: Re: When naming a character, is thematic naming or realistic naming more important? Or is there a way to strike a balance between thematic naming and realistic naming? Thematic: When the name relates

If I read about a character and the name is revealed, I expect, that the name matches the setting and the names in the world in general.

In a medival setting of Europe I would expect, that no one is called "Chantalle" or "Kevin", cause that are names that got popular later.

Names have a certain rang to it and does help improving the impact of the story. 1001 nights wouldn't be the same if a Joanne would tell the storys. No, Scheherazade has a more familiar ring to it and matches the setting perfectly. So I think the naming is pretty much a mix out of both: thematic and realistic origins. A name can have many meanings. So the mix makes the cake.
