: 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

You do not need to sacrifice realistic names to have thematic names. Just like in real life characters can come to be known by different parts of the name, and that makes all the difference.

Think about a character named Dick, now think about Richard. Or perhaps we can have Mr Nixon. Or if all else fails we can call him Tricky D.

Even if you mention the character's full name at some point, the reader will remember the name you use over and over, and that is the feeling that they will get about him or her. Even further it is an easy way to convey how characters feel about other characters if they use different parts of names.A big upper manager parades around as Montgomery until he runs into the CEO who insists on calling him Monty
