| Re: What's In A Character's Name? Roger Rimmer? Don't set your character up with a name that can be made fun of three ways till Sunday (I was in the Marine Corps, and Drill Instructors would have a field day with that name)! Sorry to your friend Roger, I'm sure the name is very prestigious. Tarquin is an interesting name and sparks a little interest without even introducing the character. |

| Re: What's In A Character's Name? Thanks luv4writing76, Yes, it's more an instruction, than a name... It fascinates me how an English name has different connotations in different countries. In England Tarquin tends to be posh (middle to upper class) wheras in the USA you see it as interesting. This is proving to be a very useful exercise. TBO |
