What’s in a Name?

Hi, everyone! This is my first real blog. I have one on LJ but I rarely update it. I’m determined to keep this one current. I’ll probably update this once or twice a week.

As my bio states, I’m working on a book right now. I believe every name in it should have a meaning behind it. For me it adds to the overall character development and story, even if the reader doesn’t have firsthand knowledge of it. We all know J.K. Rowling’s character names have a lot of meaning. I want to use this blog to delve into the meanings more closely and see how they relate to each particular character.

I’m sure a lot of you have researched HP name meanings before. You may get bored reading this. Who knows? I have researched them a little previously, along with my own character’s names. Not much, though. I’m hoping to learn something along with you guys. So, I hope you enjoy this blog and learn something new. 🙂
