Name and surname The name of a character plays an important role in the story, because it represents the character himself and makes him more credible and real to the reader. Some time ago I wrote an article in which I talked about how to create character names , names that worked. I reiterate what has been written and underline that a name must satisfy four characteristics: readability : a name must be easy to read, so that it is also easily memorized; adaptability : the name must adapt to the character, it should be considered an interlocking element; current affairs : the name must be historically valid, i.e.
Relevant to the historical period of the novel; regionality : the name Phone Number Data must be geographically linked to the character.
