| Ottilie runs in rainbows |
Forgive me for letting this blog linger a bit — back soon with more rarities, gearing up for a series of 2012 Olympic names and much, much more. I've been busy with other writing projects. Just for funsies, here are the names I used for one of them. I don't know if any other namers out there also write fiction, but I find the naming process for characters so funny. It's not a reflection of my personal taste at all, just what the story seems to demand —
Anna
Bridget
Carmen
Greta
Joss
Leah
Mae
Mary-Kate
Nina
Nora
Rosie
Sosie
Thora
Dylan
Dylan
Henry
James
Jay
Kittredge — I can't decide if he should be called Kit or Kitts

Max
Shane
I also write fiction. There is one big project I've been working on since last November. It takes place in the rural South during the 1910s, which is pretty much a namer's dream. My main character comes from a family of fourteen: Rosie, Otis, Lizzie, Grover, Earl, Lula, Zach, Maudie, Travis, Tru, Wilbie, Emma, Sam, and Davy. Many of them go by nicknames. Zach is short for Zachariah, Tru is short for Gertrude, Wilbie is short for Wilbur, etc.
ReplyDelete@Emily that sounds like an interesting novel, when wi it be available on Amazon? ;)
ReplyDeleteI like most of those names. Ottilie as well. Bridget, Anna, Henry, and James are some of my absolute favorite names. Shane's been growing on me, though I used to hate it.
