Choose a Name Based on its Meaning<\/strong><\/p>\n To add more subtext to your character, pick a name that easily symbolizes or signifies the character\u2019s role in the story. An example would be, if the character in your adventure or action-packed screenplay is a mentor, a guide to the protagonist, or a knowledgeable person who has authority, you may want to consider naming this character Sage.<\/p>\n Even if you do not choose to name your character by meaning, it is still smart to look up and know the literal definition of all your characters\u2019 names.
