Does it have an awkward arrangement of letters that I'm going to hate typing by page 52? When I pick a name the first thing I do is type it a dozen times.

I could think of a whole fantasy world in which it would work perfectly. And now you bring a very nice connotation to mind!

So I name all my Heroines simple, plain names. This is actually kind of funny – I have a goofy name (december) and of course, I got picked on when I was a kid.

Some names just pop up from the very beginning, but others I really have to think about and usually spend time flip-flopping between several (it's usually the hero's name I have issues with). To add to your list, I also do a google search just to make sure there's not a real person tied to the name. In this day and age, you never know! Great tips Stephanie!

I have a hard time with names. I have found recently I am started to reuse names from other stories! Ekk. That's not good, so your article came at a great time. Thanks again!

I actually keep an A-Z list of names for each book to make sure I don't overuse a certain sound or letter. I had to start doing this because in a former manuscript of mine, 6 characters had names starting with T. You know, Sela, I totally forgot that step.
