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.

Dresden

Meaning: (Is a city in Germany, famous for its beautiful Porcelain. It was the Capitol of the Kingdom of Saxony. While the city has a long and storied history, many who hear the name “Dresden” think immediately of the massive WWII Firebombing that destroyed the city and killed thousands of Civilians, its name etymologically derives from Old Sorbian Drezdany, meaning “People of the Forest.”)

Origin: (German)

Pronunciation: (Drez-den)

Gender: Male

This name I heard on someone once. Many do think of the WWII Bomb attack on the city. I happen to like the meaning and the look of the name. It's strong and you don't hear this name too often.

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.
