Follow Friday is a weekly meme hosted by Rachel of Parajunkee and Alison of Alison Can Read!
Q: I like unique names for characters and am looking forward to coming up with some when I start writing. What's the most unique character name you've come across?
A: This is a really hard question. The first issue being, I read a lot of books and can't recall off hand all the names, the second issue is that I read a lot of paranormal and fantasy books. These always seem to have strange names. I did just get done reading Ready Player One by Ernest Cline and one of the characters name was Aech, pronounced like the letter H. I thought that was unique and kinda cool.
What about you?
That is a cool name! I like it. Old following visiting back! I'm already following GFC, Twitter, and facebook but I also am now following on Linky. I sadly am at my limit for Networked Blogs so I can't follow that way anymore lol
ReplyDeleteThanks for switching to linky. I am worried about GFC going away and losing some of my followers.
DeleteGood answer! I really like that name:)

I listened to the audiobook of Ready Player One (EXCELLENT in case you were wondering) so I had no idea how to spell half the names but especially Aech. When I first saw it spelled in a review I was like OHHHHH.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe there is another individual out there who has nearly my same name! Jenn Renee? My name is Jenna Renee! Small world! Thanks for stopping by from Friday Follow! :)
ReplyDeleteI hardly ever see another Renee spelled this way. so cool!
DeleteThat IS cool. I'd never thought about the spelling of a letter as a name. O__O I wonder what I can come up with. Very interesting! New follower!
