Character Naming Tips

Consider Your Setting

Match names to your story's time period and location. Victorian England calls for different names than modern-day Tokyo.

Avoid Confusion

Don't give characters names that start with the same letter or sound too similar. Readers will mix them up.

Meaning Matters

Names with relevant meanings can add depth. A warrior named "Valentina" (strength) feels more intentional.

Say It Out Loud

Read the name aloud. If it's hard to pronounce or sounds awkward, your readers will struggle too.
