Character Names That Mean… // Wednesday Whatevers

Hello everyone, I hope you’re having a lovely morning, afternoon, or evening! I recently saw a video listing various character names that mean different things, and I was like, ‘hey, I’m a writer with a writing blog; why don’t I make a little list to help out other writers who look at my writing blog!’ So here we are! I’ve compiled a list of eight different words with a few names that mean it (if that makes sense, lol). And, of course, at the end of this post, you’ll find a neat little (downloadable) graphic that you can save and refer to anytime you need. Enjoy!

P.S. I got all these names and meaning from Babynames.com, a great resource for character naming and such.
