I’m wondering, so I thought I’d take a poll:

How do you pick a name?

Picking character names is just about my favorite thing. I like to read through lists until I find that one that screams “THAT’S ME! I’m the person you’re writing about!”.

What about you? How do you do it?

And if you don’t write, how did you pick names for your kids and/or pets?

I’ll tell you about my poor cats some other time [I don’t know if I want my hubby naming the kids…our cat is called Bucket – eek!]
