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.

Georgette

Meaning: (Earth Worker, Farmer, Feminine form of George, Used since 1940’s, A purposely wrinkled fabric called Georgette was named after it’s French creator, Georgette Heyer was a 20th century author who essentially created the genre of Regency Romance.)

Origin: (French, Latin, Greek)

Pronunciation: (zhor-ZHET)

Gender: Female

I have had this on my list of names for a while and haven't gotten around to adding it yet. I turned my T.V on one day and there was a cartoon movie on called Oliver and Company a movie I loved when I was a kid. Anyway I watched a few minutes of it and the girl that adopted the cat Oliver had a poodle named Georgette. I love many different feminine forms of George *see Georgiana on my list of posts.* So I decided I had to add this as I love the look, meanings, and pronunciation of this name. Also a cute nickname could be Georgie.
