Enjoy! I may update the list as I find more, or I’ll make a second list.

Just wanted to quickly share this great website with fellow writers and roleplayers, because it’s where I find names 100% of the time, hashtag blessed. 

Essentially, the homepage has a box you can type a name you like into, then you’ll be presented with lists of male, female and unisex names related it by user votes and a google-like “also searched for…” feature. There are three ways to use this website. 

01: RANDOMLY. You don’t have to type a name to begin, you can just click one and keep going until you’re satisfied.  02: BY VIBE. Writing a stereotypical high school cheerleader who feels like a Claire, but isn’t? Search Claire and you’ll get tons of names with a similar feel. This also works with time period names.  03. BY ETHNICITY / NATIONALITY. In my screenshot, you can see I was searching for a name for Avan Jogia. I don’t know about you, but I think their very first suggestion of Ketan is perfect. This can help you make sure you aren’t entirely white washing names for a lack of options on most name lists. 

Additionally, you can click the lines beside a name to add it to your favorites list (stored with cookies), so you can organize all your options as you go. Have fun!

Strong words to use on a Resume

If you have ever had to write a resume for work or for an application, then you know the hardest part is figuring out what type of words to use that sound professional and and intelligent.

Example: If an application asks you if you have any relevant experience for a job at a day care center and you have experience, like you have babysat children. You would look at the words in the columns to see what words you should use that will help your resume stand out. You might put down “Have supervised and attended to children on a regular basis.”

I hope this is helpful to you.
