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.

Elizabeth

Meaning: (God's Promise, My Glod is Plenty, God of Plenty, God is my Oath, Biblical: the mother of John the Baptist. Popular name since the 16th-century reign of Queen Elizabeth I of England. Among Christians, this name was originally more common in Eastern Europe. It was borne in the 12th century by Saint Elizabeth of Hungary, a daughter of King Andrew II who used her wealth to help the poor. In medieval England it was occasionally used in honour of the saint, though the form Isabel (from Provençal and Spanish) was more common. Famous modern bearers include the British queen Elizabeth II (1926-) and actress Elizabeth Taylor (1932-).

Origin: (Hebrew, Biblical)

Pronunciatio: (ee-LIZ-a-beth)

Gender: Female

I have used this as the middle name of several of my characters. It has been said this is a filler name. It is my middle name and I love it. It is also number one middle name on my favorite female names list.
