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.

I have always loved the name Orion since I was in my early teens. I thought I was one of the only ones who really liked it but when researching more on this name I found people that like it too and have even named there child this name. I think it one of the view good mythology names. The Orion constellations is like one of the only ones I can ever find in the nights sky too. It's on my favorite male names list as well.
