Hello, Jeferson

Everything Catherine said and... Check your email junk folder. I often use the names of spammers for my baddies (with a tweak here and there). They almost always come to a gory and horrible end. Sweet justice without me having to go to jail.

You know, I always create my character's name by using a randomiser! I just have a sheet full of Consonants and Vowels! I close my eyes and then run my fingers across both the sheets and then choose some letters! This results in many awkward names! :)

But if you are a bit picky with names, you can use any of the websites available!

Cheers, Catherine Roriston! Never I'd thought that about my name. Thanks so much, mates. Your suggestions really helped me.
