All in the Name...

Some may question why I actually name each individual miniature...and no, I am not into the role playing aspect of miniatures.  A name gives "character", and will possibly dictate a paint scheme.  You have to admit that there is a difference between just "Bob Smith" and "Pierce Rothchild" (no offense to the Bob's or the Smith's intended).  But when you hear each name, you do conjure up an idea of what one may look or act like.  For example, "Jebediah" may get "grays and browns" where "Alexander" may get "reds and purples".

Anyway, some names I create, but most come from several random name generators that I have found on the internet.  Once I've identified a miniature that I wish to paint, they are assigned a name before I start.
