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.

Euterpe

Meaning: (Delight, Well Pleasing, Giving Much Delight, Good, Give Pleasure, One of the nine muses, the muse of music, song, dance, and joy. She was said to have invented the double flute.)

Origin: (Greek, Greek Mythology)

Pronunciation: (You-turp-ee, you-ter-pee, you-tur-pay, Go to this site and run your cursor over the name Euterpe to hear how it is said: http://www.howjsay.com/index.php?word=euterpe)

Gender: Female

When I was looking up the Greek muses the other day besides Calliope *already on the list of posts* Euterpe was the only other muse name I liked. It looks and sounds a bit foreign to an English speaker obviously but I think the meaning is beautiful.

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.
