I get the 2nd page!



In Conquerer, I got the one good guy I added from a book (The Paradise Snare, Han Solo trilogy book one) and decided the name was too unpronounceable (like, how do you say "Muuurgh"?) so I turned to the globe. Look around the Philippines, and around South America. Some of the names are real cool, like Zanzibar





Also, just take a normal name (short) like, say, Tom, and add a cool ending, like "boro" and you get Tomboro.

Another name I love to use is my own.



Lemme think, another name I like is Blackavar, from Watership Down. (My brother uses it)



Here's one more, that I used in another story, (which I haven't posted because it's too violent.) Shmelvelveita.

I bang my head against a wall and whatever doesn't sound like medicine I use. j/k

i think about the personality of the character and make a name to reflect it. though sometimes i use the former meothod(only when desperate)

When I first invented Rumbo's name, I took my name (Russell) and mixed it with Rambo (dont ask me why) and got Rumbo, lol. If you wanna good name try mixing yours or another name with something else like I did. The rabbit part is self explanatory....
