So, there are eighty-one names here, not all of them to be used for boys. Rhia had eighty-five boys, four of which have already been named, so I might have to find a few more, unless I use the multiple variations of Dragon and Raven. I'll deal with the girls names later. Yes, believe it or not, I will be putting each of these names on index cards, then creating each of the kids' unique character, including sketches, a writing sample or two to develop their personality, etc. Should be fun... I'll get back to everyone later about which boy was born when, and where in the order, etc.
As you can see, Rhia's (I've) got a thing for odd names, once you don't hear every day, or just less-common spellings of certain names. I will try to match the meaning of the name with the character's personality, to possibly inspire plot lines for another book that features them and what not. If you've got a name you like that isn't ordinary and sounds catchy, post it, let me know, and I may just use it.
