Writing Adolescent Fiction/Character names
Please do not change the names listed in each category, as your edit will be reverted. Instead, add it to the list for each category, or if you want to change it, leave a message in the talk page of the respective category.
Also please make sure that you add it in the correct sub category; don't assume that every name is so common to come in the 'Most common names' or similar. Additionally, make sure that you add the name in such a way that they are in alphabetical order. |
