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.

Concordia or Concordea

Meaning: (Harmony, Concord, Peace, Unity, The Harmonious One, Classical Mythology: Concordia was the Goddess of Harmony & Peace succeeding a battle. The concept is memorialized in several place names like Concord, Massachusetts and Paris's Place de la Concorde.)

Origin: (Latin, Classical Mythology)

Pronunciation: ( kon-KAWR-dee-a, Go to this site and run your cursor over Concordia to hear how it is said: http://www.howjsay.com/index.php?word=concordia&submit=Submit)

Gender: Female

I saw this in the same book I mentioned earlier in my previous post the book is called The Writer's Digest Character Naming Sourcebook second edition By Sherrilyn Kenyon. This name is similar to Harmony *see on list of posts*. I think this name would fit well with Melody, Aria, Piper, or Lyra/ Lyre *see on list of posts*. Concordia is such a pretty name and I adore the meaning it's so lovely.

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.
