One thing that I sometimes find easy and other times hard is finding or coming up with Character names. I like to try to find unusual or made-up names that are easy to say or remember when writing.
There are some sites online that will generate names for you but are not always one that are unusual or easy to say some are very common or I've read several times before in other books.
Yesterday I was going online searching names for on my short stories I'm writing. I one of the names I came across is a name I've never seen that means wolf and my husband said if this character is supposed to be like king/prince/alpha was the last name Noble okay. Last names I'm not worried about since those tend to be common, and readers don't care to much about last names usually the first name. Another is a name I made up spelled crazy, but it works and means water. Another name is actually from a company I saw online and thought that would make a great first name.

Why do you think I'm going into acting of filming?
To better answer your question I'm an author, a writer and more importantly I'm a mom. Writing is my escape as well as others. I have to do research or think of things that others will not so that my readers don't get bored or go Oh I've read this before.

@thebos Acts don't come up with character names they are given a lives and name by either one the A scripted writer that writes the movies, normal a the person filming doesn't nor does the director they can ask for more emotion but there are some directors that are both actor, screen writer and director but that usually after many many years of experiences.
If you see above, I did write in my original post I'm writing a story. Which tells you I'm a writer and most likely working on a book.

thanks, I already have one book written and published this is my third book through faith book I'm working on. My 3rd and 4th both are part of series and book one comes out at the end of this month. They are roughly less then 300 which makes them Novels short books.
