The human bitch. She exists in so many forms. The fat bitch. The skinny bitch. The lying bitch. The man-stealing bitch. The bitch at school. The bitch at work. The bitch you no longer talk to, and yes, let’s face it, the bitch you occasionally glimpse in the mirror.  

Yep. Everyone knows a bitch. And I’m no exception.

My bitch is a cruel, conniving, bitter, twisted, jealous, unpleasant and considerably ugly bitch. And thus far, she is also without a name.

Which is where you come in. :-)

Please help me name my bitch.

My new novel is practically writing itself at such a furious pace that my (in-need-of-manicure) fingernails and general typing skills are struggling to keep up. Seriously I’ve spent so long here at my desk, tapping away with lightening speed, that the ’N’ and ’O’ keys on my keyboard appear to have got the hump and buggered off, leaving me with millions of misspelt words highlighted with squiggly red lines littering my screen. Highly annoying.

Alas I am so excited about my new book. The roots are firmly in place, the characters have come alive and I’m busying myself with paving their routes to happiness. Or at least I would be. If I hadn’t spent the best part of the last 48 hours trying to find a name for my bitch.

Can you name her? (She is a she by the way, though I am fully aware that bitches come in both genders.)

Is there a name you can think of that might be suitable for my bitch? Something really erm, ‘bitchy’?

You don’t need to provide a reason for why you consider the name to be suitable, though I’d gladly welcome any stories that might accompany your suggestion. :-) (It wouldn’t be right to name a bitch without having a little bitch about the bitch that might have inspired your bitches name in the first place now would it?!)

Please suggest some. And we’ll vote on the best!

Love to all

Steph x

Ana. Christened Anna, but thinks one N is cooler.
She's the 'best friend' bitch who throws out subtle little put downs and if you pull her on it she laughs and says 'oh you know me! I just don't think before I speak', therefore never actually retracting the remark. Oh, and she's the person you foolishly take with you to view a potential wedding venue, who then books it for her own wedding less that a week later. Bitter, me? Yep :-)

I love bitchy characters! Can't wait to read this one Steph, I reckon she should be called something Cecile, or Audrey, and she needs a nickname, something that other people refer to her as behind her back :)

Ha! Love this post. I am a writer as well and know how difficult it can be to name characters. Personally, I've known too many bitches and nice women with the same names to have a favorite - but I can't wait to see which one you pick!
