I’m sitting here, plotting project three and figuring out my characters. I decided on a name for my Heroine, my annoying pain-in-the-ass antagonist guy, but still haven’t come up with a name for my Hero. So I thought it might be time to go name searching online soon, and a little shiver of excitement just ran up my spine. *Squeal!*
I love names! LOVE THEM!!! Naming my two babies was super fun for me. I had lists, spent hours looking in books and online, and talking to my husband about options. I’m sure I annoyed him to no end. And even though we knew we were having girls, I still had a list of boys names — and coordinating middle names! — just in case…yeah right! I knew I only needed girl names, but how could I resist an opportunity to pick out boy names?!
Seriously, I love writing, I love plotting out a new story, creating characters and settings, etc. And I love it when everything starts to come together into an awesome finished product. But I have to admit, I get seriously excited when a character needs a little help picking their name, because then it means I get to go name searching again. Ah, bliss… And, I don’t have to ask anyone’s opinion on the name either! Naming my characters isn’t like naming a child — no one gets to veto my choice! Woot!
So, I’m off to find some possible names for my hero. There’s that tingle again! Tell me, do you get excited picking out names for your characters, too? Or maybe I’m just weird. 🙂
