I was going to post this in miscelaneous, was seriously not expecting a literature category :)

Anyhow... started writing a new novel and I just realized how awful most of the character names are. If anyone has suggestions feel free to add them to the post. First names, last names whatever. Also names for cities, towns, islands, etc. All suggestions welcome!

What is the background to your novel?

Is it set in any specific time period?
Is it fantasy?
Is it set in a specific region?

Its fantasy. As for the time period, it's in a sailing era. Im absolutely terrible at summing up plots/backgrounds, but it's kind of about inquisitions to different tribal islands.

It is that which you make it to be. Yeah...thats right...

Nah, I like sailing IRL, kind of the inspiration?

No, i didn't make it to Canada. Sailed all the way across the ocean from Venice, braved pirates, scurvy, and rats, and then they were just like "oh no you don't have a port permit, go away".

those dirty canadian wankbuckets and their "port permits".

frehas, nice use of the fry meme :p i like it


as for names and stuff, i can only think of things that sound like they're from pirates of the Caribbean, which makes me think of johnny depp as a pirate, which makes me want to puncture my jugular with a rusty pipe wrench.

Okay... scrapped the sailing story after 20 pages or something.

So... been thinking of a new one lately and started to write it. Just wrote 4 pages tonight and had to cut out three. This is why you write plot graphs people. As always I could still use some names. Just slap in whatever comes to mind, places, people, plants, whatever, its all helpful.

Here's a general overview of the theme, or "details" if you will. (Oh I am so bad at summarizing). Four warring clans in a world (more or less) coated in jungle. Technology level is swords / bows that kind of stuff, with a bit of shamanic magic thrown in. The main plot focuses on a shaman and apprentice, going through to find a sword (orignionality at it's best).
