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.

Draven

Meaning: (A Faithful Man, Child of Beautiful Shadows, Hunter, Poet, Fawn, Little Dark One, It is from the word draefend with the meaning 'hunter'. The first name is derived from the surname, which is of obscure and possibly Old English origin. It is the name of the fictional hero Eric Draven in the comic book series The Crow (1989-) by James O'Barr, which was adapted into a 1994 film starring Brandon Lee as the hero. Variant forms of Draven include the names Dravin and Drayven.)

Origin: (English, Old English, Celtic)

Pronunciation: (dray-ven)

Gender: Male

There have been negative and positive views on this name. Most say it is Gothic. I on the other hand really like it. I love the meaning and the sound of the name. I have this name down to be used in one of my novels I haven't written yet.

    I haven't been checking my comments lately but I finally saw this and was finally able to reply, sorry. I think it is cool your name is Drayven! A lady my mother used to know her grandson is named Draven so besides them you are the only one I have heard of named this! I've always liked the name and have used it in one of my novels before! Thanks for commenting!

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.
