So by now, you guys all know how obsessed I am with character names. Sample of googlechat conversation with [info]everflame  this morning:

10:06 AM me: quick, I need a sexy last name
 Tess: Salazar
 me: TESS
  Not one of the three wise men.
10:07 AM Tess: Swiftburne
10:08 AM me: Tess, my friend, you and I obviously differ on the grounds of sexy.
  i'm using Devlin
 Tess: i'm just saying the names on the applications in front of me.
  :D
10:09 AM me: Cheater.
 Tess: well, i didn't know what you meant by sexy. ;)
10:10 AM me: You know. Sexy I could kill you Sexy
  The usaul.
  duh!
 Tess: i htink Salazar is sexy!
10:11 AM me: After he puts down his myrrh, he could be
 Tess: i didn't know the wise men had names
 me: Wha? Everyone knows they have names
  like
  um
  Balthazar
  and . . . um
  something else
  Melchior, Balthazar, and Gaspar
10:13 AM Which all sound like noises you make in your death throes, now that I look at them.
 Tess: I like the name Jasper too
  :p
10:14 AM me: No! No! You have been demoted to bulk rate
  for Salazar and Springbok or whatever the second one was.
 Tess: swiftburne
  swift burn? what's uncool abuot that?!?
10:15 AM me: It's cool.
  But not sexy.
  You can't call a main character Swiftburne
  He would have to hav ea first name
 Tess: ook
10:16 AM me: I am feeling the strong desire to put this conversation on LJ.
 Tess: lol
  feel free!
10:18 AM And, I've said it out loud a few times and next wedfic there will be a MC named Swiftburne. Because I think you're WRONG.
 me: Oh, you're on.
