THE VERY BIG LIST OF  MELODRAMA NAMES

Here's a compendium of names and monikers for your next Melodrama

We have created this webpage to assist aspiring melodrama writers with the crucial task of character development. In traditional writing, there are numerous reasons for assigning specific names to particular characters, ranging from practical to artistic. However, let's be honest: melodramas are a different beast altogether. They are intentionally exaggerated, often comical, and in this genre, you have the freedom to use outlandish, alliterative, or even downright silly names for your heroes, villains, sheriffs, heroines, and townsfolk.

To help you get started ... I have accumulated a slew of character names for your stories. The beauty of these names is that they embody the character right in the name. For example, "Phil McCavity" is of course the town dentist and "Edinina Clouds" could easily be the clueless best friend of the heroine or even the heroine herself. The names may seem contrived and that actually gives you a head start. You don't need much of a "back story" for your character when her name is "Carmen Geditt" or "Ima Badgirl". Laugh if you will, but this will really help as you begin to write your melodrama.

Take a look at the list below and select a few names that inspire your creativity. These characters will become your new companions throughout your melodramatic journey. You have the power to determine their fate, their dialogue, and their personalities. Choosing their names is just the beginning, so let your imagination run wild. If you happen to think of other melodramatic names not on the list, feel free to email me, and I'll add them to this list. Once you've completed your "Next Great American Melodrama," and you're ready to share it with the world, let me know if you want another set of evyes to reveiw it. To all the aspiring authors out there, feel free to browse this alphabetical list and have fun exploring the possibilities.
