Joy C. Woodbury replied to the topic Name Meanings and Comparisons! in the forum Characters 4 years, 3 months ago
Sounds fun!
For my historical fiction novel, Where Faith Remains, the main characters’ names just came to me without any thought, so I wasn’t thinking about their meanings or anything.
For my MC, Eliza, her full name is Elizabeth Jaeda, which I think is beautiful. Elizabeth means “God is my oath” and Jaeda means “wise” according t…[Read more]

Inkhorn replied to the topic Name Meanings and Comparisons! in the forum Characters 4 years, 3 months ago
For most of my characters, I look up names that defined them or some of their major traits.
My MC: Cahira:
Gaelic origin
Meaning: Warrior
Khalon:
American-English origin
Meaning: Strong Warrior
Conroy:
Irish-Gaelic origin
Meaning (there are several, but this is the one I’m going for): wise advisor or counsel
The best word t…[Read more]

Cool idea! I choose my names based on a couple things. Is it a pun? Does it have any deep symbolic meaning that can be connected to the themes? Could it be a pun? XD
My favorite names I’ve chosen so far!
King Hakan
Meaning of name: King (Turkish)
Every time I remember his name I have a bit of a laugh because I literally named him…[Read more]

This is will be very helpful for feedback for what I come up with. I will probably end up cooking up names and then giving them meaning after I have fully figured out my cultures.

Joshua Scheele replied to the topic Name Meanings and Comparisons! in the forum Characters 4 years, 3 months ago
Sure! Though I often make up my character names.

@emma-walker yesssss I always go way too in-depth with my names!! And I try to make them the right country of origin too
Right now I have a character who’s rather on the large side and his last name is Piccoli which means “small” XD

@emma-walker she sounds cool! I like the tie-in with the other characters!

Grace Benham replied to the topic Completely Useless Character Game in the forum Characters 4 years, 3 months ago
1) Name: Liana
2) Age: 16
3) Career/Role in Story: maybe a sort main-ish character or important side character
4) Personality: seems quiet and soft-spoken but maybe fearless and wild at heart?
5) Would you be friends with that character?: I think so
6) Any other details you may have gotten from the picture: I like her outfit…[Read more]

I know right!! He’s adorable, I love him. Funny thing, I didn’t even plan on having him. I just found that picture, couldn’t get over how cute he was, and decided someone needed a little brother -

That’s excellent!! I wish you the best of luck. That doesn’t sound like the easiest thing to do, but I believe in you!
How about you?
Oh me? Well, I, uh *pulls out list*

I’m breaking the awkward silence here…
Anyone interested in sharing their 2022 goals (whether it’s writing or something else)?
And did you accomplish any of your 2021 goals?
Best of luck to you through this new year!!

@valkyrie-falk (@erynne @emma-walker thought you might be interested after doing many of my previous characters)
Alrighty, so all of the characters I’ve been submitting on here are from the same book series that I’m currently writing. It’s essentially a super-hero story that is set in a world that is very similar to ours, except it used to be a…[Read more]

@gbfruitbat @erynne @emma-walker
Anyone want to give this lovely lady a try?

Yes, she is a dragon, but she thinks and feels like any human… And she is part of the same story the rest of my characters have been from.
I’m very curious to see what you guys to pick up from a visibly non-human character.

@emma-walker
Yes! that one is good too. The only downside is that it requires a subscription and an online connection. I am currently using it for a map project for my story to compare how it turns out to my map done with Wonderdraft. Another great map-making software that will possibly be better than Inkarnate and Wonderdraft is Project Deios,…[Read more] - Load More
