#character naming

[tune-on-in-folks]

I was looking through my book of Celtic Names for a character name when I found this:

Alastor's name is literally just another form of Alexander.

I would really like to use that name for a character, but unfortunately I once knew someone in life with that name, and can therefore never use it for anything ever.

Ahhh!! So I finally figured out the name for Dean and Cas’ second baby and I’m sooo excited! I’m probably like another 100k words away from them ever being born but either way now they have a name!

If JK Rowling wasn't British herself, she'd make a token British character called Brittany Englishman.

idk if everyone already knows this but pro tip if youre stuck coming up with character names

go to the end credits of any movie and pause at the parts where like 50 people are credited for the randomest stuff like camera miniature rigging and light positioning in 4k ultra hd or whatever and just read through all of the names, you can combine names too and stuff

A friend said naming someone after a gemstone is always cool, so I tried to be a contrarian with the example of “Fool’s Gold”. And then I realized that making a character Fools Gold is actually sick. And you can make their real name “Pyrite” too
