Calling all creative minds! If you are interested in winning a $10 Amazon gift card all you have to do is find the perfect name for two of my characters!
1) I need a last name for Austin...I had Austin Rivers but it is bugging. I already have Macoy Parker and Cameryn Edwards...another cute whitey last name that looks like a first name seemed too much. But, if you think Austin Rivers is still the perfect name - you can vote on that as well.
2) I need a perfect jock-jerk name.
So, 2 gift cards up for grabs for whoever's name suggestions I use - spread the word to others who might want some free $$ and leave me your comments!!

Jerk names...I'm always fond of Richard and variations on it...;)
ReplyDeleteI'm not so keen on Austin Rivers either. Where is your novel set? Sometimes I go through a local phone book (real or online) when I'm stuck for last names.
BTW, I blogged about your contest. Here's hoping you get lots of comments.
If I am going that route I should name him Enos....
ReplyDeleteHiya! Kaylie sent me on over. :) Austin is such a lovely classical name. I had an uncle with the name Austin, and I love naming characters!
ReplyDeleteHave you thought about something like Rathwell, Turlington, Reynolds, or Jennings. Give him an English sounding name. Ivy league, *hep-hep* jock jerk with the tied sweater and tennis racket?
Or, you can go a little more modern European. Austin Bron. Austin Mordoch. Austin Richelieu. He's got a little bit of old world in him, be it German, Dutch, or French.
What is the time period in your novel, and from where does yon Austin hail?
I can't believe my comment didn't show up! Register me for Austen Bennett. And Troy Da Luca for your evil jock. It was fun seeing you last night!

jock jerk name....kevin miller. :)
It seems like every jock-jerk I knew in high school was named Cody, Josh or Justin. At least, those are the ones I remember. Probably because those are the ones I thought were cute, even if they were jerks.
ReplyDeleteAs for Austin's last name, I checked a list of the most popular surnames in the US and randomly selected #100 - Fisher.
I loved your Eclipse post. Well said. Here are some jerk jock names ideas for you...
