What Names Should I Choose?

Naming my characters

Can be so hard to do.

Should I name one Louise

Or for short, call her Lou?

I like to give their names meaning

Something that reflects their character,

Like a fiery girl named Amber

Or a shy girl named Lavender.

But maybe some names

Are too on the nose

Like Maleficent, Goodfellow

Or Innocent Rose.

Despite the difficulty, 

I love to employ

My naming skills

To find names I enjoy.

I would love to name a character

Paisley or Maisy

Or Mosie or Posey

Or Hailey or Daisy.

I could name one Deborah

And another could be Yihana.

Another could be Alisa

And another could be Ayanna.

I could name characters

Zackary or Titus

Or Bebo, or Norman

Or Orion or Situs.

I could name one Kazimir

And still another Veggie,

Or Zeus or Atlas

Or maybe just Reggie.

So many names,

So many choices!

I still have yet to think

Of their stories and character voices!

I should come up

With a name as a placeholder

So I can focus on the story

And see if I like it as it gets older.

But what should be

My placeholder name?

Should it be Victoria, Arachnophobia,

Or Unquechable Flame?
