Charater Names

I didn't realize how fun/hard it is to come up with good character names.

I think I've played around enough with my characters' names (the main people anyways) for my fantasy series.

Here we go:
1.Valerian Wilson (boy)
2.Amedei Wilson (girl)
3.Kai Wilson (boy)
4.Kelby Adair (girl)
5.Melodi Adair
6.Glade Garrison (girl)
7.Calder Garrison (boy)
8.Dagner
9.Mabel


I won't give anything else away for now.

HP Pureblood

Naturally after a Harry Potter movie is released, I have the inner lure to re-read the whole series all over again just so I can nostalgically experience the joy, laughter, and adventure that HP delivers.

So, in one week's time,instead of writing, I have re-read the first 3 HPs and am now in the 4th. I have also been analyzing J.K. Rowling's structure and dialogue techniques.

Luckily, and ironically, the Harry Potter movie marathon was on last weekend! Oh, thank you Warner Brothers and Fox Family!



There's a scene in The Chamber of Secrets (#2) where Tom Marvolo Riddle (a young Lord Voldemort) writes his name in the air with his wand and then swirls it around to reveal "I am Lord Voldemort" to Harry.

I dorkishly, wanted to play around with my name as well, plus I've heard sometimes that pen names are created this way (and perhaps character names).


I found that I clearly have too many letter A's in my name.

Amanda Wade
1. Wanda Namad
2. Dawna Demaa
3. Adanea Mawd

Amanda Aloise Wade
1. Laandi Osa Mawadee
this one really fits the HP theme, but it sounds more like a spell than a name. Man, I have too many A's!


Perhaps, a more interesting post will be arriving soon--this was more of an attempt at filling space and feeling accomplished at my blog...
