Mr Cornwell,

I’ve read almost all your Sharpe books and I love them like almost nothing else (God Stalk by P.C. Hodgell is still my favorite). Thank you for some great adventures. Anyway, I was wondering how you come up with your foreign names, like Leroux and de l’Eclin and Ducos. Even the English ones are so inventive — Obadiah Hakeswill and d’Alembord. I’m having a hard  time coming up with non-generic names for my characters. Do you have a trick or a website or just a talent? Thank you,

Helen
