Names are fun!

My current WIP has a mirror-spirit named Fred, who’s an adviser of sorts. I looked up the meaning of Fred, and got “Diminutive of Frederick or Alfred.” I looked up Alfred, and got:
Alfred
English: from Old English, composed of the elements ælf elf, supernatural being + ræd counsel.

See, you must have an instinct for this sort of thing.

I'm terrible at names. Everyone pretty much is named "Sue" or "Tom." :D

Such coincidence is synchronicity. You come up with something meaningful exactly when you need it.
