Naming Names

[hrj]

Worked on the name-set for the novel this evening. I've got a working list that I've rung the phonological changes on, although I want to do some tweaking to adjust the look-and-feel. Next step is to start matching up names for the current characters that need them (as well as for the known characters that haven't been introduced yet). Next up is place-names, noble titles, and forms of address for all possible combinations of rank, status, and formality of addressor and addressee. Then I'll be ready to do a serious revision pass on Part I.

Names matter: good to read about someone else worrying over feel.

Names are my "thing" -- if I didn't get the names in my own fiction right, how can I pontificate about it to others?
