Do these character names sound alright?
I'm working on a book right now, and I wanted to know if you all thought these character names sound good, as far as their phonetic flow and the image they conjure of the character.
The book is a fantasy parody, so the names aren't "normal"; if some of them sound absurd, ridiculous, and idiotic, it's because they're supposed to. The names are below:
Septimus Octavian Nines (Tim for short)
Salem Yorik Garm
Snookeroo Elias Garm (Snook for short)
Heather Hather
Beulah Phott
Nancy Krimlin Crummies
Smithe Sommers
Silas Algernon Longue
Dr. Rigel Jones
Col. Sinclair Richards (nicknamed Leggy)
Altor Calchas
Sgt. Iago Insurgo King
Magna Carta King (Maggie for short)
Nathan Faust Moore (Nate for short)
Linnea Hadgebak
Junius Kraken
Virgil Grimshaw
(Note: the characters with the long names are the ones that have middle names; the second name is rarely mentioned.)
All input is welcome. Thanks, everyone!
