Finding names is hard

I know, lol

I just borrow names from people I've met

and combine them with last names from different people

Yeah, can't really do that for fantasy names lol

Still has to match

The style of what I'm writing

Like my main character has an amazingly dumb name

"Jackson"

Reason

He's the son of Jack

I feel that

I use random generators sometimes and other times, I find a name I find attractive

*Alright, Kyle no.7, go meet Natalie no. 5*

Or I find a name that makes me think of something I like. Margo is one of my recent characters that I haven't decided much about aside from her name ~~it sounds like mango~~

this made me internally laugh

othertimes, I find a name that means something
~~unlike my parents~~

Haha, that’s great

Last names are important to get down on how the family got it. Even if it's random, still have a reason. First names are a little more up in the air though.

Honestly, last name are the worst

Cause last names also have a meaning to them

Like a clan

Or a profession

if they're from America, decide whether they are an immigrant family or not. Ellis Island allowed for name changes way back in the day

Yeah I should of been specific, at least for medieval they have a meaning

Or colonial they are also a profession or of a lineage
