Bad guy names?
My boyfriend is writing a book, but we are stumped on names for the antagonist in his novel. He is the brother of the protagonist, Daniel, who thought he was dead. So names would be great! Please and thank yous!

There doesn't need to be anything particularly interesting about his name, most people have rather uninteresting names. The protagonist of my WIP is named Patrick. In another story, my antagonist was named David. And normal names are good to realism too. They're easier to believe than Mr. Dark or Lawless. Unless, of course, you mean nickname. In which case. . .I'd have to know more about the story and character.

go to google and type in baby names and find a website with a bunch of names and pick one you like. I helps a lot.

David would be good as far as family genealogy goes (Daniel and David) however, due to symbolism, you may not want to use the good-sounding name.

(I hope this is ok...)
I need help naming someone also. I'm thinking about doing a story, and I'm stumped for a name. The character is a secret agent of sorts, yet very naive. A very sweet man who sees the good in everyone. Any suggestions?

Do you like Drake? To me, it goes with Daniel (as some parents choose names that start with the same letter) but it's not as "good" sounding.
Hope this helps!

If he's completely evil - I like to go with simple names that could be good.
Jerry, for example. That's one of my bad guys. If he's much more complicated, I like to go with more of a complicated name. Bronx, is the other bad guy in my book. I would definitely go with something memorable, though. Unique and interesting, but not over the top. Yeah, and babynames.com has a complete list.

"We will. Baby we will. We'll never stop looking, even if it takes years. First, I think we need to find Nate, and explain the situation. Come, on Sweetheart, lets go..." he said, pulling her to her feet.
She phased into a trembling, stunned mess in his arms. "I need to find them..." she muttered. Tears were streaming down her face. She clutched at Charles. "What are we going to do?"
Charles, unsure what to do, just put an arm around his wife, and wept as well. Anger and hatred built up inside him. When they found the children, he was going to tear their kidnappers throats out.
It felt like she hit a brick wall. The scent was there and then...Nothing. Gone. Completely. Pilgrim came to a shuddering stop. She searched around frantically, nose to the air, searching searching....
It was gone. They were gone.
She wasn't quite…
You idiot, she can smell you, Charles thought to Akabra. He sensed him above them.
Honey, i know you want to find them now, and i do too, just let me come with. you can't just run off. What if something happened to you? he asked, backing off.
