Deciding on the title of nobility for the hero of the historical romance you’re writing is pretty important. To help you out, I’ve put together this super helpful name creation method guaranteed to result in a title of nobility that fits seamlessly into your story. With this method, readers will think you spent MONTHS coming up with that title.
Step One
Make one selection from each of these lists:
List #1
- Raven
- Castle
- Hawk
- Ash
- Rhino
- Lion
- Wind
List #2
- e
- s
- y
- ing
- l or li
List #3
- ton
- ham
- wood
- ford
- don
- sward (advanced users only!)
Step Two
Combine your three choices in order:
| Raven | s | ford |
Step Three
You might actually be done at this point, but to really make that name pop, have some fun with vowels: change a random vowel to Y and/or insert an extra e somewhere, or simply remove a vowel.
IMPORTANT: If you chose an animal name from the first list, don’t skip this step.
