However, readers do complain about having to research pronunciations, as it can be a bit weary if you’ve got some out-of-this-world extraordinary names in there. Now, all of this may seem a bit too much because the real focus is meant to stay on the story. For good measure, set up a scene where the pronunciation can be defined so that it becomes easier for the reader. As far as possible, use a name that does not have difficult accents, unless the story absolutely demands it. Pick a name that is memorable, but isn’t too tongue-twisting. Going overboard with the exoticness won’t do any good either. Supporting characters are also an integral part of the story-line as the mains, so let their names be consistent with the theme and era. Be consistent with other namesĭon’t focus all your energies solely on naming the main characters and doing a ‘John-Jane’ job with the rest. The erudite name suited the nose-in-the-air character she was. Rowling certainly gave a lot of thought before naming her after a character from Shakespeare’s A Winter’s Tale. Let’s take Hermione Granger from the Harry Potter Series, for instance. While modern stories do not require names which are as dramatic, a well-thought name might be used to impart certain qualities to the character. If you’ve read Dan Brown’s Angels & Demons, you ought to remember how he backed up the antagonist’s name by providing a short account of its etymological origins? Hassassin was the name of that character, derived from Hashashin of Hassan Ibn Sabbah, the notorious killer of the medieval era. We’re listing a few dos and don’t of naming fictional characters―some of these are meant to be warnings, while others should provide some inspiration. There are a lot of considerations to be kept in mind in this regard―the character’s qualities, background, the setting and culture of the story, and then of course you, the writer, needs to like it. Writers may have no trouble etching fanciful story-lines set in exotic locales, but may fumble with the comparatively wearisome work of naming each character appropriately. With due respect to William Shakespeare, there’s a lot to a name, especially when it’s a fictional character being considered.

#MAGICAL NAMES FOR A BOOK MOVIE#

Several readers got the pronunciation right only after they watched the movie version of the novel. Rowling wanted as unique a name possible for this strong female character, which indeed was like no other. Most of those who claimed to have pronounced Miss Granger’s first name correctly while reading the first Harry Potter novel were clearly lying. It wasn’t Her-mee-own, but Her-my-oh-nee!
