How to choose ancient Egyptian names for your characters

Place your character in the story

Note when and where your character lives beside their name. These details help you choose their relationships, occupation and place in the story.

Keep characters distinct

Nefertiti and Hatshepsut differ from the start. Compare the first syllables of the names you choose for characters who share a scene.

Try the name in dialogue

Put Nefertiti in a line of dialogue, then in a sentence of narration. Read both passages aloud and keep the spelling consistent in your character notes.
