I’m curious as to whether people tend to have an overall theme when naming their characters. You can include descriptions, if you want, or you can just write a list of the names you remember using for your characters.
Mine: [name_f]Kew[/name_f], [name_u]Hollis[/name_u], and [name_f]Gigi[/name_f].
[name_f]Kalliope[/name_f], [name_m]Septimus[/name_m] and [name_m]Zephyrus[/name_m]: Triplets, age 11. Last name [name_u]Gardener[/name_u].
[name_f]Rena[/name_f], [name_f]Rhonda[/name_f] and [name_f]Rosey[/name_f]: Siblings, ages 10, 11 and 12. [name_m]Minor[/name_m] characters. No last name.
[name_u]Logan[/name_u]: Age 10. English girl. Last name Elbuck.
[name_u]Phoenix[/name_u] and [name_m]Gryffin[/name_m]: [name_u]Logan[/name_u]'s half sisters. Identical twins. Last name [name_u]Ashton[/name_u].
[name_m]Johnny[/name_m]: [name_u]Logan[/name_u]'s older brother. Age 11. Last name Elbuck.
[name_f]Karen[/name_f] [name_u]Gray[/name_u]: Age 19.
[name_u]Winter[/name_u] [name_u]Gray[/name_u]: [name_u]Baby[/name_u]. [name_f]Karen[/name_f]'s daughter.
[name_f]Lilac[/name_f] and [name_f]Lavender[/name_f]: [name_u]Phoenix[/name_u] and [name_m]Gryffin[/name_m]'s alternate names.
[name_m]Akiro[/name_m] Matsushita: Age 10. Has red hair. [name_m]Friend[/name_m] of [name_u]Logan[/name_u].
[name_f]Marlee[/name_f] [name_u]Sailor[/name_u]: Age 10. [name_m]Friend[/name_m] of [name_m]Akiro[/name_m] and [name_u]Logan[/name_u].
[name_u]Cheyenne[/name_u]: Age 10. No last name.
I don’t remember the name of this story.
[name_f]Melissa[/name_f] (MC)
[name_m]Trent[/name_m] (MC’s love interest)
[name_m]Matt[/name_m] (MC’s Brother)
[name_m]Jack[/name_m] and [name_f]Ami[/name_f] [name_m]Anderson[/name_m] (MC’s adoptive parents)
[name_f]Katie[/name_f] (Best [name_m]Friend[/name_m])
[name_u]Caley[/name_u] ([name_m]Friend[/name_m])
[name_f]Amber[/name_f] ([name_m]Friend[/name_m])
[name_f]Kera[/name_f] (MC’s Best [name_m]Friend[/name_m]'s adopted sister)
[name_u]Ali[/name_u], [name_f]Maria[/name_f], and [name_m]Aaron[/name_m] (Best [name_m]Friend[/name_m]'s cousins and adoptive siblings of MC)
Another where I don’t remember the name of the story
[name_f]Tabitha[/name_f] ‘[name_f]Tibby[/name_f]’ (MC)
[name_m]Mario[/name_m] (MC’s love, eventual husband)
[name_u]Teagan[/name_u] and [name_u]Reagan[/name_u] (MC’s B/G twins) I know, this is an old story, I should’ve known better than to using rhyming names.
Considering I have a 12-page, single-spaced, 11-point font, narrow-margined Word document with all the character names (minor and major) from the story ideas I have now, I will just list the main characters from the book I’m actually working on.
The dystopia novel that is untitled (:p)
[name_m]Cove[/name_m] Hartford
[name_f]Maple[/name_f] Hartford
[name_f]Iris[/name_f] Hartford
[name_f]Kate[/name_f] [name_u]Rowan[/name_u]
The OTHER dystopia novel that I’m unsure about:
[name_f]Mildred[/name_f] “[name_f]Milly[/name_f]” [name_u]Tyler[/name_u]
Shen-[name_m]Long[/name_m] “Shen” Liu
Realistic fiction story 1:
Jayden Smith, the main character.
Mia Smith, Jayden’s nonverbal sister.
Half-developed insanity story:
Morris “Moss” [the only character…it’s a bit hard to explain this one!]
Frozen Fanfics:
Queen Isolde of Arendelle, called Isolde, is the character in one.
The third one is just using the original characters.
The second, which has a weird plot, is about a boy named Samuel, originally a prince, but some complicated plot things happen.
Fantasy world story:
Mary Hutchinson. a girl from the normal world.
Finn O’Reilley, a boy who dies at the end trying to save Mary and both worlds.
High fantasy:
Araminta Waverly, a peasant who is arrested for stealing blankets for her family, setting off a chain of events.
Prince Thorne (called Thorne), who has always thought he was cruel like his family until Araminta finds the good in him [yes, I KNOW it’s cheesy! I’m working on it…]
