Prowling for a fresh character name?

Whether you're writing an historical novel or need a modern name with a twist, this week's list will go down in your name collection. They're a sampling of the best from my favorite cateogry - English. You can smell smoke and pine and roasting meats with these names. Take a look below to see what I mean.

Male
Rexley
Archer
Fuller

Female
Twyla
Cwen
Brande

What fiction writer doesn't need a good stock of first and last names? You must have some of your own. Send 1-6 of your faves and I'll share them in a future entry. Categorize them (like this entry) or randomize them, it's up to you. But do tell me why you picked them or even how you've used them before. And feel free to include how you choose character names and tips you have for other writers.
