i have a japanese character named hideji (he immigrated to america, so his american name is henry) and i have a norwegian character named robin. it would be really helpful if anyone could help me find last names for these characters :)
In this situation I honestly use google most of the time. Try search queries like "Common Norwegian Last Names" and the like.
FYI a good way to come up with last names is to go through a really old, And i mean REALLY OLD, and pick out the most interesting last names.
I'm guessing @"A simple writer " meant go through cemeteries–which is an AWESOME tip!! If that's not your thing, I've been spamming people with this site:
http://www.fantasynamegenerators.com/
It's got everything!! :D
thanks guys! i'll try doing that. people on this site are so helpful :D
You can try Lovelace,Liskov,Atonelli,Kare,Vala, and Acer. I can tell you more if you're interested :D
for Hideji, the name Aikari means light/brightness. Then for robin Eivind means happy warrior. Usually i just look at first names on baby name websites, it's surprisingly helpful. i found these on http://www.momjunction.com/baby-names/norwegian/
You can also use google translate to make common words in different languages to put a different spin on things, but I like name generators the best
