What do tu find difficult about coming up with character names for your stories?

Haha, yeah. Sometimes I spend all día trying to find a name for one character in my story. It's hard to not re-use the names I picked, since I like them so much. But every character is different, and should have different names. But I am using two names, from a short story I wrote and I am using them in the novel I'm writing. Names can me tough.

Everyone of my characters names have to be dead on. A name is so important because it gives tu the sense of a character before tu meet them. tu have to get the sound of the name to match their personality and looks in my view and it can take ages to get it spot on.

For example, a shy girl with doe eyes. I'd try to think of a soft name that flows easily, that gives tu a sense of peace. For a strong character you'd need a strong name.

Sometimes I go on the internet to look at what different names mean, to give them a hidden element. Example, the name Salvatore means saviour so I'd use this name for a hero.

Myslef I like unusual, fantasía old fashioned names and try to avoid common names like Nia and Katie (nothing wrong with them but it's just not my style). So yeah, sometimes it takes some time to think of the perfect names, but a lot of the time it just comes to me out of the blue when my mind is in a relaxed state.
