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.

Meaning: (Noble or Royal Bear, Elf Ruler, Supernaturally Powerful, Rules with Elf Wisdom, From an Old French name of German (Frankish) origin. The name may possibly be a form of Aubrey or Adalbero. Better-known, though no more common for it, as Oberon, King of the Fairies in Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream".)

Origin: (Old German)

Pronunciation: (AO-BEHRahN, AWB-ur-awn, Go to this site and run your cursor over Oberon to hear how it is said. Oberon is one spelling of Auberon. Then take the OH sound of Oberon and substitute for AW in Auberon: http://www.howjsay.com/index.php?word=auberon&submit=Submit)

Gender: Male

I found this on the Internet and I came to really like it after I saw the meaning. It took a while to get the right pronunciation but I think I have it now. There seems to be two close pronunciations. This is a masculine rare name and I like it.
