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.

Kendall

Meaning: ("the Kent river valley". Place name: a river in the west of England. Also possibly "bright river valley". Used as a given name since the 19th century.)

Origin: (Old-English)

Pronunciation: (KEN-dal)

Gender: Uni-Sex


I told someone on Yahoo Answers I might put there name on here. Kendall is an alright name but one of the reasons I don't much care for it is because Kim, Kloe & Kourtney Kardashian one of there half sisters is named Kendall. Too much hype around the Kardashians as of late. Kendall is a nice name and could be nice in a variety of novels.

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.
