You'v...Thanks for all the wonderful ideas guys. You've come up with heaps of really cool names. <br /><br />Sherre: I loved reading your reasons behind choosing those names :) I usually just steal my names from all over the shop.<br /><br />Sabrina: Don't be sorry. Your suggestions were great!<br /><br />Mimi: We are so on the same wavelength. I already have a Gage in the book! Holden = awesome.<br /><br />Jenny: Ember has just been bumped up to important supporting character status.<br /><br />Liza: All great choices. Will add those in somewhere for sure.<br /><br />Peggy: Great idea. I always sit and watch the unusual names roll up after a movie and never once thought to "steal" some of them!<br /><br />Ashlee: Ryker & Sterling are gold. I know you love the super unusual names:)<br /><br />Jinny: Mira is a beautiful name. Farm girl it is!<br /><br />Thanks again everyone. I'll start incorporating names this weekend. It's so much more fun and motivating to write a book with friendly input :)Lanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00002224549199474383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249141384507760517.post-37083719907663824052011-08-24T18:28:46.028+10:002011-08-24T18:28:46.028+10:00Ahhh I'm so bad with names!

I think it would make a nice name for a farm girl ;PAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02288201479290735683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249141384507760517.post-76917780884468345432011-08-24T15:14:16.299+10:002011-08-24T15:14:16.299+10:00Okay, so I looked over my name list and here are a...Okay, so I looked over my name list and here are a few I liked.<br /><br />Cascade-Sounds kind of upper class<br />Meadow- Farmer?<br />Ryker<br />Sterling-Upper classy<br />Waverlee<br />Slate...hummm that's what I gotAshley @ Bookaholics Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17547219343580390070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249141384507760517.post-46034765465371065782011-08-24T07:40:21.124+10:002011-08-24T07:40:21.124+10:00i love unique names too. yu can tell from some of ...i love unique names too. yu can tell from some of my characters. ill post some names i like a little later for ya. im on break at work and just felt the need to comment ill be back. i agree i like ember. :)Ashley @ Bookaholics Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17547219343580390070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249141384507760517.post-66108667376045266312011-08-24T06:43:50.780+10:002011-08-24T06:43:50.780+10:00I am awful at picking out names!

I think character names are probably more healthier than spawning tons of babies for my mental stability though. SO, I'D LOVE TO HELP!<br /><br />I'm with Sherre on Floyd and Inez! Those sound legit. <br /><br />Seeders: Valentina, Felix, Stefan, Roman<br />Merchants: Clement, Fabian, Penelope, Tallulah<br />Farmers: Frances, Cora, Willa, Hugh, BeauBook Crook Lizahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13665787911458461098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249141384507760517.post-50499064531990510322011-08-24T04:29:32.597+10:002011-08-24T04:29:32.597+10:00Eeek!

But I&#...I'm really bad at choosing names, too! But I'm still going to attempt to help you (even though my name choices probably won't be that great LOL). <br /><br />A farmer? Hmm, maybe Jay (because I like it and it reminds me of a blue jay), Owen (Does that sound like a farmer?), or Wells (because I have a friend that lives on a farm who goes by this name!) for guys. Dominic could work, too. Abigail and Lydia seem like cute names for farm girls!<br /><br />Merchants? Gage, Brocker, or Wyatt could work for guys. Emmali, Maura, or Sydnie are cool female merchant names!<br /><br />And Seeders? I'm thinking Juliette, Kierra, or Amelia for girls, and Rockwell, Jordan, or Holden for guys. <br /><br />I know most of these names are pretty modern, but who says they won't work in the future? x)<br /><br />Hopefully the names I listed will at least trigger something in the back of your head to help you come up with awesome character names for this book. Good luck, Lan! :)Mimi Valentinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04241457025232914551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249141384507760517.post-49310269607998386382011-08-24T00:59:22.845+10:002011-08-24T00:59:22.845+10:00I am pretty bad about names.

The worst thing is using a common name, then later being questioned by someone you know with the name if it is meant to be them... 'No I write to escape you people!' is what a fellow writer told me she said once. I loved it!<br /><br />I don't have any names for you, but that as time goes on we use common words for names, like months, days of the week, I even met someone with the first name of Magic. I really like the concept of turning words to names.Beth D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18032607556352052517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249141384507760517.post-75809130782675632802011-08-23T23:59:11.250+10:002011-08-23T23:59:11.250+10:00these names are going to sound ridiculous but...

I am worse than you at picking names, however...UGH! I am worse than you at picking names, however i guess I can choose a few. Farmer names make me think of old people in my family (no they werent famers...but they were QUITE country)<br /><br />Angrish - this is my blood grandfathers name (i've never met him, only my step grandfather), although it was spelled wrong on his birth certificate and his name forever remained Angry, if you ask me it sounds quite umm...farmish?<br /><br />There are always the thomas's and bill's to choose from <br /><br />I guess I should also give a female name...hmmm...Mamae? it sounds pretty farm happy, like she opens the doors with lemonade and cookies on a summer day and may be a grandma but maybe not. IDK, those are some suggestions.<br /><br />For the merchants, im thinking Floyd or Inez. I'm not sure why I chose them. I just thought merchant and those names popped into my head.<br /><br />Finally, for the seeders I think there should be common basic names like Chad, Thomas (again...), Henry, Elizabeth, Victoria, or Theresa. <br /><br />So i guess I was better at this name thing than I thought. O well. I hope this helps!Sherrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05132055588504532128noreply@blogger.com
