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.

Ginger

Meaning: (Spring Like, Flourishing, Pep, Liveliness, Ginger, Refers to the pungent root used as a spice. Also a nickname for Virginia (Latin). Reddish orange color, Virgin.)

Origin: (English, Latin)

Pronunciation:  (JIN-jer, JHIHNJH-er)

Gender: Female

I have had my issues with this name in the past. I just thought it was a stupid name and something you called a person with red hair, sometimes to get them mad. I have begun to hear this name more often and I looked it up. I like many of the meanings. It is a fresh name and is easily pronounced and not at all odd or confusing. I don’t know if I will ever use it but it has earned my respect and so I am adding it for all those out there that want to use it.

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.
