Well I kind of just put sounds together. The c...Oh. Well I kind of just put sounds together. The characters are first imaged in my mind, and then I have to figure out whether or not their name needs to sound "soft", "hard", "sly", "sharp", "quiet", or "loud (or a mix of all of the above. For example, Forde needed to have a hard name, but it needed to sharply grab the reader's attention. The "f", "r", and "d" in "Forde" are hard letters, and come off as a blockish sound. His last name, however, has a more sharp sound to it. The "ick" in "Barrick" is cut off abrubtly and leaves a nice ring to his name. Often times the names just jump into my head. Wreaknatter, Wapper, Flare, Alsenoth, Kala, Chi-Chi, and Kara all came without any difficulty. Mordin, Sketh, Greilner, and Regalon were all extremely difficult (Sketh especially). Often times I have such a perfect image of who these characters are in my mind that their names never seem adequate enough. It's just really random, but it is ALWAYS fun to make up them names. Also many of the names end up having a deeper meaning (see my Roots post). Alsenoth's name is especially deliberate in its meaning. So, I guess there are just a number of ways on how I get my names.Adam Gonzaleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01617203687303466110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-125243288711428539.post-45192548401702420272009-01-24T15:44:00.000-07:002009-01-24T15:44:00.000-07:00the character onesthe character onesKirthihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10857145616217476440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-125243288711428539.post-24783692507695330132009-01-19T23:35:00.000-07:002009-01-19T23:35:00.000-07:00The character names, or the book names?The character names, or the book names?Adam Gonzaleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01617203687303466110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-125243288711428539.post-25364983961716103892009-01-19T14:04:00.000-07:002009-01-19T14:04:00.000-07:00where do you get all these cool names?where do you get all these cool names?Kirthihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10857145616217476440noreply@blogger.com
