What's in a name? - Sophiel - 01-05-2009
I've had a hanking to write for sometime, but want to pull away from the established canon a bit-- maybe even an alternate universe of sorts. Of course the cast we all know we know doubt make an appearance in some form or another. Well the problem I have is I want to use some new fresh faces... but I'm terrible at coming up with name, so that's where this post and you reading this come in.
I need names folks, and I need suggestions to be serious ones. But there are some guidelines I will ask you to follow.
1. It can not be your name, be it real name or a persona you have.
2. It cannot be a name of a character you may have.
3. It will not be any name(s) I have nor characters I've established before this. I follow my own guidelines.
4. 3 was kind of a bad joke.
5. I will accept suggestions from any language, but please nothing too ethnic some have trouble connecting with a character and/or story if they can't pronounce a name.
6. As I said this is actually a serious topic I expect serious replies.
7. Guidelines are subject to my digression and may be added to and taken away from at any time.
With that I leave the ideas to you folks, I'll pick and choose as I need too. Your help will be appreciated.
Carry on.

Edit: For clarity I am looking for actual names, given (first) and surnames (last). However aliases are also welcome, who knows when I may need a one or two.

Well I was looking more or less along full names, given and surnames as you've given. But there's always a place open for any other suggestions as well. I believe I'll update my original post to reflect this.

well... I can give you many examples of names... the only problem for me is I need a description of the character... I only reserve my generic names for myself :P
