The most stressful part of writing for me is having to name my characters.

I'm terrible at coming up with names for my characters. To the point where I just call them something like Alex Roberts or Paul Anderson while I brainstorm. But nothing ever sounds right. And then I get so frustrated and upset because I want my character to sound good, and I just can't find a good name. <br><br>I even have a problem with naming my pets. One of my cats was nameless for the first 10 months of her life. <br><br>Just now I am trying to come up with the name of a dude who is just a friend to the main character. He's not important, he makes maybe 3 or 4 appearances in my entire story. But I'm sat here doing nothing but brainstorming names. <br><br>What do you people do. How do you come up with names so easily?
