I'm writing a fantasy novel. The story takes place in England (1900's) No matter how much I research I'm unable to move forward in naming my characters. For example, When we look at all the characters JK Rowling created, their names are so unique and suit to their personalities. My question is Are there any methods to name my characters? Should the naming be based on the period when the story takes place? Should I first develop their personalities and then name them accordingly. Please explain.
