    ...I don't know how to interestingly name characters. I've never had to do it before. Is "Sarah Inglewood" an interesting name??

      @mrmattimation it sounds like a real name, that's a good thing. I wrote a story when I was 12 where the main character was named Zane Masters so you could do a lot worse

        @rarity What are your thoughts on all the stuff I just said? Am I betraying my beliefs or getting soft or a lost cause or what?

          @mrmattimation As you mature as a person so do you mature as an artist. If you want to stop drawing stereotypes, I see that a plus is basically every situation. Jokes that boil down to "lol this girl dresses skimpily and will suck you off for a Big Mac" or whatever are basic, boring, and offensive. TBH the further you get from Seth McFarlane the better

      @mrmattimation It has to make sense for the context, and be recognizable. That'd be a good name in a story set in some town in usa, but would be ridiculous in one set in say, brasil. It'd make sense in egypt or india for example, but only if there aren't many people with similar names and the character stands out as foreign.

        @nerthos Well it takes place in a city based on my hometown, so that's good I guess.
