What's in a name?
AJsKellyMouse:
I don't know how I come up with the story names. It's been quite a while since I've titled a story, I don't have any titles for any of the new projects I am currently procrastinatin g. I believe for one of my stories (that is not yet posted, it's my next big re-write if I ever finish this one) got it's title because it was something that the two main characters said to each other. I'm not so great at giving stories titles.
As for my characters...s ome characters I just get a name that pops into my head, and it sticks. I have a baby name book as well. When I'm bored I will go through and list names that I like or that pop out to me, and if I need a character name I will often pull from the list, fitting the name to the character.

Ooh I never answered the story names. Sometimes a name will pop into my head and then i'll create a story around it. That's what I did for Thirteenth Step and Shadow Woods lol

Sometimes names just come to me, and sometimes I spend forever agonizing over them. With Broken, for example, the title was always there... it was just perfect... but I debated over Claire's name for days. I had a short list of names for her that I eventually weeded down and settled on Claire.

How about last names?!
RokofAges75:
I don't usually put as much thought into last names; I just pick something that sounds good or fits the character.
