  • opinions on a name please?

    i'm writing a story where a black vampire lore writer get accidentally turned into a vampire (ironic isnt it?) and she's described as being sweet-tempered and curious and has kinky curls and is pretty tall and has a friendly smile and hazel-brown eyes--both physically and personality-wise i guess she's kinda like Rue from Hunger Games.

    the names i'm debating are: Abigail, Sophie, Deborah, Hazel, Joriele (pronounced Joe-ree-elle), Kylie, Merci, Tabitha, Vera, Violet, Sheri and Addison (nicknamed Addy)

    please don't give me a list of names outside of the ones im suggesting because a lot of times i get a recycling of other character names. . .

  • born with two hearts?

    i'm writing a book and i was thinking if one of my characters would be born with two hearts. i had the idea because a vampire folklore website i saw said in the 1700s some presigns of vampirism was being born with two hearts but there's only ever one case i've heard of where someone actually had the condition(George Lippert). so i was wondering if anyone could tell me how COMMON it is and if it's a GOOD idea to have a vampire antagonist who's ironically described as being heartless was actually born with two hearts?

    Ps: the CAPS isn't me yelling at you guys it's just the main points i'm hoping you could answer:)
