On what people call them? Oh, yes. Seventh Sanctum named my Jaime character Gloriana Katerina. She's High Queen with a load of official names and titles. But her friends just call her Kat :D (ironically the name of Jaime's character in Eastwick).

Seventh Sanctum also named one of the characters Honor - usually a purely female name and often with a 'u' even in the USA, but for Reasons it fits the male character and now I can't imagine him being anything else. So sometimes a random suggestion from a list can stick. Other times not.

I could discuss names all day long! Then again, I think most writers could :D

What sort of criteria makes a name exotic? Uncommon, I'm guessing, but cultures foreign to English speakers? Mythological names? Creative spellings? Completely made up names? /iz curious
