It's much the same reason why I put no weights on the bios of my characters. I couldn't tell you how much one of them weighed if my life depended on it because I honestly have no reference to go off. I'd need some kind of visual scale chart, like a bust chart, in order to figure such things out. I've only recently begun to be able to calculated breast sizes by sight, and still I'm not more than 70% sure of anything. |
all it takes to create a more "3D" character is a little research, you don't have to go mad on background material, but it does make the character more believable. Chose what the characters profession is and their country of origin and then a little light reading at the library or Wiki-pedia    and you can create a plausible background.

Any more names for consideration?
No one has suggested possible attires, either.

((Silvador,
What sort of name were you hunting for? "Alien"-sounding? Exotic? Common in the 1890s? Artsy? Regional? Ethnic? Related to her profession or family profession?
What about Challice Vintner?)) |

ooo, Challice sounds nice.
As for the kinds of names...
I tend to lean more towards the old style, more exotic names.
Think along the lines of Avarice, Drusilla, Charity, Carmen... I could think of more examples but I'm not yet awake enough. Btw, none of those will be in the pool.

The time has finally arrived. The newest lady in BonBon will be now named. There was a nice collection of names put forth to choose from. Many of them were very nice. But only one could be chosen.
During the time that names were being submitted for consideration, I also gave thought to the matter, trying to think of names as well. After reading back through this thread and picking out names for final comparison, I have finally settled on one. One that at no point ever crossed my mind. And one I am rather fond of.
Though this name is not chosen from any of the names suggested, that does not mean there isn't a winner.
TheBashfulFeline, inspiration spawns, at times, from the most unlikely of places. And this is one of those times.

If that's true my twin tailed character Beibhinn is very flattered. |
Dwah..? |
Inspired by Bashful's simple comment "Dwah..?", I hereby name my new character "Dweia". Bashful, by inspiring this name to came racing to mind when reading you post minutes ago, you have earned the right of "First Dibs".
As lovely as the dresses Tearlach suggested, second place must go to HoshiGiniro. The dress she suggested is just too desirable not to turn down. Congratulations on receiving "Second Dibs".
And to whom can tell me from where I got my Snow Leopard's new name will go third place; that being "Third Dibs". And no cheating by Googling, either.

Wolf, unless you know where the name comes from (without googling it), no hint is going to help you.

Wait... Dweia, why does that sound familiar? I have a feeling it's from a book. Grrr, which one! I know I have it! *rifles through tons of books trying to find possible source for name*

*shrugs* Oh well. I can't find the book. If that's even what your source was, I don't know it.
