Q: I like unique names for characters and am looking forward to coming up with some when I start writing. What's the most unique character name you've come across?
This is a good question. The 1st name that comes to mind is Renesme. A couple of other names that come to mind are Katniss and Peeta. I also dislike when an author uses the name that is not likely to be from that time period.
Good call about authors using names from a different time period. And yes - Renesme is very unique, although I think it's awful!

Me, too. I like names to fit well in the setting and language and time. Here's my FF: Colorimetry
ReplyDeleteKatniss was the first name that came to my mind! I think The Hunger Names had a lot of unusual (but pretty cool) names included. :)
