I know XD Sorry, Dete, I'm terrible at names. It literally takes me like an hour to come up with a name for one character. '^^

Same! That is why I made the excuse that all my characters just are terrible at naming things or have a reason behind a terrible nickname.

Well, the internet probably has a solution XD I generally get my characters personality and then just look up names that go along with that. Fun fact! Leroy was the quickest I've ever named a character because I knew I wanted a name that meant 'king!' Leroy was the first name on the list and sounded best in my opinion, so it stuck!

Really?? I just literally was like... Okay I want a one syllable 'c' name and I found Cal. Needless to say I have a weird way of picking names!!

I'm pretty picky when it comes to naming my characters, this is part of why it takes so long. I have to know what the name means and make sure it fits the character, I also like to know the origin and stuff like that. It's probably just me that likes to do a bunch of research for a single name, I'm weird XD

I literally made up Lemmie's (another one of Cal's friends) name on a dime. I just wanted and L name and adlibed. I either do that or do exactly what you do with no inbetween- Edited at May 16, 2021 09:54 PM by Determined_Wolf

I do the exact same thing when it comes to first names, middle names, and last names- and nicknames, of course.

Axel is actually Scandinavian for 'Father of peace,' and his last name means fountain (I think it's either greek or french, I don't remember), and Ethan means strong, enduring, and long-lived in Hebrew. I knew I wanted a gentler name for Axel because he's just a sweet bean, and a harder name for Ethan, not because he's mean, but more to symbolize how much he's survived. A name that showed he was able to get through a lot while still staying kind. I ended up with Ethan mainly because of the second defenition, 'enduring,' and strong and long-lived were certainly good for him as well. Sorry if I'm ranting, I really like this type of stuff '^^
