Writing Passionates discussion

okay so I have this character and his name is Robert but he was possed by a demon named Asmodeous. Anyhow due to several events when the name Robert has been used I either think of a grumpy old man or a three day old infant who is a total and complete as* hole.

All I have to say is Babynames.com! It's practicality a name generator!

I KNOW!!!
Except Jaycie isn't on there. I luv that name!

Yeah. You can also combine stuff to make names. My favorite name ever was Demi and Yue together. DEMIYUE!

coolio!

I really like Kaven, but I think Toli is using that. Hmmmm....

Do you want, like generic like James and Paul? Or unusual, like Tarnio?

try combining names like a boy name and a girl name--tom and melissa? Melissom? pronounced Mel-iss-oam--or something--crazy rite?? tht rele works 4 fantasy!

k-how about Darius? or Paul?

darius... taht sounds REALLY familiar. Where have I heard that name before? Inkheart?

i think . . .

darius rucker?

no, i swear that darius is from inkheart! or some other fantasy thing...

yeah, I know!!

Mike... Mazowski!;D

But I KNOW there is something like that in Inkheart!

Not dustfinger though... that's who I keep thinking of, but I know it isn't him.

Yeah Darius is in Inkheart, he's the one dude who can read things out of stories but not very well, remember?

THANK YOU!!!! That has been driving me crazy for days!!!! I KNEW that he was somewhere in inkheart!

No, in Inkheart that dude is Orpheus, not Darius!

Nope, darius is the stuttering reader! Wikipedia says so!

Orpheus is also a reader, the one who read dustfinger back into Inkheart. He was the one who took over meggie's aunt's house and messed up the library while keeping meggie's aunt locked up.

Huh. Why don't I remember Darius??

yah me either ... oh well ...

YEAH I SWEAR HE WAS IN INKHEART!!! AND HE WAS!!!!

uhhh i read inkheart ... a really really long time ago.

YOU GUYS ARE NOT HELPFUL AT ALL!

sorry, really off topic aren't we . . .

wait what's the topic again? :P

look at the first post.

i know i know. i was kidding. lol. ^^

oh, i get your sarcasim!

haha sry. :P

What about....

Zeliek? Or...... Jason????? Or...... Sereth????

Again, generic, or unusual??????

Generic but not like Bob or Steve

ohhhh okay. I like Sereth... I might use that for myself.

Hmm...

Alex, Jason, Garrett, John, James, Kevin, Eric, Mike, Kyle, Dylan, Bill, Darius, Ethan, Kenny....


there are a jillion more. I'm too tired right now to list them.

You could go to a babynames website, then find names that you like. Maybe, ten.

Then look at their meanings. If the meaning bothers you, get rid of it.

Then look at the nicknames along with the real name. If that bothers you then get rid of it.

Then think of how each name sounds. does it feel like it could fit your character's personality?

I just spent about a half hour looking at names and finally decided on one. Now I just need to figure out who he is and what sort of story he's in. :P

I would love that! Please, post it when you finish it. :D

Yeah, but it's a really good name: Kurt. It means courteous (which went out the window with isolation and crazinesss) but it's just... perfect. It already seems to fit him, and I've only had it for less than a day. I don't think I've ever found such a perfect name before.

perhaps it's because I had the name before I had the story... hmm...

I'm going to be posting it on goodreads soon. :D

I don't know how chapters are going to turn out exactly, the first one might be a prologue, but I think Imight title the chapters for once.

????????????????????????????????????????????

congrats on finding a good name, but i was actually talking to Saved By Grace.

And so was I. Unless she was talking to you and not me or both of us... then I'd feel like a bit of a fool.

ug, Sparx is harder to write than I thought. I HATE WRITERS BLOCK!!!

:D

wooow

Oh, okay Roni. I was a bit lost there!
