: Re: Every character has a name - does this lead to too many named characters? My tendency when writing is to give every character a name. Even the most minor ones. It says something about a nobleman

This will not help determine how many is too many character to name but to mitigate the downsides, I would look closely at the types of names being used. For example five female characters named Lindsey, Laurel, Lauren, Liza and Lizzie might be a tad hard to keep apart. Maybe some minor characters dont need full names, just titles or nicknames, which will flesh them out a little without mixing them up with someone more important.
