Favourite names for spankees

It's said that if you want a suitably upper-class-sounding name for your baby (or character), you should imagine it with 'King' or 'Queen' in front of it - King Stephen or Queen Alison sound plausible, King Dwayne or Queen Traci just sound ridiculous...

It's also suggested that you try out the name in a few significant sentences - 'I love you, (Name)' - 'I think (Name) is ready for promotion' - 'Vote for (Name) in the next election' - that sort of thing; in our case the significant sentences might include 'Bend over the desk, (Name)! - 'You've been naughty, (Name)' or '(Name), I told you to get those panties down, now!'

I f you're looking for random name generators, try some of the role-playing games websites - there are several that offer not only character names, but random names for towns, businesses, geographical features such as hills or rivers and so on.

I haven't tried that, but it is a good idea, as well as reading aloud. I have changed several names of characters because they just didn't work when I got to certain passages, but I generally have an idea of their names before I begin. At least characters aren't stuck with their names, like babies are.

True - it would avoid some disasters - I heard of a Mrs Peacock looking for a name for her newly-born son. She asked the doctor his first name, and he repied "Andrew". Later she decided that Andrew was a bit too long, shortened it and so her son was christened - Drew Peacock!

Well, to me coming up with names (first and last) is part of the fun in writing a story.

Since these spanking-oriented accounts aren't going to be published as 'serious' fiction, I like to fool around with names, like having all the characters' last names (Gondor, Rivendell, Shire, etc.) be locations in Middle Earth (The Lord of the Rings), or making the characters' combined names into slight variations of those found in The Hunger Games.

As for the popularity of particular first names within a given time period, there can always be exceptions to the general tendencies.

In a story wherein a fifteen-year-old girl has the authority to paddle her seventeen-year-old boyfriend's bare behind more or less as she sees fit, I'm not going to worry too much about 'loss of credibility' due to her name being unusual for a particular era... --C.K.

Good advice. As a beginning author I've tried to fit the name to my spankee's character. Usually I write the first name that comes to me, then go back later when I'm better satisfied with how her history unfolds in my mind. I'm a "pantser."

I tend in the direction of names with meaning in the language, such as: Faith, Charity, Clarity, Merry, Prudence or Equanimity.

For aristocratic names, and I've written nothing that needs an aristo, I use blue-blood Boston names: Thatcher, Makepeace, Cabot, Lodge, Forbes, Wigglesworth, etc. Actually, I do use those names for snotty or stuck-up spankees.

Yes, going back to change a name is easy with 'find-replace' options, though not without risk; I heard of a romance novelist who, at the last moment before sending her novel to the publisher, decided to change her male lead's name from 'Paul' to 'Jeff' - which had an unintended effect on the marriage scene, set in St Paul's Cathedral!

At one point I kept a list of names I used, and found rather too many Sarahs and Julies. Some names just seem to fit certain types of characters - maybe you met someone or saw them on the TV, or read about them in a book and from then on that name becomes associated with that character type, long after you've forgotten where you first heard the name.

For instance, for me the name 'Brenda' conjures up the picture of a rather stocky girl with short dark hair and a bossy 'take-charge' manner - and I've no idea why!

It's interesting how we see particular names, because I too, like Myrkassi, see Brenda as having a bossy take charge manner, and my Brenda is also a brunette, only mine has thick, long wavy hair and is not stocky. That Brenda sounds rather like Stockard Channing's portrayal of Rizzo in Grease.

I'm afraid that I am rather lazy. Unless I have a really good reason to choose something else I call my male (spankers) George and their spankee Amanda (or Mandy, if George is being tender).

Saves a lot of hassle but readers do need to understand that just because they have the same names they are not necessarily the same characters across different stories.

Recently, I got into the old Wonder Woman TV Series. I especially like the ones where she and the Army are fighting Nazi spies and instigators. Lynda is a name I have used lately in new stories. Besides that tight leotard and short skirt, she always wore led to star spangled fantasies.

I actually knew an Andrew Peacock and did delight in calling him Drew.
