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.

Remington

Meaning: (From the Raven City, From the elements ‘hremm’ meaning Raven; ‘tun’ meaning Town, Settlement, Homestead. The first name is derived from the place name of the meaning ‘Raven City’. Raven Family Town, Settlement on the Boundary Stream, From the Ridge Town, “Remington Steele,” TV show and character played by Pierce Brosnan.)

Origin: (Old English)

Pronunciation: (REHM-ih-NGTahn, REM-ing-tun)

Gender: Male, Possibly Uni-Sex

I was researching the name Remy *see on list of posts* I saw Remy was a contraction of Remington. So I decided to add Remington on its own because it is unique, rare and I love the meanings. I love names that have to do with Raven because Ravens seem a mysteries bird to me and it has an aura of horror always surrounding that bird in film and books. It also has other meanings which I like a lot as well.

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.
