Character Naming

As an Author naming your Character is an important step right after coming up with the plot. I am here to help you choose the right character name for you and your story.

Make sure your character name is Genre Appropriate. Make sure if it's a Historical Fiction novel or takes place in a real time period that the name was used then. Or if it's a fictionalized place then you can be as creative as you wish.

Just have fun with naming your character. It is after all your story.

Evelina or Evalina

Pronunciation: (ev-eh-LEE-na, ev-uh-LEE-na)

Evelina is the name of one of my friends daughter. It is a pretty name with a pretty meaning. I try to not use names of friends or people I know for characters *Try is the word, sometimes I just like the name and I do use it*. So I won't be using this name but someone else out there can use it for there character.

I try to have the most accurate Meanings, Origin and Pronunciations for the names on this blog. It is best though to do research into the names you decide to use for your characters as there can be errors on my blog. Or meanings, origins, and pronunciations I have not seen thus not been able to add to this blog.
