To think, most of my character names come from a thrift store baby book!
My #1 resource is the baby name book I bought from a thrift store. It's a lifesaver! Not only does it have over 5,000 names but origins, boy and girl names, and alternate spelling. But, if you can't get a hold of a baby name book there's always...
Name Websites!
Just as good and pretty much the same thing. They have access to millions of names online! One website I find really useful;

Symbolic Names!
Often, writers give thier characters a name that has a certain meaning. For instance, one of my characters is named Roni. Which is short for Veronica. She's a very tomboyish girl. She is a witch who is suppose to save an entire kingdom of magical creatures. She is the reincarnation of one of the creators of the world.
Veronica: Truth And Purity
Caleb is another character. He is a friend of her love interest. He also gets turned into a vampire in the first book. Out of her love interest, Caleb, and thier other friend, he is pretty much the voice of reason.
Caleb: Faithful, Bold
Splure Of The Moment Names!
Sometimes writers just name a character randomly. There's nothing wrong with this. Some of the best character names come from nowhere at all.
Made-Up Names!
Sometimes writers create names themselves. This definatly gets a thumbs up on my "Kudos" meter. Mostly because you use your own imagination to make them.
Take another one of my characters. Brielle (Bree-el). A sweet, animal loving girl. I made her name up myself. For some reason, i'm positive the name will show up on a website somewhere! But for the moment, I created it myself. So let me enjoy my victory dance in peace.
Thanks for reading. I hope this helps you with naming your characters!
Right now i'm articled out! I'll publish a few more later, kay? Peace<3
of your destiny
are dreams
that still shine
in the haze
of your memories.
These dreams
are so distant
and invisible,
though your eyes
still stare into them.
Everything is so foggy
like your thoughts.
You sit alone
trying to reach that
small piece of happiness,
trying to find
a purpose of life.
Dreams that still
live in you
are smothered by
the cruel reality.
But, they still live
inside,
feeding the memories,
reviving the soul.
Dreams,
even if they are
condemned to oblivion,
live within your heart,
in hope,
in remembrance,
shining in
the haze of
your memories.
Everyone was writing it down on their calenders as alerts of it popped up on the news, internet, and in big bold letters, on a newspaper! The time has come for it to be known to mankind and liked! The movie, Brenda and Luci's Night, was premiering on that weekend, the 25th of November.Everyone wanted to see it! There had been commercials of it since August, and the stars had been anxious. Speaking of the "stars" Whose names were Hillisia Jones, and Ponya Kricketiz. They were bff's since the kindergarten, and now they were in 7th grade. They auditioned for the movie without the other knowing! They were astounded when they learned they were auditioning for the same movie. They were mad, but when Ponya got the letter she was Brenda, and Hillisia was Luci, they were overjoyed, and began screaming with cheers! Now they were in New York being filmed for the movie... wait for more!
