Help[Opinions] Re: Real Surnames that sounds like RPG character surnames
in reply to a message by batsqueak
Ooh, I got one for ya: a guy who worked in HR at one of my jobs had the surname Ghostkeeper. Amazing, right?? It was definitely his real, legal family name because he was pretty disgruntled about my delight over it.
Ravenscroft and Wintermute are amazing. So Gothic. Lightcap and Whispell are adorable!
I saved a few surnames from a job I had working in some archives, maybe you'll enjoy these:
Rosecorner
Withernow
Solar
Rumbelow
Goodenough
Silvertooth
Whimbrel

Snatching Rosecorner and Rumbelow for my whimsical/fantasy surname collection, thank you very much.
Goodenough definitely has a story attached to it, I wish I knew what it was!

I love it! Ghostkeeper would have been really great for a necromancer character of mine but I've already well settled on Smythe (think of her folks like the Addams family, hence the spelling). Just something about names that are word combos being the go-to for a lot of fantasy writers really helps this feeling.
