Names
You are writing to feel special. Therefore, your CHARACTER must be special. It follows that the name, also, must be special. Oh, and unique.
To accomplish this, you must go through five – yes, FIVE – stages.
Stage one:
To create a first name perfect for your (perfect) character, you must go back to the age-old tradition of naming after certain qualities of your (perfect) character's (perfect) appearance. Perfect characters *Cough Mary sue cough* have the most talented parents who are able to tell what their child's eye colour or personality is going to be like before they have even been born, therefor suitable suggestions could be as follows:
Emerald Ash Hazel Sapphire sky Ivy Violet *snigger multi-coloured snigger*
Angel Deville Joy *snigger manically depressed* Regina Beauty *Kleptomaniac?*
Your (perfect) character is a (perfectly) special character and usually born with hair, so you can name her after that too! Normal Parents would unfortunately have to call their children things such as:
Baldy, Baldette, Baldina, Balderella, Balderry, Balderic, Baldic, Baldward, Baldson, Baldiet, Baldess, pink'n'fleshy, hairless, Indistinguishable, Balde, Hairy-lesse, hair-notyetter or even Missintheirhair
Though you may prefer to call your character something along the lines of Ebony, Raven, Midnight or Ivory. JAm: Ivory? that must be a REALLY blonde blonde CouldBe: nah, it's when they have horns growing out of their head…
We have chosen Raven for one of our two examples.
Stage two:
Now, you must add an amazing noun to go with the adjective you have chosen. It must also reflect her personality, looks, or general awesomeness.
In our example 'Raven' we have chosen to add 'Wing'. On our other character 'Magpie' with 'Glitter'.
If you want to, you could even add an extra one or two nouns or adjectives.
Raven Wing Mist
Magpie Glitter Gleam
Stage three:
Next you must add yet another noun except that THIS noun MUST end with a suffix (-ness, -ious, -ence…) such as darkness, mistiness, mysterious, gracious…etc.
Our (perfect) character's names are now:
Raven Wing Mist Innocence
Magpie Glitter Gleam Shininess
Guest star: Misty Mist Mist Mistyness
Stage four:
pointless apostrophe alert! Next you must 'accessorise' your name with a beautiful component called apostrophe.
Our (perfect) characters:
Ra'ven Wing Mist Inno'cence
Magpie Gli'tter Gleam Shi'ni'ness
Guest star: Mi's't'y M'''ist Mis't Misty'nes's
It is best not to put more than two apostrophes to four names.
Stage five:
Admire your name, ignore any comments about it and tell as many people as you can about your epic character coming up in your next fanfic.
TIP: remember to take as MUCH time as possible to choose the name; it is one of the most important factors in your story.
