    Default Have you ever seen Your full name in a Novel?

    I read most if not near all of Stephen Kings books, but I was so suprised when I read Rose Madder and saw my name, made me wonder where do people (authors) get the names of Characters. I know I'm not the only one with the name Consuelo Delgado but how about you, ever find your name in a novel You really enjoyed?

    Not together, in one place...last name here....first name, there. I was walking around Gainesville, Florida once, and saw the name Ten Eyck...that last is likely spelled wrong, but it is a name in Thomas Wolfe's...either, You can't go home again, or Look Homeward Angel...thought it strange...how likely a name like that? There was a dentist in Gainesville...has his thingy on the door...

    but then, I could tell you stories about the time I'm hooked up to the IV...selling blood plasma...this, before the new tech came along...and the nurse comes running over....that fellow over there is named OOMPA Loompa too! Great! All those little hiv's already in there and that noise and so on....!!!

    No, But there are only a few Kelly Muccino's in the US. Not a common combo. One of the only other Kelly Muccino's grew up in the next town over from me.
    But if I were to find it in a SK book I think I might faint from happiness. The closest thing I found was my birthday in one of the DT books.

    I'm a murder victim in Michael Slade's Death's Door. And Ben Vincent appears in Blockade Billy.

    Nope, but I've heard my name in a movie and a TV show (sort of). There was this show called Wikipedia reference-linkAmerican Dragon: Jake Long, but I'm a Jacob and not a Jake. There was this movie called Larva and William Forsythe played a Jacob Long, but it was a crummy movie.

    I've yet to come across a Jacob Long in a book.

    I've never had my name in anything, but what's weird is I've meet 4 couples with both my name and my husband's name. And my name can be spelled about 6 different way, and all 4 were spelled the same.
