Offered: Names for Fiction or Roleplaying Scenarios
Offer: Having trouble coming up with names for your fic or scenario? I love working with names, and I will research and/or create up to 100 names (for people, places, or things) according to your specifications.
Examples of the sort of specs I can follow:
- 50 male and 50 female names for a hard-boiled noire-ish detective scenario set in the 1930s in the U.S.
- 40 female, 40 male, and 20 place names for an original fantasy scenario with a medieval continental European (French/Spanish/Italian) feel
- 45 male, 45 female, and 10 place names for a Saiyuki fanfic epic
- 50 female, 40 male, and 10 place names for a Harry Potter fanfic series
- 100 generic nature-based names for an Earthsea-type fantasy scenario (to use examples from the book: things like Yarrow, Vetch, Jasper)
If desired, I can also provide you with information about my sources (for names researched) and methods (for names generated/created).
Sampling of fandoms/authors I'd feel comfortable handling (others are possible - just ask): Arthurian legend, Barry Hughart, Bleach, C.J. Cherryh, Cordwainer Smith, Diana Wynne Jones, Fruits Basket, JRR Tolkien, M.A. Foster (Ler series), Martha Wells (Ile Rien), P.C. Hodgell (Kencyrath), Patricia McKillip, Saiyuki (manga), Samurai Deeper Kyo, Sandman, Swordspoint, Tanith Lee (Flat Earth), Terry Pratchett (Discworld), Ursula K. Le Guin (Earthsea, Ekumen SF), Xxxholic, Zenna Henderson (the People)
Note: I am a name hobbyist, not a scholar, so if you’re trying to write an impeccably researched historical novel (for example), you might not want to use this service!
Contact: Initially via LJ personal message; after that, continue by e-mail if desired.
