WACC- Writers Against Cardboard Characters discussion

We all have trouble thinking of the perfect name, so here's a topic to offer advice about such things. I have about 500 girl names and 500 guy names, so if you guys want me to, I can post those lists.

Thank you, Niki! I was just griping about this! I love you! I have a magical book of baby names, so I can help too!

I know you were. That's why I made this. You want me to post my lists?

Sure! Do you want me to post anything out of my magical book of baby names?

HOly smokes! You weren't kidding when you said 500!

The M names for girls and the R names for guys are off limits. I'll have Sella eat you if you steal any of those.

Nope. The guy list is more like 450, but still.

Niki wrote: "The M names for girls and the R names for guys are off limits. I'll have Sella eat you if you steal any of those."

What if I have characters already with those names? Long before I saw either list?

Haha, that's okay. I was just kidding.

:P

Okay! Coolio.

Oh, I'm so proud of you. *smiles* 'Mitch' is on your boy names list.

I am very possessive of my names. Morgan, Meredith, Sloane, Jackie, Delaney, Whit, Fitz, Leo, Ryder, Xander... MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE!!!!!!!!!

♫Marisa wrote: "Oh, I'm so proud of you. *smiles* 'Mitch' is on your boy names list."

Haha, everything's on my lists. I basically went through my baby name book and highlighted everything that wasn't weird. And some that were...

Mitch is taken. Nobody can have it. Okay, they can, but he's MINE!!!! As is Jocelyn! Jett? That's awesome! It reminds me of Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, it does.

What about Jett?

I am possessive of my names as well. Joseph, Evangeline, Cassidy, Ethan, Ivey, Bethany, Nathan, Tal, Jenny, Spencer... MINE!

I have an Evangeline...

I think I might change Alec's name to Brennan. It just... works better.

Niki wrote: "I have an Evangeline..."

I can forgive you... maybe. ;]

I've had her for 5 years, kid.

I was kidding about the maybe part. And I'm fine with similar names as long as someone doesn't just copy mine... which you didn't.

Hahaha! Maxy is on there, just spelled differently. Marisa calls me Maxy all the time.

Maybe we should start a name folder with differnet catagories? e.g "Modern girls names" "Fairy names" "midevil names" etc.

NOOOO! DO NOT CHANGE IT! I LIKE THE NAME ALEC!

Brilliant idea. I need the most help with fantasy-type names, so fairy names and midieval names would be immensly helpful. My magical book of baby names is almost completely useless for those.

I like that name, too, but it doesn't fit his character. I can tell you through the inbox why, but I don't want to spoil it for a ton of people.

Well, then tell me "through the inbox". Brennan is going to drive me crazy, though.

Sorry, I'm braindead and I didn't know how to put it... garflubble!

garfubble!

No! MY WORD! XD

lol i no don't spaz... wait... TOO LATE! XD

SPAZZY MCGEE!!! THAT WOULD BE MEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

What the WT? (That's my sister's saying XD)

Brennan/Alec needs a better name, but NOTHING FITS! BAH!

What do you guys think of Darian as a name for him? Eh?

Sorry never read it.

Wow, that's a lot of names. I like Irish names, but I didn't realize it until now. I've got Gabriel, Aedon, Natalie, Corbyn, Rowan, Caleb, Hayley, Garrett, Opal and more. Then I tend to go to simple 'old' names like Jack, Jenny, William, and so on.

Does anyone else notice a theme or a common thread in the names you choose?

I dunno. But is Liam an Irish sort of name? Because I like Liam.

Yes, Liam is Irish. I've used that one too.

I don't really have a theme. I tend to make up my own, short versions of names.

Like Wren/Renn=Renan

Andrea->Drea->Mrea

Aislin= Aydlyn

I'm making a name folder. Justa sec.

There is now a names folder. Please post your names there. I'm going to close this topic.
