myrkassi:
I use a variety of methods for coming up with names - sometimes the right name just pops into my mind (though I often have to check that I'm not using the name of some celebrity that I've picked up from internet news or the telly), sometimes I look along my bookshelves and mix-and-match authors' names to create names of minor characters, and sometimes I use one of those websites for naming babies that tells you the meaning and origin of names.
Lileas, the witch from 'The Witching Hour', one of my stories, is actually named after the last person to be put on trial for witchcraft in Scotland!
Sorry, I wish there were a "thumbs up" option on comments to avoid silly little acknowledgements like this. Those are creative ways to come up with names.
You better hope that witch doesn't come back to haunt you, or your dreams! (I detest emoticons)
