Is Dawn a good name for this character?

Question

She is quiet, is a good drawer, plays the violin, is creative, does dancing, is funny in a random way, has lots of friends and has a pretty face.

I guess it'll come down to my own decision, but I'd like some insight from other people =)

Much appreciated,

Paige

Answer 1

Its a great name! I think that it makes her sound more unpredictible though, like just in the way you said she is funnny in a random way.

Answer 2

Ooooohhhh! I LOVE IT!!!

Answer 3

I like it!

Answer 4

Hmm could be, I just hope she's not the 'main' character otherwise it would be a bit too corny, besides its always a good plot when you can link a name to a reason, like she could have an evil brother called Dusk, NOW THAT WOULD BE COOL!!!

Answer 5

She's quiet, plays the violin, dances and has alot of friends?

How about Sybil or Janice, or 'the many talented suicidal over-achiever who will die very soon.' 'Spark' is a better name, all flash, little substance.

Names don't save characters from bad writing. A beautiful girl could be named 'Gertrude' and the name could be perfectly emeshed with who she is and what kind of life she has had, if the author does their job well enough.

If you really want her to stand out, don't give her a name 10 million other little girls have, since you aren't creating someoen like those 10 million other little girls, or whoever she is. Call her Pepper, a spicy name for an active girl, and make her quietness a quirk of her character, something that works against her, adds another spice to her personality. Pepper irritates as much as it encourages, and your character sounds both encouraging and irritating.

Answer 6

Yes, Dawn's a nice name for your character. What about Alivia, Grace, Angeline (short- Angel) and Catherine? I know persons with those names and they're quite like your character.

Answer 7

I think that's a great name for the character that you are describing. It some how has a bit of an air of mystery and that's always important for a girl who is quiet and who is an artist.  

Answer 8

Yea. Dawn is a good name.

Answer 9

I like Dawn for her name

Answer 10

Yes, my aunt's name is Dawn and she is similar to your character lol.
