^So there! lol Nah, I'm kidding! By the way...I plan on typing up a LOT more of my story among other things tomorrow. I just didn't feel good today, it was so hot, and my ear was killing me. So when I got home, I went straight to bed at 4 and didn't wake up till 9.

Oh I'm sorry... :/ Hopefully your ear will get better soon.
And btw, that seems weird that you say 9, because it's only 7:30pm here, lol.

I also have a long list of names but for me rather than the meaning, the names should fit the character or the person somehow. Like for the story that I'm writing, I named the character Victoria out of the blue but the way I pictured her in my mind, she doesn't look like a Victoria. I have no idea how a Victoria should look like, but it now makes me very uncomfortable to call her with that name. Does that make sense at all?
I know I'm weird but I do this in real life too. Like once (I'm totally changing the names since they are Turkish) I kept calling a classmate Cathy when her real name was Amanda. She kept correcting my everytime but my excuse was "You don't look like an Amanda, you look like a Cathy!" I just couldn't help it but I registered her as a Cathy in my mind, for no reason at all. ;D

^ LOL! That makes sense! Actually, one of my old friends had one name, but I thought a different name fit her better, so she let me call her the other name, lol.
But yeah, I know what you mean. I do that all the time with fanfics. Like, I was writing this one story and had a name for a character, but when I went to show someone, I had to change the name (not saying why), and when I changed the name, I was thinking, "Ewe... the other name fit WAY better..." lol.

Yeah, that definitely makes sense. I don't think I could name my baby before he/she was born for just that reason. Not that you really know what a baby is going to look like when it gets older, but I just feel like I would have to SEE my baby before I decided on a name for sure. Plus, I don't want to know the sex ahead of time, so I couldn't anyway.

I picture how I want a character to look like, and I look at my list of names, and try to put thier name to the face I've pictured in my mined. I've spent 15 min at a time doing that before. I just can't seem to find the name I want at times. I'm funny when it comes to that.

That's usually the order I do it in too... I have "the look" of the character in my head, and then I figure out a name. Although sometimes I have a name I want to use, and I decide how the character will look based on that.
