Names in the book

[Jordan Abio]

Names don't affect my enjoyment of a book. Generic names are not bad in books but I think the names given to characters should be unique. Unique names stand out and can be easily remembered by readers. Brandy, Ballad of a Pirate Princess has many unique names. Some of these names include; The Red Witch, The Morning Star, The Pirate Princess, The Plague, and The Scarlet Mistress.

I have a belief that a name should mean something, so when you name a character, there should be a reason why you name it that way. While some authors don't put too much thoughts into names, I've read books in which names contain a lot of philosophy, if not mere wordplay. It is actually fun to figure out why or how a character gets their name. In this book, however, I think the names are pretty generic and common, though there may be exceptions.

Most of the names were insignificant for me, but I did enjoy the pirate nicknames. I thought those names gave an insight into the character, even if only met the character briefly.

[Osazuwa Ogbebor]

The names used in the book were popular names. OK, maybe the name of the ship, "Red Witch", which was kind of weird, Lols.

[Itz Savaga]

The unique names most definitely added spice to the story. From The Red Witch to The Plague to The Scarlet Mistress, they brought a sense of familiarity with the persons or things being referred to.

I really enjoy reading a book where characters objects or places are named purposefully to specify a quality about that character, object or place. It piques the imagination of the reader and the reader can have a better understanding about that. I think author has done a good job in choosing interesting names which help in the characterization.

Naming as part of characterization plays a small part in my enjoyment of a book, although I also do appreciate names that suit characters.

[Elijah0007]

I do feel giving a book's characters distinctive names does help improve the reader's experience, well, it does for me. Though, having unique character names shouldn't be considered a 'top priority'.

[Stephanie Kanu]

The names were unusual. I especially liked the name, Ralphine. Sounds refreshing. A lot of names in the book also enhanced its flavor. But then, what's a pirate book without a few oddities?

[Prodigy 28]

I think the names in this novel fit the characters Personality.

[Lily_flower_the_reader]

The names are beautiful and quite unique, one like Davonte, quite a unique name.

[Mwatu]

Names, unless they are quirky or funny, don't do much for me. Characterisation, however, can make or break a book for me. It is in the characterisation that visualisation is supported and if the characterisation is done poorly, then I find it hard to follow and enjoy the book.

[Emmanuel Anyalewechi]

I didn't see anything special in the names used by the author. I will still enjoy the book if the names used are substituted.

[Mariam K 7]

For me the names are quite normal and ordinary, this is probably because I do not give a big load to names like you. However it is an interesting position and after that I think I will pay more attention to this part.

Characterization is really important in following the plot line. When you use confusing names, it's difficult to follow up. The names were endearing, simple and unique.
