Characters are my outlet for using names so weird I'd never use them in real life. And for "trying out" the ones I might use, to see what they'd be like. Zil and Jola are characters in a story inspired by a dream I had, so it sort of makes sense that they have no meaning .. I never thought much about the meanings (so superficial am I sometimes), but I try to get the name's origin to have something to do with the character's life or heritage. Dr. Chloris, Tory, and Pera are neat - a subtle way to indulge your interest in names. I wish I'd thought of it.Right now I'm stalling before I have to name a character I'll be in a game. I am not sure what name I want to use, but once I name her I'm committed. I thought of using Ascelot, because the meaning is unknown but it looks a little bit like "ask a lot." And I'm going to be asking a lot, because I've never played the game before!- chazda

I like that!I still love Jola, but I consider it a take off Jolie and to mean "pretty".-Seda*
