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.

I was reading something the other day on Yahoo Answers and someone was asking about nicknames for Andromeda. They said they saw this name in a more modern book. I think Andromeda is a powerful name with nice meanings. The mythology is also very interesting. I have so many ideas for characters running through my head when I hear and see this name.
