I have recently started a new book (an entirely new world, stand alone book!). I'm having difficulty with naming some of the supporting characters....yes, sometimes it's harder than naming my own children!
It crossed my mind that perhaps some of you might enjoy helping with that. So how would you all feel about me doing some kind of contest where the winner gets to choose a name to put in the book? It could be your own or one you like, whatever (no wonky ones please! I am not a celebrity and do not enjoy completely bizarre ones!). I haven't decided what I should center the contest around. I need followers here and likes on Facebook so perhaps when I reach a certain number of those I'll put draw from everyone who got people to follow/like etc?
Any ideas? I'm dying here! :)
I'm not going to share my own, because as an author I never know which ones I might have to steal back, haha ;) But This is a great website that you might be able to use as well as the suggestions you get:

Thanks Hazel! I do have several sites I visit for names and I keep a list so when I find an interesting one I write it down. I know what you mean about keeping them to yourself. We authors tend to be a little possessive of ones we're fond of!
DeleteYou can use mine- It's fairly unique but not weird. I sure like it. I love contests :) Let me know!
