What’s in a name?

I am NOT one of those girls who has a scrapbook of wedding plans or is already planning playdates for my future kids with friends’ future kids. I do, however, love name meanings and so, I frequent baby name websites. Whenever a project requires me to create characters, I like them to have names that reflect the attributes I picture them having. Babynames.com has a great search system. Of course, the feature I use the most is the search by meaning one. But I can also search for a certain nationality, names that start or end in a certain letter, have a certain number of syllables, and, of course, are a certain gender. If you ARE trying to name a child might I suggest some lists on the site to check out? Try out: Reality Show Name List, Gilligans Island Name List, or, the ever popular, Lord of the Rings Name List (guys, you’ll have an easier time convincing your baby mama to name your child Eowyn then ,say, Boba Fett).
