Bibliophile’s Collective Tuesday – Name that Character – Help Needed

February 25, 2020

I am asking for help naming my heroine in my steampunk novel, The Commodore’s Gift. I have named her Owena but need to know your thoughts. I used Owena as it is a Welsh name meaning  young warrior.

The images above are for reference only, to give you an idea of how I envisage her.

To give you some background on her – here are a few things about her.

1. Comes from a upper middle class family background but not super wealthy.

2. Her mother died when she was young.

3. She was brought up by her father and older brother – they allowed her to learn from ‘manly’ literature, practice sword play and was more ‘tomboy’ than debutante.

4. She is feisty, adventurous and opposed to a conventional female role in society.

5. She stands up for herself.

Comment below with your suggestions. Thanks for taking part.

  1. I like the name Owena. I think you should keep it. It has significance, and she is your creation. You wouldn’t want anyone else naming your kids or your pets. Naming a protagonist can be (almost) equally personal. She soulds like an interesting character. I look forward to the read.
