One of my all-time favorite things to do is to come up with character names. It's like that exciting moment when you adopt a new pet and can't wait to give it a name.... but now it's a whole CAST. A trick I use, since my stories are from the 20th century South, is to troll through old 1950s yearbooks from Mississippi, Arkansas and Tennessee, to find the quirky names that were so typical of the era. Then I mix them in with the "usual" Georges, Janes, Margarets and Johns. Here are some zingers (that I won't be using this time, so help yourselves)!!! (women) Quilla May Louvelle Berta (men) Vander - okay that was my actual great-uncle Marron Ewell What are some sources you guys use for names, especially if you do historic or fantasy fiction?
