One of my books where I wanted more unusual names (future set) I used place names from the area where it was set - that worked brilliantly. For my contemp. YA - I research the meanings of the names, usually. But sometimes, the characters tell me who they are.<br /><br />Best literary name: Bonanza Jellybean in Even Cowgirls Get the Blues or Hermione Grainger - I mean really, all of JK Rowling's names are fantastic.Jaye Robin Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03929739858812153990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1225588878619457421.post-15730623197039272282012-08-06T14:13:16.431-06:002012-08-06T14:13:16.431-06:00Will you look up Cole?Will you look up Cole?Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16209537361618766497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1225588878619457421.post-8702907087626616422012-08-06T14:12:37.854-06:002012-08-06T14:12:37.854-06:00I read a book with a Tobias in it and I couldn'...I read a book with a Tobias in it and I couldn't stop thinking about the weird guy from Arrested Development.
