Talk:How to Create an OC/@comment-4598697-20140317222233

I have a tendency to give most of my OCs ethnic names. The first name can either relate to the parent's fairy tale (examples: Estelle Marin, whose name means "star" - the name of her mother, Princess Belle-Etoile, means "beautiful star"; and Theron Qoph, whose name means "hunter" - it relates to his father's character in Alphege, or the Green Monkey, who enjoys hunting) or be something that I just liked (examples: Orhan Sessiz, Emil Wassermond, and Salome Auge). The last name always has something to do with the fairy tale: for example, Amandine L'Isle, whose surname means "the island" (much of Princess Mayblossom takes place on an island), and Eberhard Schneider, whose surname means "tailor" in German (he's the son of The Brave Little Tailor).
