I have a number of teaser stories written to promote my draft Boudica and The Butcher. For fun, I decided to try name the male characters, who were all soldiers, after weapons. So, I asked three different AIs for a list of potential character names.
In the below table, I identify which AI listed each name. In addition, I noted for myself whether that name had already been used in one of those teaser stories.
I really liked analyzing the results side by side.
Prompt: For a novel I am writing. There is a squad of military scouts. I would like to name each character with a male name that is also associated with a weapon, for example Colt and Barrett. Please provide a list of potential names for those criteria.
