My names tend to come to me by combing through hundreds of them, writing up a short list of possibilities, then living with them for a few days to see which one coalesces around the character.<BR/><BR/>I am able to change the last name easier than the first, for some reason.Robin Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02960833482145500665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26414616.post-31242813918615888042009-02-24T17:18:00.000-08:002009-02-24T17:18:00.000-08:00Such kindredness!

Sometimes it jumps at me, sometimes it wriggles up next to me, but by the time I am really writing, I have it. And it doesn't ever change for the main character once I begin. Hah!
