I love selecting names, but since I write in the middle to late 1800's in this part of Texas, my names are fairly easy. But when I do backgrounds/profiles for each character it really helps if someone came from Ireland that their last name ends in a :"Mc" ... auh, like McNeal!

I reread my story and since it'd been a while and also short, but I enjoyed it all over again. Now I have to work on your name because I also say Share-y, so I'll try better!

For historicals, I often go to the website that lists names popular in each year throughout history. It's also listed by country. Even though the UK and the US seem so much alike, the names each culture likes can be very different. For instance, not too many Sarah J.

Names have always fascinated me because I have such a weird one--my first name is actually pronounced with a "hard" CH sound--like CHAIR-yl--not SHARE-yl. My middle name is Kathlyn--not Kathryn or Kathleen. And now that I'm married--my last name is Pierson--not Person and not Pearson. LOL It's a Cheryl Piersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18116526340220274282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8927727476793944291.post-5707271527130597352015-01-06T13:27:24.986-06:002015-01-06T13:27:24.986-06:00Hi Barbara.

I put the year on it and every year since ... she should graduate in 3.5 years but one never knows when they are going into the medical field. I will say that there is nothing better to replace candy hearts than flowers and chocolate!

I remember handing the ones with sayings like, "I Love You," to that special boy or "Be Mine Valentine." Such simple great fun back in the day. Of course when I started getting flowers and a heart shaped box of chocolates, that kind of took the place of the candy shaped hearts.
