Quick Overview

Today's pick is from Zachary Petit...

Is your character more of a Helmut or a Harry? Do all of your protagonists keep begging for the name 'Smith'? Long before I worked at WD, I picked up a copy of The Writer's Digest Character Naming Sourcebook and parked it near my computer, and it's still there. Packed with more than 25,000 names from anywhere and everywhere, it'll take the pain out of names and help you brand your characters with ease.

Limited Resource Review by CDSlater

This book is a limited resource possibly because it is in paper form. It tries to cover as many nationalities as it can in 486 pages. I have found a wider range of names and their meanings at behindthename.com. If you happen to find yourself someplace where you cannot get online, this will do.
