Day’s Verse:
Love never fails; but if there are gifts of prophecy, they will be done away; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be done away.
1 Cor. 13:8

I just thought of this in the shower. If you were making up names for characters in a Danelle Steel-esque romance novel, what names would you give to your leading man and woman?
My ideas:
Women:
Vivian LaGrande
McKenzy Slatton
Carolyn L’Dove
Men:
Buick McMahon
Karl Farland
Antoine Delacroix
Maybe, if I get enough good suggestions, I’ll write a brief serial here incorporating the best names.
Brent Beefchest
Big McLarge Huge
Bob Johnson
For a man:
Dash Hardy
(Miriam contributes Dash and Dot Tiddle as a family)
Kieran McNeil
And of course, Randall Richard Weston (or just Randall Richard; think about nicknames)
For a woman:
Arabella Tonorique (don’t ask me what Tonorique means)
Rose De La Fleur
Ima Floozy, Harlot, or Strumpyt
By the way: were your questions as of Monday serious considerations, or merely hypothetical musings?
Hmmm, I have always pondered writing a Romance Novel… a bit of a satire with LOTS and LOTS of adjectives. I hadn’t thought about character names, but I had come up with my own Pen-name I’d use if I wrote some:
Benjamin Paris
I also have a pen name for paperback thrillers as well: Ben Fox. (That way they could print it really well on the page… 3 and 3 and all)
As for characters… lets see… Cassius is a good latin/ powerful sounding name.
Oooo, how about Ferox MacConner?
This is fun… some names I have always associated with some good “romance” female names: Heather (go heavy on the H when you say it aloud…), Rose…
I’ve always been somewhat partial to classic greek lit for female names: Athena, Antigone… classic.

Wasn’t Cassius the bad guy in Julius Caesar? (Ian says that sounds like a Shakespeare character.)
Cassius was a Roman poet.
