LOL! Too funny, Kendra!<BR/><BR/>As for naming villains, Cindy, yep. A bully that I stood up to in grade school, (didn't work because he put his fist in my face, knocked me to the pavement, and sent me home bawling), has been in some of my books as THE Bully!!! [note: I've always been proud of the fact I stood up to him...but I might not have had I known some boys do hit girls...my dad had always said they don't. :)]Terry Spear/Terry Lee Wildehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04368056078063438342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-92005458761113031762008-07-19T15:58:00.000-04:002008-07-19T15:58:00.000-04:00I love naming my characters.

I try to have all the names I pick reflect something about the character, even if just in my own mind! Which is such a wasteland, honestly, it's very sad. Villain names are soooo fun. The villain I'm currently redeeming is named Lucien, which is a name I've always found dark and interesting (and a little reminiscent of Lucius Malfoy, come to think of it, who is bad but hot).<BR/><BR/>I have a great name for your cover dude: MINE. Ha ha ha ha:) Beyond that, he looks kind of like an Adrian to me. So I guess I'm getting the same Highlander vibe that Cindy is!Kendra Leigh Castlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10254059079950439368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-75303700429720777942008-07-19T14:06:00.000-04:002008-07-19T14:06:00.000-04:00Loved the post, Terry!And a subject near and dear ...Loved the post, Terry!<BR/><BR/>And a subject near and dear to my heart. I never knew my name was a compromise between my parents until I named my son. When my mother said she didn't much like the name I'd picked, I told her she had NO SAY since she'd named me Loucinda (with an "o"!). That's when she told me my name was a compromise between her and my father.<BR/><BR/>As for character names, I confess to naming villains after my ex. LOL! He'll never know! And certain walk-on characters with annoying traits often get names of people who have annoyed me in real life. :-) And then there's the romantic suspense writer's ultimate revenge (or compliment, depending) naming the victim after someone.<BR/><BR/>Yup, naming characters can be lots of fun, not to mention theraputic!<BR/><BR/>I think your picture guy looks a bit like a Highlander, so I'm naming him Alasdair. ;-)<BR/><BR/>AC with kilts on the brainLoucinda McGary aka Aunty Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02217492654108300014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-70352853121553526202008-07-19T12:36:00.000-04:002008-07-19T12:36:00.000-04:00Gross name, all right!

I'd never even thought about it before that, he was such a jerk in my own mind. Anyway I name your picture-guy "Wulfgar."Christina Harlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03573077374647045372noreply@blogger.com
