- What names do you find yourself using too much in your stories?
- Are there any names you absolutely can’t stand?
- What about cliche names?
- Are there any names you like that are considered “cliche”?
- When you name your characters, do you consider the meaning behind the name, or do you name them randomly?
Madison
Mark
No
I consider it based on it’s cutenessness
Darcy is such an annoying name
Sofia
Andrea
Emiliano
Max
Armando
Mariano

Brody. I don’t know why but I hate that name.
-
Wren- It’s that darn silent ‘W’ at the beginning and the fact that it’s a bird name, because I’m fine with ‘Ren’.
-
John, Bob. Bill - Boring old man names
There are some cliche names that still sound nice to me even though they are overused. But overused and not even cool names? That’s a hard ‘NO’ from me.
I like Mia and Emma, but they might be considered cliche
It depends on their personality and if the same seems to fit. Sometimes, I pick one that reminds me of the person the character is based on, or even their name. Other times, I research a name that sounds nice from the character’s culture.
Gwen, Brie, Edith…
Maybe, but I can’t really think of anything right meow…
Well, they’re just names.
I don’t think so, but mlemybe.
I always consider the meaning, unless I am bored.
Why did this make my laugh so much?
Same here!
Bump.
Are there any names that you love, and tend to include in your stories? Any names that you just don’t like?
i usually love to give my mc an unusual or unisex name as i feel like then it kinda makes them have a bit more personality rather then being the basic white bitch called madison.
Just an example no offence to the madisons of the world
The mc in my story is a girl called Aiden.
And the other characters are called:
Kyna
Tara
Eden
Luca
Jake (fun fact: i only named one of the characters Jake so i could make brooklyn 99 references😂)
Jay
Ryder
also Kevin
For males I use names with J a lot I’ve noticed that some time ago and try changing it but I like those names for my MCs
No, not really. There are no names that I’ve heard too often or anything. I just don’t like it when a character has the same name as me
No, I can’t think of any right now so I think there are none for me.
Depends on the story. If the names are important in the story, I really think about them and look up their meaning. But if I just need a name for some background characters that only appear once in the story, I don’t really care

Oops! I just realized I read that WRONG.
I thought it said: Are there any names that you consider cliche?? I skipped the like part.
I DO NOT like the names Brody and Ryder…
Taylor, Liam, and Ava are okay, but they aren’t my favorites
Oh, but names I LIKE that are considered cliche:
Mia, Emma, maybe?
What names do you find yourself using too much in your stories?
I try and give everyone unique names, but I bet I’ve named male characters the same name across various stories.
Are there any names you absolutely can’t stand?
Yes,although I can’t think of anything
Are there any names you like that are considered “cliche”?
I don’t really think there are any cliche names except for like… Axel.
When you name your characters, do you consider the meaning behind the name, or do you name them randomly?
Yes some of both
