Last week I asked for suggestions to name one of my side characters in book 3. Well I picked one. No, wait. I picked two. And until you read the book and meet these characters, keep in mind that the names will be fitting. lol. Wait…did I say character(s)? As in “Did she freaking pick more than one???” But of course. I picked two.
The first one, although it was a joke, goes to the magnificent author Stephanie Campbell for her (or her husbands) suggestion for Aloysius. Yep. I’m so going there!
And the second one. Oh, how I wish I could put this announcement on a billboard. This one goes to a well-deserved reader. Drumroll please……
more drumroll…………………………………………………………..
just a little bit more……………………………………………………………………………
DIMAS!!! Pronounced ”deemas” (Yay, Melissa!)
And I realize that you already won a free book, Melissa. But I’ll sign one and send it to you anyway so you can give it to someone as a gift. 
I really liked this. So much, in fact…I’m going to let you guys name the new female character as well! Suggestions??? And this character isn’t as strangely named as the other two, so even normal names will do.
i am going with the same suggestion as i had for the guy name… Greyson. i love it. I also have a friend who named her daughter Everley… who btw also has a 9 year old daughter named Sawyer
. i am praticularly drawn to names that start with G. My daughters…. Gabrielle and Giovanna (who we call gia) well…. they are my favorite G names 
Also a fan of Genevieve. This is so fun!
I read this comment before I noticed who wrote it & thought to myself, hey, my neighbor has 2 girls named Gab & Gia! LOL! Hi neighbor!
I am on my way to dinner w hubs for some seafood and i think…let me check facebook…and OMFG!!!! I WON!!! You just made me squeal in the car so loud hubs jumped!

I like Rowan.
Maybe its just me but I feel like the weird names are a bit of a “stutter” when I read. I’m always wondering if I’m pronouncing them correctly. They slow me down.
Yeah, me too. They aren’t in there much at all, though.
They just fit the situation.
Yeah, me too. They aren’t in there that much, though. They just fit.
You like Rowan for a boy or girl?

Or there is always the name Melissa. Especially if she will be hooking up and getting steamy with a hot male character.
LOL Melissa. Shawn is a pretty kick-ass name for a girl, too, if I do say so myself.
Ugh…My post got eaten. How about Phyllis. Philly for short.
Chloe? Olivia? Emma? Tabitha (yes, I have a good friend named Tabitha!)?
I HAVE THE PERFECT NAME….ARE U READY…

I’m going to go with my name- Cathlin (It’s Gaelic for Catherine)

Calliope — was looking in a baby name book a friend had, and was disappointed my well exaulted and underused name was not mentioned even in the alternatives for Helen section, but when it came to the end…the one I remembered was Calliope. Not enough people name their kids Calliope. I mean, come on. On another note, the lovely Lenore is always a great choice.
