As a stress reliever, and also to have a little fun, I'm going to use different name generators to create character names. Then, I'm going to give them a three sentence life story (for the most part). This is going to be interesting, so buckle up and enjoy the ride because I'm letting my imagination run wild.
Fantasy Name Generator - Issp
Everyone in his family has a strong lisp. Obviously his destiny is to slay a dragon and rescue a beautiful princess and live happily ever after. The catch: the princess eloped with the dragon in the first place and Issp has to win her heart.
Super Hero Name Generator - Second Arrow
Because the first one wasn't enough.
Super Villain Name Generator- Knitemare
This fiend appears in your nightmares with his needles in hand to...knit you a sweater. He has a strong infatuation with knitting and dreams. He also thinks he's pretty good with puns (he's not).
Royal Name Generator - Benedict Digby
Has heard Benedict Cumberpatch jokes his entire life. Always wanted to be a singer but he's tone deaf. Seriously, he's really done with the Cumberpatch jokes, guys, especially the sex ones.
Hipster Name Generator - Selby Coughlin
Runs a coffee rating blog. Listens to all of her music on vinyl. When describing her wardrobe, she gives a one word answer: plaid.
Animal Species Name Generator - Elegant Dog
This dog walks with its dew claw up. Scratch that, this dog prances, it doesn't walk. It also takes breath mints.
PopStar Name Generator - Tiffany Rose
Has short term memory loss and forgets her lyrics as she writes them and performs on stage. Needless to say her career has been a little rough. She's got some high pipes on her, and whenever she forgets a lyric she sounds like a screeching pterodactyl.
I could do this all day with so many different generators, but I think you get the idea. They can be ridiculous. They're fun to play with, though. And some of the more serious generators are really a writer's best friend when they're creating characters.
Issp, Second Arrow, Knitemare, Benedict Digby, Selby Coughlin, Elegant Dog and Tiffany Rose.
Maybe I'll use these names someday, but probably not.
