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.

Adria

Meaning: (From Hadria (Northern Italy), Dark One, Variant of Adrienne, Feminine form of Adrien)

Origin: (Greek, Latin, English)

Pronunciation: (AADRiyah, AHD-ree-ə, AYD-ree- ə)

Gender: Female

Just like Vala which is right below this name I heard this name on the syfy T.V series Stargate: SG1. Adria was the daughter of Vala on the show. I was watching it the other day and so I decided to add this to my blog. It's a really pretty name. I like the look of it.

I can't remember the way they said it on the show but I think it's like odd-ree-uh rather than the common add-ree-uh. Then again I could have that switched. Both are correct pronunciations of this name. Again it really just depends on each persons way of pronouncing a name.

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.
