Character Naming

As an Author naming your Character is an important step right after coming up with the plot. I am here to help you choose the right character name for you and your story.

Make sure your character name is Genre Appropriate. Make sure if it's a Historical Fiction novel or takes place in a real time period that the name was used then. Or if it's a fictionalized place then you can be as creative as you wish.

Just have fun with naming your character. It is after all your story.

Cosmo

Meaning: (Order, Harmony, Beauty, Universe, Italian form of Greek Kosmas. Saint Cosmos, a martyr, was patron saint of the Italian city of Milan, and the name was further spread there by the fame of Cosimo de' Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany and one of the chief patrons of the Italian Renaissance. His friend the Duke of Gordon took the name to Britain in the 17th century. Now also the name of an American soccer team. From the Greek name Κοσμας (Kosmas), which was derived from κοσμος (kosmos) meaning "order, decency". Saint Cosmas was martyred with his twin brother Damian in the 4th century. They are the patron saints of physicians.)

Origin: (Italian, Greek)

Pronunciation: (KAWZ-mo, KOZ-mo)

Gender: Male

So I only just thought of adding this name after I added Damien. Cosmo was Damian's twin brother. I kind of like it now. It would work wonders for a character whose parents were into the stars and space and the universe or could work for a character in the future set on a space station. Or it could be in a historical fiction novel if used properly. It's up to the author.
