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.

Bernadetta

Meaning: (Strong, Brave as a Bear, Variant of Bernadette, Feminine of Bernard.)

Origin: (French, Old German)

Pronunciation: (B-ERNAHDEHT-AH, Ber-na-DET-uh)

Gender: Female

I saw a movie where one of the characters was named Birdie and it was a nickname for Bernadette or Bernadetta. The meanings are interesting and I think though this has a feel of an old world name and perhaps dated it still has a slight freshness nowadays. In a novel I would say this would make a good hand me down family name for a character.

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.
