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.

Theophilus

Meaning: (Friend of God, Loved by God, The person to whom Luke addressed both his Gospel and the Acts of Apostles. (Lu 1:3, 4; Ac 1:1) His being called “most excellent” may indicate a high position of some kind, or it may simply be an expression of high esteem. Theophilus apparently was a Christian, having been orally taught about Jesus Christ and his ministry. Luke’s written statement served to assure him of the certainty of what he had learned previously by word of mouth.)

Origin: (Biblical, Hebrew, Greek)

Pronunciation: (thee-AHF-ə-ləs (English), thee-AWF-uh-lis, Go to this site and run your cursor over Theophilus to hear how it is said: http://www.howjsay.com/index.php?word=theophilus&submit=Submit)

I was looking up a name and meaning the other day and I saw this name near it. I thought I really like that name and then I thought ow the other day I saw this name when I was reading a scripture in my bible. This name has a great meaning and has a cool look and sound. Possible Nicknames: Theo, Phil.

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.
