You still get the final say. Listen to opinions and get your answers from those opinions, that is your job.

I use this site a lot: http://www.behindthename.com/ I'm writing a detective thing (sorta) and his name is Oscar, well Oscar means deer-lover in Gaelic so sometime Detective Oscar is going to be drunk and pick on himself saying, "bla bla bla im a deer blanker." That's why I picked that name.

Heheh.
As for my new story, the character's name is Amelia. No idea where it came from, but it just did, and it stuck. Maybe because I started reading things by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes *shrug* Also, her last name is Nallbrooke--also random.
But then I thought about it; "Amelia" and "Amelia"? "Brook" and "water"? Maybe I subconciously took her name... xd Seriously, it wasn't on purpose.

Subliminal clues in names are fun. Priestist, for instance, means weather or something if you changed the ending a bit. That is a clue, belive it or not. Then Cinel has a huge clue of what part he is going to play in the story, but I didn't realise that it was a clue until after I had made his part and his name. Anybody ever do anything like that?

I don't think so, well, not really. Maybe a little in that fantasy story I was writing... "Estrel" can easily become "estralla", which means star in Spanish. She was mysterious and kind, and would, if I finished the story, end up a bit of a hero. So, in a way, she is a bit like a star, lighting the way for the chacters < xd

Hate to say, but that was pretty cheesy. Yum.
Well, my dad says I "subliminally notice patterns and crate patterns." Two good things came out of this: I took advantage of an ability I had and my vocabulary was increased!

English vocabluary is hard: everything comes from a hundred different langauges. Pronunciation and spelling are a nightmare for me. However, I can use science terms before I hear them in books. They all come from Latin and Greek.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I usually pick up vocabulary from writing, so I end up mispronouncing things. My dad made fun of me for saying "suffice" wrong.. I think I'm pretty good at spelling though.
