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.

Bray

Meaning: (Cry Out, Borderland, Brick Layer, Broad, Wide)

Origin: (Middle English, Old French, Celtic)

Pronunciation: (brAI, BREY)

Gender: Male


I have added female names with Brae or Bray somewhere with in them and I said I would add Bray alone as a male name. Now I have gotten around to it. I have always like the name Bray since I was in my teens and I watched this show that had this guy named Bray in it. He was brave and he was one of my favorite characters in the show. Anyway I like how the name Bray is short, easy to say with a decent meaning. It isn't as showy as some names but that may be good. Make a character with a simpler name speak for it's self.

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.
