Great visuals, Hawk! ...Ye god, where's my fan!! Great visuals, Hawk! I think naming characters is one of my favorite things to do, but darned if it can't get daunting. I like the more romantic names, myself.So I tend to pilfer the Mediterranean baby names for characters, if the story warrants it. Floyd brings to mind a crazy SoB (think Pink in Pink Floyd's the Wall). Still one can learn to love a name, Heathcliff, anyone? I'm sorry, the first time I'd heard that name, I thought of the fat, black and orange tabby. *giggle* That's a totally different picture than I think Emily Bronte had in mind, don't you think?Juli D.

I know it's hard to see a little baby and think THOR, but who's going to mess with him when he's six with a name like that?Eliza Marchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10152388657173829855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6564926157537466098.post-57063464761968848612010-03-03T13:13:10.438-05:002010-03-03T13:13:10.438-05:00Fantastic post, Hawk!

Man or woman... You want the name to be like honey and just linger on your tongue or in my our mind. It amazes me when I read a book and the name and characteristics stay with me even after I am done reading. You did give me the giggles though on some of those names! Oh... and you know, you talked about the hero... but the villain also needs the same attention with their name. Good or bad, you want that name to stick. Have a great day!<br />{{{hugs to you honey}}}Cecile Smutty Hussyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12396832012591524937noreply@blogger.com
