Other authors also have dilemmas about choosing and finding the right character names because of a variety of reasons. Here it's dela Cruz for Filipinos or something like Tan or Lee for the Chinese - obviously not surnames I can use to describe someone blond and blue-eyed or a green-eyed redhead.Īnd that's just me. Surnames are even harder for me because we definitely don't have anyone here with last names such as Smith, West, or Johnson. But here in mine, it's something like Juan, Jose, and Pedro - yes, it's very Latin and that's because for hundreds of years we were under Spanish rule. In your countries, Tom, Dick, Harry sound common enough. You all probably know I'm Filipino-Chinese and as such, I often run out of Western-sounding names to use for my major and minor characters. I look at her as a friend, mentor, and role model, which is why when she suggested character names as a topic for her guest post, I jumped on it immediately. Butler and - at the time of posting - she's the fifteenth most popular Romance > Fantasy & Futuristic author in Amazon! And you know what's even more impressive?
