Another interest of mine is names.  One of the fun things about writing is choosing names for your characters and giving them exotic names. I have numerous books of names and I consult them when I want to pick something. I often have to change names to get them  to "feel right".  I have a particular fondness for the old fashioned flower and jewel names such as Marigold, Daisy, Lily, Rose etc and for jewels names such as Amber, Diamond, Emerald, Garnet.  Or just plain unusual names such as Spring, or Moon or Silver...
However in historical romances I can't go for very unusual modern sounding names, so I will some day have to write a modern romance.  I've always wanted to call a character Boleyn, after Anne Boleyn, or Celandine after the flower.
