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.

Davina

Meaning: (Beloved, Feminine form of David)

Origin: (Scottish, Hebrew)

Pronunciation: (dah-VEE-nah)

Gender: Female

I first saw this in a historical fiction novel by my favorite author. The main female character was named Davina. It took a while for the name to grow on me. Now I sort of like it and it is the feminine form of David. So it could be given to a character in tribute to the father if the father is named David. That is how it was done in the novel I read. The girls father was Scottish and named David so they named the girl Davina.

I try to have the most accurate Meanings, Origin and Pronunciations for the names on this blog. It is best though to do research into the names you decide to use for your characters as there can be errors on my blog. Or meanings, origins, and pronunciations I have not seen thus not been able to add to this blog.
