Reading Time: < 1 minute

Jules Winnfield. Michael Clayton. Indiana Jones. Curly Sue. Jackie Brown.
What I’m trying to say is unique names for characters matter. Today we’re going to talk about good character names, first names for characters, Disney character names, character name generators, and all things fictional character names.
You’ve written all the action in your screenplay, and you’re getting ready to write some character descriptions and character names. So how can you pick a good character name? And what even makes a character’s name good?
