| Post subject: | NaNo charries still need names |
NaNoWriMo begins November 1. And how many characters have I named? One.  Syleh is the main character, so at least that's taken care of, but I still need a few more names. Mainly for the antagonist, but also for this old guy that the head of the organization her father worked for, and that guy's son. And probably random little name here and there. Any ideas? I'm really bad at naming anything. |

I love making up names! These are mostly off the top of my head. Feel free to tweak and/or use any of them! Andier Lystilk Grimun Kernai Alecks Dormanin Kander Linyr Larygh Pleem Jarner Gilludaen Arink Sourehank Andumax Frilder Krainer Georme That's all I can come up with right now. Do you have anything specific you're looking for? |

Oh, I love naming people. Or, at least, I love naming people with names I randomly come up with. I'm thinking that for this story, you're doing the same? Syleh sounds like a made up (awesome) name. Generally I start with just coming up with a letter. Then I'll add the next syllable. Sometimes it comes all at once with no tweaking needed, other times I need to alter it and work at it for a while. Example: The letter E. What would come next? A constant or a vowel? I'll pick the vowel, for now.  Eventually I'll come up with a name like Eilod or something. (Pronounced Ee-lod.) I don't generally take any sort of Latin or Greek word to come up with names. (I applaud those who take the time to do so.) I just randomly come up with some. By the way, feel free to use the name Eilod if you want to. Unless you think it's a terrible name, then just ignore it. Also feel free to use the following:Farahk Uniroi Traekara Haidara |

I'm thinking that for this story, you're doing the same? Syleh sounds like a made up (awesome) name. Yes, I try to make up names for my characters. And thanks, I'm glad you like her name  RedWing wrote: Generally I start with just coming up with a letter. Then I'll add the next syllable.

Brogan—derived from Gaelic ‘shoe’ Conleth—“virtuous fire” Irish Enki—“lord of the earth” Fabian—Latin for bean…’nuff said… Karim--*sigh* this means noble or generous in Arabic Logan—“little hollow” Nolan—Irish, “descendant of Nuallane” Owen—“born from a yew tree” (Gaelic) Quinn—“descendant of Cuinn” (weird!) Roshan—Persian for “light” “Bright” Wolf—I would hope this was obvious… LOL! I would not want to name my child bean, or shoe.
