Re: Character naming dilemma

[(Anonymous)]

Can you reverse engineer the placeholder names into the appropriate naming conventions? Like, translated surnames, Giuseppe Verdi becomes Joe Green, John Smith becomes Giovanni Ferraro, sort of thing? I do that a lot, try and find an equivalent surname in the language/culture I'm using. Or, if the naming convention is more along the lines of kennings, is there a concept related to your placeholder surname that you can use? I mean, occupation-based surnames can often just go straight across, smith, archer, cooper, etc. Things like that?

ayrt

I'd briefly thought of that last night but nothing was really clicking for me until your comment made go back through my notes just now, and I realized that the name I'd tentatively given to one of the background characters was a translated version of one of the mains' placeholder names, and that it would actually fit him a lot better. So now I just need to figure out a name for the minor character but that shouldn't be too difficult since it's not that necessary for his name to fit any certain pattern. Thank you!
