The Art of Names
And now for something completely different … Names are interesting don’t you think? This website - www.behindthename.com - would be a good resource for fiction writers stuck for character names.
My favorite page is the “Random Name Generator” which you can program to make names from different countries and cultural groups (and fun groups). My fairy name is Sugarbud Dazzlemist. If I were a hillbilly I’d be Cowplanter Barntoter. My rapper name: Chill Rock Flava-C.
I wonder if I could generate new names for my friends as Christmas presents? It is in keeping with my “homemade is best” campaign!
