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.

Epemetheus

Meaning: (Derived from Greek επιμηθεια (epimetheia) meaning "Hind Sight, Hind Thought". In Greek mythology he was a Titan, the brother of the god of forethought Prometheus.)

Origin: (Greek, Greek Mythology)

Pronunciation: (ep-ee-mee'-thee-us, Go to this site and run your cursor over the name Epemetheus to hear how it is pronounced: http://www.howjsay.com/index.php?word=epimetheus )

Gender: Male, possibly Uni-Sex

I was looking at Greek Mythology names and saw this one. Most have heard of Prometheus but few have seen Epemetheus. I do like the look of this name but the meaning and mythology may give some reason to rethink it but I think there could be a very good reason one might name a character this. I do like it a lot.

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.





Try some of the leading Baby Name Sites and Baby Name or Character Naming books as well.
