Romance novel character name help
Aspiring romance novelist here and I’m trying to narrow down a name for one of the main female characters.
I’m less interested in whether you personally like the name and more interested in your immediate impression of the name(s)
Without looking anything up, what comes to mind when you hear each of these?
• Affinia (stand alone name)
• Affinia Savoy
• Affinia Fujiwara
• Sonomi Savoy
• Affinia Sonomi Savoy
• Affinia Monroe
For each one, I’d love to know:
— What nationality or cultural background do you imagine?
— How old does she feel?
— What kind of personality do you picture?
— What profession could you imagine her having?
— Which name is the most memorable?
— Which sounds the most elegant?
— Which one would make you want to keep reading?
First impressions only, don’t think too hard or long it as there are no right or wrong answers! Thank you so much and I appreciate your help
Love,
RR
