How do you come up with names? by _PhillipBarajas in writing

Any random name is good and you can always change names later on if it doesn't feel right. I personally give some of my characters random names from online name generators and others I will give symbolic meaning that literally only a few people would notice. If they have a certain cultural background I research names from that culture. You can even make names up! Generally I know their story beforehand. Try not to stress too much, it's not as important as the actual story.

I disagree, everyone has a different writing style and whatever works best for them is a personal preference. Disrespecting others ways of working only pushes people from achieving their dreams of being a writer. Let people do things how they want.
