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.

Gigi

Meaning: (Brilliant, Trustworthy, Literary: the name of a young girl in a French novel by Colette, later made into an award-winning stage play and movie musical.)

Origin: (French)

Pronunciation: (zhee-ZHEE, JEE-jee, Most say it like GG)

Gender: Female

I first came across this name when I watched the movie Gigi which was made from the novel by Colette. In the movie Gigi was played by Leslie Caron. I like the movie a lot and I have mixed feelings about the name though. I heard the name again on the T.V Show Gilmore Girls. I would like to see it used more currently in a novel.

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.
