It’s all in the name.

Sometimes, I just have a heckuva time coming up with a name for my hero/heroine. My first ms, my heroine was named Kylie Brandt. I thought it sounded classy. So classy that the real Kylie Brandt is a many-times-published author for Harlequin. Oops.

My hero was named Jack. Jack Ryder. Who just turns out to be an actor. Oookay. So I went with Damien Ryder. Ok, good to go.

Picking a name for your hero/heroine is a challenge. A lot of you use baby name books or websites. Some just pull them out of their brains like rabbits out of a magic hat. And some of us, namely me, struggle.

So I found a few websites to help me find juuuuust the right name.
