Is Dillan the right choice of name for a female character who is a tomboy?
I'm writing a series of books about a set of twins but these past few days I've been wondering if I've made the right choice of name for my main female character because when people ask about the characters they assume it is a guy until I say "she" or "her".
Some basic info on her is that she was born on New Years Day. She has a twin called Kingston and she grew up with her Dad, Kingston and her oldest brother, Nickel.She likes heavy metal and usually raids her brothers' wardrobes.
Help please! I really can't decide if I've made a good decision
The first sign of a writer's own personal criticism is that they begin to dislike their own characters and/or character designs.
I do like the name, and you should keep it as long as you don't mind the constant confusion of the main character's gender. Perhaps, because she is such a tomboy, you should give her a little bit more of a Feminine name. Nothing too girly like Jasmine or Isabella, but something a little less confusing. Make sense?
Or, if you don't agree with that, then give the character a more feminine name, but give her a masculine nickname to go with the tomboy persona. For example: her name could be Samantha; her nickname is Sam or Sammy. Oh! And here's an idea: she could prefer being called Sam, and to go with the tough, tomboyness, she could get into people's faces when they call her "Samatha." Just a suggestion.
Hope I helped!
