Tips on Choosing a Fantasy Name
- Look out for the sound of your character's name. Make sure it captures the essence and personality of your character.
- Depending on your story’s world, you must be strict with specific naming traditions of your choosing. For example, The Lannisters in Game of Thrones are known to show a tendency to names that start with “Ty” (Tywin, Tyrion.)
- Always keep your audience's preference in mind. You want your character names to be easy to remember, so don’t choose one that’s hard to pronounce!
