Name That Character... #BadIdea
It Reeks of Thirst I'm on a one-woman crusade to bring back David, Thomas, Michael, and Rory; Bettina, Louise, Susan, and Mary in Historical Romance novel Character names. As for Contemporary Romance... this is even more of a problem and wouldn't mind seeing a return of the once-popular Jason and Jennifer overload. Because I never liked my own name and didn't have a middle name to fall back on, names have always been something of a rawhide issue with me. I adore some, cringe at others, and today, through social media, names have taken on even more meaning for me. Name memories have a far greater impact on my psyche than I care to admit or even want them to do. I think most of us can agree that when we meet someone (Laura) we can't help but be thrust back in time (Jr High) to that awful bullying period that ruined your Jr High experience AND your self esteem. And, yeah, with time the wounds do heal themselves. One of my favorite movies of all time
