Hello friend!

Thanks, I’m glad you enjoy my stream-of-thought process for making up weird names 😉 I’m glad you like them!

I too sometimes resort to baby name sites, LOL. I mostly use them for coming up with middle names for my characters whenever I want to make a character sheet for them, or if I am just really struggling to think of a name. I also pick names mostly based on how they sound, so don’t feel too bad about that LOL. Sometimes, though, I want a specific name if it will have something to do with an Elemental’s power (Penny’s middle name is Ashlynn, which I picked because her power is fire, so ASHlynn, LOL). I also use fantasy name generators if my brain cannot think of any sounds that seem good together (though I just use those as inspiration).

Ooo, I like that idea of using names from different languages! I tried to do that once when I wanted a specific name that had something to do with “controlling minds” (also for Elemental XD), and the best one I found was Manasavi, which I believe is Indian, but I have no idea if I was pronouncing it correctly, so I just ditched it and strove for that character to have a different name, LOL. Preferably one that I could pronounce 😉

I like those country names! That’s such a cool process to come up with them too! I find them super creative and original even after they’re translated back 😉

Ah, Penny… while she does have her sweet side (mostly when it comes to her brother and eventually, as the story goes on, she’s nice to more), she is mostly sassy and headstrong. I have her that way because the first 17 years of her life, her mother kept her hidden (for obvious reasons), and while she understood some of it, Rebecca did keep some secrets from Alex and Penny. So when the secrets were revealed to them, Penny had trust issues with most people after that. She really only felt close to Alexander because she didn’t know who she could trust after her mother lied to her. Don’t worry, though, she gets friendlier as the story goes on; the other six main characters break through the stone wall of her guarded heart. I know that sounds corny, but oh well, it was the best analogy I could think of LOL.

Oh wow, that’s so cool! I like the setting for your story; I don’t see a lot of Middle-East settings in stories nowadays. I would love a summary!

And ooo, I love the name Liorah! It’s such a pretty name! Also, your art is amazing!! 😀 She looks so cool! Just from your profile picture, she seems like such a fun character to write and even read!
