Character Naming Tips

Create memorable names for your fictional characters.

Choose names that reflect the character's personality, history, or destiny. For example, 'Felix' means lucky.

Ensure the name fits the time period and cultural background of your setting. A medieval knight wouldn't be named 'Kyle'.

Say the name out loud. Does it sound harsh (Voldemort) or soft (Luna)? The sound should match the character's vibe.

Try to avoid overused names unless there's a specific reason. Look for variations or lesser-known names.

🏢

Stand out in the market with a strong brand name.

Short, easy-to-spell names are easier to remember and type. Think 'Apple', 'Nike', 'Uber'.

Before falling in love with a name, check if the domain (.com) and social media handles are available.

Don't limit yourself too much. 'Bob's Burgers' limits you to burgers. 'Bob's Foods' is broader.

What feeling do you want to evoke? Trust? Excitement? Innovation? Choose words that trigger those emotions.

📚

Catchy titles for books, articles, and videos.

Words like 'Ultimate', 'Essential', 'Proven', and 'Secret' grab attention.

Clear value proposition: 'How to [Achieve Result] in [Timeframe]'. Works every time.

Repeated sounds make titles stickier. 'Pride and Prejudice', 'The Great Gatsby'.

Hint at something interesting without giving it all away. 'The 4-Hour Workweek'.
