Hello fellow readers! I hope everyone is doing well. I’m excited for the holiday coming up, we’ll have a bit of a break from swim team and other things. I’m not sure what we’re going to do, but it would be nice to get away.
If you missed what the wonderful Leslie Hachtel had to say, just click back.
Today the incredible A.S. Fenichel is the instigator and she asks us:
How do you choose your character’s names? Do you have a system, a book, an app or is it random?
With my first book, I knew the names I wanted for my hero and heroine. I’d had them picked out for a long time. I’ve loved those names and even wanted to name my daughter after the heroine, but I was vetoed. The woman’s name was Rowan and the man’s name was James. They are still one of my favourite names.
For other short stories that I’ve written I’ve used a name generator. I used a name generator when I had to write a science fiction piece. Some of those names were super interesting! My heroine was Aura Nash.
Sometimes names are quite hard for me and I spend hours looking through websites and other books to find the perfect name. I feel like I can’t use certain names because they’ve been in other books so I have to be very careful. Other times names just pop out to me and I know without a doubt that’s what my characters names will be.
For women I’ve used:
- Emerson
- Finn
- Evie
- Remi
- Charlotte
- Alexandra
- Serena
- Breanna
- Emeline
- Leeta
For men I’ve used:
- Lucca
- Drake
- Lucas
- James
- Marvin
- Logan
- Damon
- Gabriel
- Duke
- Rylan
That’s it for me today, now continue on the hop to see what names the talented A.S. Fenichel has written into her books. Until next time!
Now check out the latest release from A.S. Fenichel – Defiance Book 4 in the Demon Hunters Series!
Tad Douglass is furious his fiancée has enrolled in the Demon Hunters’ school. Admittedly, he should have been more attentive after her capture by demons, but important Hunter business demanded his presence. Now, he’s forced to watch her transformation from an innocent young woman to a formidable Hunter. He’ll use every resource at his disposal to change her mind and return her to the simple life of a debutante.
When people go missing in London, Serena and Tad must investigate—together. The mistrust and love simmering between them during their perilous mission is brought to a boil at the gateway to Hell. With the lines between good and evil blurred, and death lurking at every turn, it will take a leap of faith to embrace this new partnership—as heroes and as lovers.
