  1. Jessica, Craig, George, Sarah. IDK!!! maybe you can choose like scotland or england


  2. why don't you try the name generator....you just need to type the name and click the genre and generate it...you will get the names you want  

  3. http://www.behindthename.com/ You could try that site. It has quite a bit to choose from.  

  4. Do research...look online.  Read mythology and folktales thats a great way to get inspiration for unique sounding names and places.  

  5. Mythology is a good place to start.

    Sometimes it works to take a real work like, say, "friendship" for example (maybe something that you want the name to mean) and go to the thesuarus.  A synonym is "accord."  You can play with the spelling and sound of that name, or combine it with another word, to create a completely original name.

    So, let's say your character is small and happy.  A synonym for small is tiny and a synonym for happy (well, carefree) is halcyon.  You could make a whole new name by combining those words to something like Tincyon.  

  6. book or web site devoted to baby names- get one.  an atlas, a world map, a world atlas, historical world map.  invaluable reference.  after you choose a place, a baby name book will tell you where each name originated and what it means there.
