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.

Melody

Meaning: (Music, Song, First used in the 13th century, though uncommon. From the English word melody, which is derived (via Old French and Late Latin) from Greek μελος (melos) "song" combined with αειδω (aeido) "to sing".)

Origin: (Greek, Latin, English, French)

Pronunciation: (MEL-a-dee)

Gender: Female


I had a friend a few years back named Melody. I moved away and lost contact. I recently heard this name on Doctor Who the T.V Show. Melody Pond (Also Known as River Song) was the daughter of Rory and Amy's the Doctors recent travelling companions. I don't know if I would ever name a character this though. It is a lovely name with a very pretty meaning.

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.
