writethisfanficHow is today going for you?
Discussion: naming original characters. When you use original characters do you find it easy or difficult to name them?
When I use oc's I already have a rough idea of their name by the time I've written a couple of scenes with them in. I recently had to name a child oc for one of the fics I'm currently working on and it was quite difficult to come up with something suitable and I ended up using a baby name generator and it give me a unisex name that fits what I want as I haven't yet decided on the gender but I’m going to let the fandom characters tell me that part.
