...Ponderings...

My thoughts on life, love, family, friends, God, and NaNoWriMo.

So its not like you’re really going to gain much from this but I haven’t been able to choose a name for the faerie girl who plays the main character in my new novel that I’ll begin writing on November 1st at midnight. So I’m going to ask all my readers for help!

Here’s a small description of her:

She had blue eyes that shone like sapphires and shimmering locks of corn-silk hair. There was a constant look of sadness and fear in her eyes.

As you can see, its not much but it is a small description of my faerie. She has a little boy named Bramble who’s a very special little faerie and she has to keep him in hiding so that no one will find out about him, which explains the fear and sadness in her eyes.

So here’s what I’m going to do. Leave your your name ideas in the comment form. Try to make it something earthy but not obviously a faerie name. I want it to be special and beautiful. In two weeks, on October 18th, I’ll take my favorite names and put it to a vote. The poll will close on October 31st. If I like the name that the majority has chosen, I’ll (tentatively) name my faerie whatever it is that you have all come up with. Sometimes, in the middle of a story, a name decides that it just doesn’t fit the character so there is a chance I’ll end up changing it, although its small.

If, however, I do decide to keep the name, whoever came up with it will get an acknowledgement in my novel. I think that is fair enough.

Here is a picture of a doll that I made which is as close as I could get in my imagination of her:
