This has to do with TG, I swears. Or something...SO I have to read Midsummer Night's Dream by Shakespeare and suddenly I see Peter's name! Like the whole thing! Look: First, good Peter Quince, say what the play treats onI pretty much jumped with excitement, and with that I thought about random ways that we come upon our characters names. I know

I used to do that all the time. Especially when I see a certain pb of either mine or someone else's, then I'll start to compare personalities. It happens a lot when I just listen to music too. I'll hear a song and immediately think of a character or a couple or whatever.

Oh my gosh, me too!! <3

Especially with Gwen for awhile!! *yay Lucy Griffiths!* And after the last episode of Robin Hood on BBC!! *cries*

[lucern_mac]

This isn't really weird or funny, but it is relevant since others seem to be talking about their characters' namesakes

[peterquince]

Aww Octavian. Gotta love those Roman...Ceasars? >.>

HAHAHAHA I was like WHAT? LUCERN IS LOYAL TO ROBIN HOOD?!?! WTF MATE? But then I saw you said the Sheriff I was like ok, I get it now. :)

[kazuki_takurai]

Hmmmm, with my characters it's rather difficult, lol!! Although, there was a Japanese TV series, and a character was named Kazuki in it, and they even called him Kazu! I found that amusing. :D

[sarahgonecrazy]

Haha that's awesome! Yeah, it is difficult, but just those little times are amusing enough right? XD

Seriously!

Though, now that everyone's posting how they came up with their charrie's names and stuff, I feel kind of bad... I don't really have anything cool going for my characters! xDD Well..

Chen means 'morning' in Mandarin Chinese (thought that was kind of cool), and it can also be a girl's name, haha. I'd had him in my head for a very long time (even his ribbon fetish!), though he was manifested through a couple of characters I'd had in other RPs.

Kazuki stems from one of my favorite Japanese names 'Kazuma' which means 'strong warrior' in Japanese. A strong facet of his character (particularly motorcycles) came from a character from one a Taiwanese drama. There's a random fun fact for the day!

Um. Nothing cool about Edward, unfortunately. xDD I love the German word for 'lady' which is 'fraulein', if that counts for anything, haha.

And Li. I love the androgynous name thingy, and Li suited her perfectly! Her full name, Qi-Ling was just a name I found pretty, lol. Nothing symbolic, sadly!

[hih_dumbledore]

LOL that's awesome

[peterquince]

It was. Though then I remembered that someone else came up with his name...and that's probably where they got it from...so now I just kinda feel stupid. lol

[herr_edward]

Laertes is so fabulous!! <33 My sister always made fun of me for liking Laertes the best out of him and Hamlet and everyone else.

And boo to Fortinbras...

[hih_dumbledore]

Boooo Fortinbras! Yaaaay beeeer!

I actually remember reading a brochure or something I got in the post a few months back and a name on the thing said Andrew Fraser, and I was like 'ANDY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY JUNK MAIL?' And also, there was an Aussie Prime Minister called Malcolm Fraser, which is where I got the idea for Andy's middle name (I had already decided on Frazer as the surname though).

I got Aleesha's surname (Montgomery) because I happened to be watching the Simpsons at the same time I was writing her app. So essentially, Al is names after Mr Burns :D

Both not as cool as being in Shakespeare though!

[peterquince]

HAHA OH GOD! That's insane! Talk about insane!!

Al is Mr. Burns? Whoa!

Psh, those are SUPER COOL!!

[inanutshell10]

ho hummm... I don't now if I really have any interesting name stories
