Another good tip is using the phone book - randomly finding first and last names by flipping the pages open - just drop it and see where it lands. Thanks for the tip. I look forward to more, and congrats on your debut novel coming out.

As a picture book writer (and a sometimes rhymer), every syllable and sound counts. Sometimes I like to look for names that start with a certain sound or letter or have a certain number of syllables. Here's the site I use: <a href="http://www.babycenter.com/baby-names" rel="nofollow">Baby Names Finder</a>. It's in the middle part of the page.Christie Wright Wildhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13656162315858480593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1746050382328975047.post-43377195655220294722012-05-29T15:35:59.423-04:002012-05-29T15:35:59.423-04:00This is so fun!

And the Random Renamer seems like a great way to generate character nicknames.

Thanks! Creating names is one of my favorite things with writing. I tend to use the good 'ole SSN name database which has historical rankings of the top popular U.S. baby names by year. But I tend to write historical and contemporary, not fantasy, so I like to know which names were popular in an era.Stephscohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06328839483008086049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1746050382328975047.post-53453829804718475812012-05-29T10:54:36.402-04:002012-05-29T10:54:36.402-04:00Ha!
