[Opinions] Re: Why is “age well” important?
It's important if you want to use the name for a baby. If you give a baby a cute, babyish name, it will fit them for a while but then they'll grow up and it won't work because it will be an adult with a babyish name. It's not important for characters, because if a character is only one age during the book/movie/whatever, the name doesn't have to age. The same goes for "old" names, an old character can have an old person name but a real baby or kid would sound weird with an old person name.
