Tips for choosing a great name
- Say it out loud. If you stumble over it, your readers or players will too.
- Check the first letter. Main characters with different initials are easier to tell apart on the page.
- Match the culture of your world. Names from one region should share sounds and endings.
- Save a shortlist. Star the names you like and compare them side by side before deciding.
