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.

Satie

Meaning: (Faithful, Form of Sati (True, Existent, Good, Faithful, Awareness of one’s thoughts, actions or motivations.)

Origin: (Sanskrit)

Pronunciation: (SAETiy, sah-TEE)

Gender: Uni-Sex

I have liked this name for a while. It is originally a surname but when I saw it I thought how cool would that name be as a first name. It has a different look which I like. I also love the pronunciation. I first heard the name when watching an episode of Star Trek. Here is the quote from Captain Jean-Luc Picard.... "You know, there are some words I've known since I was a schoolboy: ' With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably.' Those words were uttered by Judge Aaron Satie as wisdom and warning. The first time any man's freedom is trodden on we're all damaged. I fear that today..." That quote stayed with me as it was so similar to a novel I am planning on writing which deals with people being censored and denied certain human rights and freedoms.

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.
