Okay. So we're going to start our fiction unit in Creative Writing soon. Inevitably, we will have to create and name fictional characters. The nice thing about that process is that you can give your characters names that fit their personalities and traits, etc. The bad thing about the process is that I'm very creative or decisive about naming characters.
Maybe that's why I don't write fiction often.
Anyway, since these characters are my fictional children of sorts, I pose the question: how did you go about naming your non-fictional children? Is there a theme? Why one name over another? I've always been curious why a family of 10 all have names beginning with A or something. So yes-- what's the reasoning?

what in the kell!?
ReplyDeleteI like to go with Soap Opera sounding names for my fictional children.
ReplyDeleteAll of my imaginary boyfriends have semi-gay sounding names like Leslie and Blair incase you wondered.
ReplyDeleteI was totally wondering. Thanks for clarifying.
ReplyDeleteAlso, thanks for the list of names. It's so extensive! Don't worry-- you can be sure I use at least one of them in a future piece.
