Character names

[Anonymous]

How do you come up with them? If you have a lot, you can just say how in general.

Celine Domremy was actually based on a character I had created on a medieval site but never got to play.

Celine was just a name I like and a cool Medieval name (mother of Clovis & a Catholic saint).
Domremy was because I just finished studying Joan of Arc in my French Civ class and Joan of Arc was born in Domremy, France. Plus I just like saying Domremy! (dom-ray-MEE)

Hmmmm....Character names.

Most of them I make up, but otherwise I'll sometimes go to a baby-name website and type in different ethnicities or letters and see if anything cool comes up!

Andwyad
Corwyn
Chailyn
Eirene
Sahirah

I beLIEVE that the majorit of those names are of gaelic/celtic origins. It's been a while, I don't quite remember :)

XD I know what you mean, Gold; I tend to make up names a lot until I find one that sounds 'right'.

Clavott is a variation of the name of my piano (it's a Yamaha, boo.) Galanus was purely random.

I'm a little OCD about the names of my female characters because no matter what they have to end in 'a'! xD I still pick one that seems to go well with their character...as a character, but yeah. x] Male names I'm more lenient with myself over, though.

I either make them up or find them on a baby name site. x3 Sometimes I use words for names.

When I make up a name, I sometimes just throw random letters together, combine names, or just alter names.
