For the competition.












Firstly!! I'd like to thank everyone for entering! It was a hard time choosing, hence the couple of days wait. A lot of the names were lovely and I don't like disappointing people's hopes, but I do have to choose.
Anyway! Hugs and cookies to all who entered:

I chose these names because of their simplicity and lovely sound they make upon pronunciation. Because the main character of the story is naiive, young, but with a lot of passion, I thought 'retty' names would be more suitable. (-I don't like the word 'retty' but I cannot think of another way to describe it at the moment. ) I prefer characters that are wise or noble to have lovely, long flowing names. Anyway...


***THE WINNERS ARE:*** -I hope I pronouce them right.

*IN FIRST PLACE: , with Akayla (Ah-Kay-La).

I thought this name had a lovely ring to it and I liked the idea that it could be shortened to a nickname of Akay, (Ah-Kay).
I also liked the name Akayla as it is short and rather simple to pronouce. I like to imagine my characters holding conversations and calling over distances to each other. A long complex name would be a little awkard.


*IN SECOND PLACE: , with Mela (Meh-La).
This caught my eye because, again it was simple and sounded lovely.


*IN THIRD PLACE(S): with Elajin (e-La-jin) and with Lintu (Lin-Two). I couldn't decide between these two. I thought they were rather unusual, I rather liked them.

I'm going to keep the long.... sheet of names and I would like to name some characters by them. -If that's okay?

If the winner could submit what I'd like them to draw, that would be great!!

Thank you again!!!
