[Opinions] Re: When naming your children or characters, what names do you tend to avoid?
When naming characters I try to keep it pretty accurate as to the time period and culture. For example a historical story set in Tudor England the characters would be named Catherine, Alice, and William instead of Jennifer, Melissa, and Jason. I once read a historical romance set in medieval times and female lead was named Alyssa. The name Alyssa probably didn’t exist then.
