#WritersCoffeeClub Nov 25: "How do you decide on character names?"
It comes out of character and worldbuilding. I have a main character who's a Millennial. So that asks for a name that's moderately common for that age group. But he's also the son of a conservative congressman, the kind who'd name his kids something patriotic. In the end I bashed together a couple names that signed the Deceleration of Independence that met all the requirements and sounded nice. Happy birthday Benjamin Taylor.
