How I Named My Characters in My Charm Wars Series

Some readers have asked me how I came up with names for the characters in my Charm Wars Series.

Some names, such as Alyse Dejune and and Rill Larkin, are good, old-fashioned names that everyone uses. Rill’s dog Faith is named after my dog Faith. She didn’t seem honored to be in the story. Other names, though, are fantasy names. How did I come up with them? By using a fantasy name generator.

One I particularly like is Reedsy’s Fantasy Names Generators, which gives you the choice of creating fantasy names for humans, dragons, and Elfs.

Here are a couple of more fantasy name generators. There are tons of others, and you can have a good time checking them out.
