Prompt One
A great deal of effort goes into choosing a person’s name: whether that name is chosen by an author, a parent, or someone else. A person’s name is integral to their identity and the process of choosing, the reasoning behind the choice, reflects on the namer and their background.

Write a scene in which the meaning of your character’s name is discussed.

Things to consider…
What are the naming conventions in your world? ‘Christian’ standard is First-Middle-Surname. Spanish is First-First-Paternal first surname-Maternal first Surname. Japanese is Surname-Given name. Think also about how names are feminised or any other rules which exist.
Who named the character?
What’s the origin of the name? What does it mean?
What does it mean to the person who chose it? For example: was ‘Mark’ chosen because it’s a biblical name, because “Marcus” means "consecrated to the god Mars”, or because his mother’s first love was called Mark?
What does the name mean to the character bearing it? Does he like it or dislike it and why?
Are there any in/famous people who share the name?
