I&#x27;m curious as to whether or not parents put as much thought into naming their own children as authors do with their characters. I suppose not, because parents start with somewhat of a blank slate. Authors have to find a name that encompasses a fully developed character, even if they are fictional and will end up being less complex than a real person. It might be an interesting exercise to name yourself and your friends now, and see if you can think of a better name to suit them.
