Oh like you've got a lot of room to talk about ODDNESS.

Wasn't that you who used to write for Dyrbehersker?

Sadly, I don't think any of you are alone. I doubt any of us are as unique as we might like.

Except Patrick. I have never else heard of using a calculator. Patrick wins! :D

I almost always choose names with some kind of meaning. Sometimes they're friends names, characters from my novel, random syllables, sometimes they're foreign words, or whatever.

I may not be alone here, but I have it on good authority that I am uniquely unique

You may find this hard to believe, but this would not be the first time the word odd has been attached to me  :bounce:

The names for my personas just come to me, with the exclusion of Burkina.

I don't know what method I use most.  For NPCs I usually just hit the keys on the keyboard and see what I get and play with it.  Or I look around the room for words and start combining them into something that makes sense (that's how I got M'tone - a Modern English dictionary and a textbook by Millstone).

I've done the town name thing too (and I'll give anyone THREE posts if they can pick out two town names I have used for names   :flower: ) (except those people that I actually TOLD the names to cause that's just cheating)

I like irony in my character names. :D Sarian was derived from something that meant 'chaste' or 'celibate'. Fielton is a tender healer.

Dyaera was how many vowels I could shove into one word. *pounds keyboard*

Sometimes I think I've been very creative, and then I'll reread a book and find out that Kenza was actually a very minor character who showed up once in a Melanie Rawn book, and I'll be totally depressed at my lack of originality. :p (Though I suppose impressed at my memory?? How'd that thing STICK in there after one mention in some 4,000 pages??)

I love how Emma's plea for help turned into a very interesting discussion about where we come up with names LOL

who doesn't love Triad? :)

We love you too Emma, and will do our very best to help your poor busy timelining fingers! :computer:

As for my names, I just make them up.   I like odd combinations of vowels and consonants (read: Hasaarth and Aerrath) and stuff that sounds olde... or just out of this world!  And I love a Y ! its like my favorite letter.  (Lillyth, Jaydarin, R'yin ,upcoming brownrider T'brynn..dysali, daynar.. oh nooooooo! THey ALL have Ys! Im predictable!).  And I rob from people who are smarter than me.  If I read a beautiful name somewhere, I'll change it up a little and use that..  !  I LOVE making up names.  If anyone ever wants help making up names, ask me!  

I write pages (by hand and pen even, not by computer) of spellings and words until I find one I "Like" the "look" of :)

Does anyone else do THAT? LOL Patrick and I should mix our pages together and see what we get!   You should have seen my pages to come up with Hasaarth and also the ONPC, D'trian and Mistaith.

FUn!  I love names :)

Yeah, I've done that, take a sound I like and incorporate it into a name.

I am fond of double vowel (except 'e' and 'o', I mena they've been done to death), and hard guttural stops.

Now I want to add that to my list of stats. *g* Count how many times each letter shows up in the various persona names!

I bet I have more y's and n's than is normal. :p I love y and n!
