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.

Rosebrae or Rosebray

Meaning: (Rose = A Flower, A Rose + Brae / Bray = A Hill, Hillside, Slope, Cry Out, Borderland)

Origin: (Scottish, Gaelic, Middle English, Old French, Old English, Latin)

Pronunciation: (Rose: ROHZ Brae/Bray: brAI, so ROHZbrAI)

Gender: Female

I was up visiting my sister, brother-in-law and nephew this last weekend and we went by the old neighborhood where me and my sister grew up. There was a street name a few blocks away called Rosebrae. I had forgotten about that street. I really liked the look of Rosebrae. It has two names I love (Rose & Brae) and they are combined. I thought about it and Rosebray I think I even like more. I have loved the name Bray since I watched this T.V show years ago. Of course Bray was a male characters name and Bray does seem masculine but when put with Rose it is instantly feminized. Rosebrae and Rosebray give off a different feeling with the different spellings and I love that about these names.

I might actually add a post for Bray the masculine form later.

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.
