The Real-World Impact of Character Names

���What���s in a name?��� Roses, sweet smells, yada yada��� but really, how do you decide what to name your characters?��Maybe you���re one of those authors whose characters spring forth fully formed from your head, �� la Zeus. (Are you there, dad? It���s me, Athena.) Maybe you love names, scouring baby books for meaningful names; and maybe you hate naming your characters.
