This series is going to be a little different from the ones I've done in the past. While it's still definitely romance, the hero and heroine aren't going to find their HEA (happily ever after) in one book. It's going to take awhile. Five books, maybe?
I love this story and I'm having great fun writing it...except for one thing. The vampire hero refuses to tell me his name. I'm three-quarters of the way through the book and I still don't know what it is. I keep giving him names--fifteen so far. And he keeps shaking his head with a small, dangerous smile, and I know I haven't hit upon the right one, yet. I'm beginning to think I'm going to call him He-Who-Has-No-Name. Or Fred.
Several months ago, I asked for name suggestions. And while I couldn't reveal why at the time, they were for this vampire. I'm going to do it again. And in honor of difficult heroes, I'm giving away 5 signed copies of RAPTURE UNTAMED (the story of a pain-in-the-ass Feral Warrior) to the five people who give me names I put before the Fanged One. The names can be normal, unusual, weird, anything at all.
On another note: If you haven't heard, Avon has put the e-version of my Feral Warriors book, OBSESSION UNTAMED, on sale for $1.99 for a month. And DESIRE UNTAMED is priced at only $4.99. If you haven't tried my books, now's the time to snap a couple of them up cheap.
So, give me names. Please! This vampire is going to kill me if I name him Fred. (As will my editor.)

Actually, Frederico would be good. the heroine could call him Fred when she gets pissed off... as in.. "Look, Fred, I don't need you or your help!" but could sigh it in pleasure as he bites her neck.."Oh, Fredericoooooooo..."
rofl...

Also, congrats on the new contracts.
Drest / Drust - Pictish for riot (found this recently and absolutely fell in love with the name)
Dagger

Gabriel (okay so this is my baby boy's name)
Harlen (hubby and oldest boy's name, it's unusual and means army land)

Gypsy Howse said so i close my eyes to invision a vampire that doent know who he is and i see him with white skin blue eyes and hair that is the lenght to his shoulder with kinda of shaggy cut and he is looking lost and the name that came to mind is Tavin
Maybe Sebastian or Trace?
Gallus (ancient roman...rooster)
Cathal (strong in battle)
Paramonos (greek for endurance)
Cadeyrn (battle king)
bkwrm26(at)yahoo(dot)com
How about Jeran?
I really love the name Sylas or Sylan! Not sure what other name options have been thrown out there since my mobile web is being a total buttnugget and not letting me view previous comments! *pouty face* Good luck with presenting the Fanged One with names :D
Love the ideas! Keep them coming.
More about the vamp:
He's about 500 years old, born in a small village in Europe, though I don't know what country. That would narrow it down, wouldn't it? Once I know his name, I'll know the country. He's a bit of a charmer, quick to smile, but very, very dangerous.
I'm thinking Marcus, Dominick, Sebastian, Anton/Anthony, Greg/Gregor/Gregory (depending on where in Europe-at 500, he must have traveled), John, Francis/Frank, and Zazlow.
If not Fred, how about Frederick?
Since someone mentioned Phineas, I can't help but think of Ferb (which may be worse than Fred). :)
ironss [at] gmail [dot] com
In addition to Sylas & Sylan, I also love the name Gavriel :D
the tavin name belongs to my bff gypsy howse. She was to nervous to leave her name. But i agree Tavin is great name. She also wants to write but she over thinks stuff.
i like the names tavin and mykyle but Raymus keeps coming in my head for some reason--- Gypsy.
Nero
Lucian
classic_red_69@yahoo.com
Ugh, I've been in the same boat with my characters! I feel for you. :) I do love Silas, Marcus, and Gabriel. Good luck to you!
Sebastian, Garrick, Gareth, Zoltan, Benjamin, James, Reeve, Giancarlo, Emmanuel, Trian, Dominic
That's all I've got.
Good Luck!

Zen, Jagger, Sable, Edge, Steele, Ash ( I named one of my daughters Ashley so I can nick name her the last one) and I really like Gabriel !
Blak, Silk, Marcus, Shadow, Payne. Those names sounds mysterious to me. Intriguing. And Marcus is the normal one. Payne is the tortured angsty hero, etc., etc. :)

Well, I don´t know the background of your character, but for a vampire I kind of like the name Ares.
Ares stands for the Greek god of war who was "overwhelming, insatiable in battle, destructive, and man-slaughtering."
Well, sounds like a challenge to love that kind of man ;-)
Kieron. :D
I think everyone else has covered the others, lol.
Celtic names I can help. LOL.
Baldor - a loose variant of "Fred". Old English. Means "courageous army".
Malin - Old English, means "little strong warrior". And sounds malicious.
I really like the names Wes, Rio, Markus and Gareth.

On my post above the spacing got messed up. the only ones that belong together are the ones with the slash (/)
Sorry about that!! I was trying to not take up too much space.
good luck and I can't wait to read / devour the new books!!
Tavin, Mykyle, Aonach, Ramsey, and Kyran. Are my suggestions. I know i posted it on your comment instead of in here but for some reason it would not let me post it for a long time.
