Letter Bias

[TheEldritchGod]

My preferred letter is [echoing laughter mixed with the sound of an entire marching band trying to play the score of Chariots of Fire put into a cement mixer truck and cranked up to frappé]

J is nice too.

Mine is E as well, "El" more specifically.

I sometimes give them names like "Elara", "Elie", "Elustria", etc. all the time until I noticed almost all of the names in my story starts with "El". I've since changed them all during editing so there's no "El" in sight in my story... I think.

It is easy to see the good in people when I have seen the bad in myself.

Which organ contains Good? I'm asking for a friend.

Liver

Liver

(?) I would argue the heart, since that pumps the blood.

Is there a letter that you are biased towards when naming characters? I find myself biased towards the letter E. What I mean is that most of my protagonists will have a name that starts with E. Does letter bias plague your names?

I mean, that make sense for you. Just remove the last couple of letters and, Hello, RepresentingE.

But for me.... hmmm. Not sure, I've done a few short stories and longer concepts, and they usually all have very different names.

Twice I purposely done similar names, I used ell for a few characters. And I've used Ern a few times to end some names, mostly because the first success prototype I wrote had the main character's name end with it, so I like to reference it.

This great (and a little tipsy) witch still believes it's liver

RepresentingE is my rap name. How did you find that out?

Just don't do anything I wouldn't do! Actually there are probably things on that list you also shouldn't do!

Throwing a diss track against the Sun when?

Name a few, just to be sure TenderHuman doesn't do them

That's a good idea! Just don't cringe when I drop the mixtape.

My bias is anything but normal everyday names. You'll never see a "Kevin" or "Samantha" as a main character in my novels.

On the other hand I also created someone with the name Jacob Arseman....

@ElliePorter

Huh

 

[J_Chemist]

I have this issue where I roll my face on the keyboard and whatever pops up, I try to pronounce as a name. Even when it's gibberish.

That's my toxic naming trait.

Nah I do that too, I just smash my keyboard for a minute and try to find a name. It isn't uncommon.

Like this:
Gsisksvsyqoacidkfvdyaisvwoebeskosvwywoscrosoevamsifofvegaisosvsusosbsgsoabqjakspdbdnsosysvsoshqhsosdhfsajpfawiustkrdvednlpaleeh

I got Qoacid, Woebesk, Woscro, Vamsif, Vegais, Jak, Vsosh, Wiust.

With some polishing, they can be names for characters.

Liver

So, if one was to try and harvest good, one should get both the heart and liver, just to cover your bases?

Sure, buddy. Explain how you're going to make Jak into a name that doesn't sound like incoherent garbage.

Am I the only one who overthinks names and they always have to have meanings?
