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.

Terranova

Meaning: (New Earth, Terra': "Earth" + "Nova": "New." New Land)

Origin: (Latin, Italian)

Pronunciation: (tair-rah-noh-vah)

Gender: Female

I forget where I first saw this name but it would work cool as a first middle or last name. Also has been used in books as the name of new worlds and stuff. I think it is cool and would look amazing as a characters first name. I think it would fit more in a sci-fi or fantasy setting. I just saw an advertisement the other day about a new show called Terranova. Using this name may have it's down falls because of popular shows and books already haven used it. But I think if it fits your novels setting then use it.

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.
