MisWiredKESo when you hear/read the name Katarina von Estevan or Julliete Hagaden, what kind of vibe do you get?

So something I like doing in stories that have multiple love interests (at least intentionally) is I love throwing one that is just there to throw everything into chaos in the name of self-interest. It just makes it fun to write scenarios.
You know, something I never considered in a fantasy world is when it comes to armor, how would a male blacksmith take the measurements of a woman? Like is it just accepted that it would happen or would there be hesitation from both sides.
I'm curious about something. Should merfolk be considered part of the beastfolk race, or their own separate race? Something I started thinking about when I sat down to think about how races interact in my story

Evander L FragosoI hate this feeling that there are simply not enough hours in a day. There's also this dreaded thought that if there were... Even more of that time would end up having to be used working hard to earn enough money to survive. #WritersBlog #WriterThoughts #AuthorThoughts #JustThoughts #WordsToTheVoid
Do you ever have a concept for a character that just refuses to let you go?
That's me with a beastkin seer who uses ghosts and wisps as a way to enhance her own shows as an idol.

Are there any names out there, male or female, that are pronounced differently between languages or even within a language? For example Caroline/Carolina.
I think I want to do a post on jealousy in fictional relationships because some of these characters pass from jealousy to toxic possessiveness.
Got this from a manga I had to stop because the "main" love interest was too much of a walking red flag for me to suspend my belief.
When it comes to characters, I believe that a character's personality carries more weight to a reader than their perceived archetype. In this post, I talk about why I believe this is.

Sometimes when I create a character, I start with a name. That name dictates personality, dress style, behavior, etc. It's honestly interesting how much a name can sum up a character's whole mood.
Also matching up a character to a name is fun in its own way.
