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.

The name Sparrow has been used often. Here are it's uses....Sparrow Madden: son of Nicole Richie and Joel Madden. Captain Jack Sparrow, central character in the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. Sparrow Delaney of the Secret Life of Sparrow Delaney by Suzanne Harper. Her sisters' names are Raven, Dove, Wren, Oriole, Lark, Linnet. Sparrow, protagonist of Fable 2. Sparrow is a wonderful nature name. Someone on Yahoo Answers was asking if the name Sparrow was too unique for there character. A lot of the answers were positive. They liked it as I did and they agreed it was not too unique. I also saw a movie where a character had a second secret name and it was Sparrow Hawk. I personally like Sparrow and Sparrows are my favorite bird.
