Where can I find some really good names for my characters?

Question

No one answered my question nor have suggested something decent.

Character 1 Hunter Zander needs a middle name. He is a really sweet character. He almost like Edward Cullen(if know who he is), w/o the vampire side. Hunter is a witch and will do everything is his power to protect Ellen.

Character 2 Ryan needs a new first and last name. He is the opposite of Hunter. He doesn't love Ellen, but he needs her to break a cruse. he's a really evil.

Can someone please, please help me.

try a name site like www.behindthename.com, using the random generator or just browsing the database.

Answer 7

You could try looking in a local graveyard for names. There are a lot of interesting ones in cemeteries. Another great place to look is on your family tree, if you have one. My relatives have some pretty weird middle names (family names) that are fun to use in writing. Other places to look are in baby name books, especially weird ones like books of magical names. Another (desperate) thing to do is just make a name up. Think of some sounds you like, and then combine them. That's how authors such as J. K. Rowling cam up with names for things, and that's how the name Hagen-Daaz (the ice cream brand) was created.
