Finding Character Names

9/18/2016

1 Comment

 
Have you ever had to name a character, persona, or just wondered where authors get their names from?

I was just glancing through the "people you may know" on Linked In and noticed some unusual names. 
With a little juxtaposition and creative license (don't want to use anyone's real names), I was very quickly able to come up with this list.  See if you find any of these amusing: 


Tina Learner -- Educational Software Developer
Digger Crabtree -- Garden Supply Consultant
Emma Askew -- Organizational  Design Specialist
Justin Plumbs -- Architectural Site Evaluator
Dan Reeds -- Book Editor
Lotta Bile -- Internal Medicine
Casey Boils -- Dematologist
Guy Armstrong -- Personal Trainer
Crystal Flute -- Wine Taster
Ryder Whitehurst -- Funeral Home Owner
Carrie Champagne -- Event Organizer
Ida Ho - Executive Director,  Potatoes are Us
Mary B. Frank -- Ethics Officer


If you can add to the list, please add in the comments! 

Have a great day,

Nancy
