This Decandent Diversion = Handy Naming Tool
In the midst of novel writing ~ alright, alright, chapter 1 writing ~I found myself in a bind. I was deep into describing a scene when I realized I needed of a neat sounding name for an insignificant little hamlet and for a couple of incidental characters. When I flipped to my handy-dandy List of Useable People Names & Useable Place Names (as suggest by 1st Draft in 30 Days) and I faced an empty list. Neat, numbered lines ran the length of a 8 1/2 x 11 page of paper, but no list of place or people names. Of course, at that moment, my brain freezes over and nothing short of a Super Nova was going to melt it into function again. I couldn’t come up with any names whatsoever.
So what did I do?
Naturally, I surfed the Net. What better way is there for a blocked writer to obtain inspiration ~ don’t answer that, I know the Internet is not even on the bottom of the top 20 Ways to Remove Writer’s Block list.
But I surfed and I found a treasure horde of Name Generators!
You’re gonna love these. There are name generators for Being/Alien Species, Organization, Superheroes, Technology, Medieval Street NNames, Eqyptian Names
