Character Names
1. Peekaboo (I wish I were lying about this one and it's various spellings, folks)
2. Nori (this is Japanese for those seaweed sheets that are used in cooking; you find nori on your sushi, in your ramen, on top of rice, on top of katsudon, etc.)
3. Flaumbe (flambé is also a cooking practice where you add alcohol to the pan of food, then light it on fire)
4. Paprika
5. Poem
6. Poetry
These are just a few I've come across that are worth noting, but it got me thinking. A character's name is pretty important to me. If it's too outlandish when a setting is pretty normal, or is a name I dislike, then I have a hard time liking the character. So, as a writer, I want to do right by my potential readers and use names that work for them.
How important are names to you as a reader? Why?
What names have you come across in novels that you love? Which ones do you hate? Why?
As a reader, what do you wish writers knew when it comes to naming their characters?
