Names for Characters

Because I'm not a writer, usually the story and names are given to me. My only task is to transpose it to paper and ink. At times the names become so redundant instead of inspiring I seek to add my own flavor to the story which doesn't seem to antagonize those, whoever they are where the tales come from. Doing name searches on the net when a foreign name is needed helps. If it's a U.S. name I make a pass through the cemeteries taking note of the names and dates on headstones. It's unique as the names change from the older parts to the latest additions. Some of the names are timeless, some are part of a short part of history. Mabel and Abner would be period names. Edward and Sarah are some of those lasting through time. Starlie and Neely, male names, are among the unique ones.

Take a little time to visit a cemetery even if you don't need to search for names. Those people are a part of our past no matter who you are or what surname you were given. I'm blessed as a Hinze 57 mongrel, no matter what nationality or race, English, German, Irish, Scottish, French, American Indian, etc. I'm carrying some of their DNA. Have I done all I could to make the world a little better for those who follow as so many of them who passed before me? Disliking or hating all those who aren't like me, think like I do, or believe as I believe would be a momentous task, since I'm carrying everyone's DNA. Who would that be?
This big blue spaceship we call earth hurling through time and space is the only home any of us mortals have. Hating anyone is a black abyss in one's soul. Dislike or not agree all one wishes but don't let it grow into hate. It eats away and destroys the good inside that person the same way revenge does. Time will come when everyone hates and turns on everyone else. No one has to be a part of that yet.
