I might be popping in here a few times on and off as I plan my novel but I’m writing a fantasy YA and thinking of having surnames that relate to their occupations as such?
[name_f]My[/name_f] main characters dad is a fisherman and will play a big part in the story. I don’t really have a first name for him yet but any suggestions fishing-related surnames that have a fantasy feel to them?
[name_f]Happy[/name_f] for made up ones or real ones to be thrown into the mix!!
