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.

Pilar

Meaning: (Pillar, Pilar was a character in the book ‘For Whom the Bell Tolls’ by Ernest Hemingway.)

Origin: (Spanish)

Pronunciation: (pee-LAR, pee-LAHR)

Gender: Female

I heard this name the other day and I like it a lot. It's beautiful and has an exotic look to it. I really would love to use this name for one of my characters I just have to find the right character and story before I can use it. I hope someone else uses this name too for there character as this name is unique and very rarely used on book characters.

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.
