Need help finding the perfect name for my fictional character!?
So I am writing this fictional story for school. One of my main character's is Will. I am trying to figure out a cute name for my female lead. I want it to roll of the tongue when said with Will. Also preferably would like to have it mean something like "Brave warrior" or something similar. Her character is shy and seemingly weak, but I'm drawing in later allusions by giving her a name that means the opposite. Thanks!
The name Echo for a character?
For a female character, of course, since it is a girl's name. I had someone try and convince me it was a boy's name today and they obviously have never read Greek mythology. I know there is a book about a girl named Echo, but this is only a short story. It's kind of the opposite. Her name is Echo, but she cannot speak. Also can you think of a middle name or last name? Thanks. I appreciate it.
How do you pick the perfect name for your novel?
You don't know perfect until it sells. Book titles seem natural when you hear them or read them off a cover. It's not always like that. Imagine if the Harry Potter Series had a different name, what if it was just The Sorcerers Stone, or the Prisoner of Azkaban. It feels like it's missing something and you might not have connected the two. What about Diary of a Wimpy Kid? Or Among the Hidden? The Old Man and The sea? The Hunger Games? These names sound fantastic, and they bring fond memories of intriguing plots and characters.Getting more to the point, the way you pick a title is you focus on something key to your story, something ambiguous but not vague. If I published a book about a baseball player who falls from their mantle and becomes a recluse, I wouldn't call it "The Rise and fall of such player" I'd go with something like "Knuckleball" or "Struck Out". It focuses on the main idea or thing that takes place in the book and it's interesting (at least I like to think so). Anyways, point is, use your intuition and knowledge. What catches your attention when it comes to book titles? Is it short and simple? Or is it longer? Are they using anything with their words that stick out (i.e. Alliteration, onomatopoeia)? Are they descriptive? Quick little tips like this might help come up with a title for your novel/short story/screenplay.
I have the perfect first and middle name. Help me out on the last name.?
Nathaniel Zachariah Blackburn? It sounds nice to me.
What is the perfect last name to go with the first name Logan?
Amanda, If you want some unique names from various nationalities, here’s a little trick. Do what I do. Get one of your DVD's and go directly to the credits. Don't bother with the cast, but go to the people behind the scenes. Best Boy, Lighting Crew, Sound Crew, Hairdressers, Assistants, etc... You can also do this with a movie that’s on cable where you can fast forward. I take a first name and marry it up with another last name. This is a great way to get away from the hum drum names that simply come to mind. It takes a little time, but it’s well worth it. It’s a great way to come up with names for various creatures of the night, too. Vampires, Werewolves, Witches, Demons, etc… PJ M
