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.
