All four of them have names of characters in books my husband and I love. (The most ordinary one among them is Fiona.) <br /><br />And I have to say I'm partial to Prince Charming too. At first I thought he was pretty generic, but he grew on me.

Then after all that I ended up deciding to use the nicknames I originally picked out (before the research). I guess my mind was already made up. That was like with my kids too. I loved the first name we picked out for my second son, but we had to veto it because it was too much like his cousin's name. Then when he was born we said, who cares, and used it anyways. None of the other names fit just right.<br /><br />I love Prince Charming too - so glad he came to his senses.<br /><br />Good luck with the requests :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03308347645723660613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4058856697581528687.post-50285829300940593582012-02-03T10:59:52.978-08:002012-02-03T10:59:52.978-08:00Congrats on sending out queries, and on getting in...Congrats on sending out queries, and on getting insta-successes!

Oh, sweet eye candy. Mmm...
Ye...Michael Fassbender. Oh, sweet eye candy. Mmm...<br />Yes, men with swords are awesome. And marshmallow cereals. This week I was obsessed with chocolate cake. I made one on Sunday and proceeded to single-handedly eat 60% of it over the week. I'm ... not proud of this. (Okay, LIES! I'm totally proud of myself.)<br />And NAMES! I love names! I have Baby Names lists and Character Names lists (boy and girl for each). The site I use is babynames.com. Usually when I name a character, I'm quite deliberate about it (not with super minor chars, but everyone else). For instance, I have a very small nod to one of my favorite authors in my current WIP and then decided to name a char with the initials of the author's real name (he uses a pen name). I'm so glad someone else understands my obsession with names! And YES, naming is one of the most fun parts of writing.<br />Congrats on the requests!!! I knew your mistake from earlier was just a small thing. :)Kris Atkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05580456319706723545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4058856697581528687.post-17989649658420513602012-02-03T07:47:34.893-08:002012-02-03T07:47:34.893-08:00Congratulations on the requests!
