Read more]

@notawriter Cool.  What type of person do you think Jana Neader is, though?  Is it a hero or heroine, or a sidekick or mentor?  I think it could sound kind of forbidding and be a “dark lord” or something, but could also be sweet and sympathetic.  🙂

@dekreel Those are cool names!  I like Airow, Dae, and Adric a lot!  I was kind of thinking for t…[Read more]

@dekreel So that’s what happened! 🙂 I got a notification in my email that you replied to me but when I went to read it I couldn’t find the post!

@aratrea I know it happened to her on my topic Character Name Exchange.

@waterlily That’s great! Which ones do you like best?  I want to know if anyone has the same favorites as I do.

(I actually held back on my favorite of favorites.  I am going to try to use it in one of my own stories, because I love it so much.) 🙂

@skredder I like it a lot!  It kind of reminds me of a Tony Curtis movie from the 1950s where he played a boy who was raised by peasants not knowing he was the son of a knight.  When he went to live in the castle learning to be a page and a squire he found his family’s crest and learned that his family was killed because his father had been t…[Read more]
