Names in the book

[Precious_Nzeakor]

Just as with creating the right setting for a book with descriptions of places and people, I believe names add a delicate taste to the general enjoyment of the book. As this is my first experience with books about pirates, im not sure what names would be most suitable for the setting. However, I didn't see anything special with the names. They could easily be applied to books about Royals if the writer so pleases.

When I began reading this book, I found the names a bit absurd, confusing, and at the same time, unique. I found the names of the ships, "The Morning Star," and "The Red Witch" to be quite creative.

[Brenda Creech]

I never really thought about it before, but names do make somewhat if a difference in how I see the characters in a book. I loved all the unique names the author used in this book. Names like the plague and the Scarlet Mistress helped me get a better image if the characters.

[Kenneth Chimezie]

The names used was fine. Although the name of the pirate ship was quite scary. To me, names does not really affect the content of the book as long as the author did a good job to make his readers enjoy reading.

Yes, I also found it weird for the author using a name like "Red Witch" and "The Scarlet Mistress" but I eventually grew to like it.

The author did a great job in naming his characters. Also the way the pirate's vessels had unique names made the book all the more interesting.

[Sharon Christanto]

The author did an amazing job with characterization in the book.
I don't put too much attention to names in books. As long as the author doesn't use similar-sounding or similar-spelling names ^^

It did affect my reading. The author really thought the names through. It was like using symbolism. Names like, "The Scarlet Mistress", "The Plague", "The Red Witch" and others depicted these people, things and what they stand for.

To be honest, I found the name "Brandy" to be a real turn-off. I almost didn't get the book. "Brandy" is a name that became popular in the 70s through the mid-80s. It sounds far too modern to be the name of a pirate in the time period of the book. So yes, I think names are sometimes important if they subtly reflect the intended perception of the character.

I like names and the use of titles, it adds an edge to a good story. For example, Captain Eric Erasmus had the title “The Plague.” which was exciting to read in my opinion.

[Mildred Echesa]

The morning star and the Scarlet mistress were my favorite. There isn't much about the names as they fit their characters perfectly.

[AbdiHafidh]

I know Dan's naming preference is top notch. The names didn't influence my reading but definitely captivated my entire read.

[Azubike Richard]

Nothing was special about the name of the book because personally I think it did not capture the entire message the author was conveying to the reader. But it's a very informative book.

[Joe Candle]

I think that the names were constructed in such manner so that that the absolute majority of the readers would find the associations with the characters in the book. The names were constructed in such a manner so that only by reading them, the readers would already have a representation of the character in their minds.

Characterization and names used in a book plays a big role in helping me enjoy a book. Imagine a book having weird names that are hard for me to pronounce. I did get tired of that book real quick. The author sure did a good job with this book. I really enjoyed reading it.
