ArchivesRe: Budding Novelist's Fantasy Name Board
in reply to a message by Barb
What a good idea.
It always puzzles me how these people intend to make up an entire story (novel? screenplay? computer game??) but can't even think of names for their characters. As for the perennial question: What do you think of when you hear N or M - surely it's the job of the creative artist to shape our perceptions, not fit in with them? I can't quite imagine that nice Mr Shakespeare rushing around London asking strangers if they preferred Juliet or Angela for a teenage runaway's nurse.
