Charcters

How many love to write? But how many have trouble coming up with the characters' names? Here are some tips when it comes to figuring out the names.

1. Make it fit the personality or go with stereotype names. For example is you have a nice calm girl who is classy and have nice manners don't name her Venus, name her something more like Charlotte or Emma. Unless it goes with the plot.

2. Make the age match the name. Do not call your character Sawyer if she is going to be in her 40s, even though this was most likely a name also back then it was very uncommon and in your story it would be a bit unbelievable

3. Make the name flow. Don't give your character a name like Quentin Colin Penington.
