Re: Name Ideas for a Female Character, Personality Below (Science Fiction)
Avoid fashionable names. Use the popularity charts on this site. A name like Ashleigh or Sandra will immediately date your character, and however brave and intelligent etc she may be, your readers will instinctively dress her in 1990s clothes (Ashleigh) or 1940s clothes (Sandra). Try for a name that has either never left the top 100 or has never arrived there.
