I've got a few short stories going, and I've foregone naming any of my characters. It started because I just didn't have any good names in my head and I was going to take care of it later, but now I'm considering leaving them all nameless. It's worked well for the first four stories, but I have between ten and twelve stories in mind for this collection, and I am wondering if I should just continue without naming anyone. Most of my stories have between two and four characters, and so far I've been able to get away with referring to them by one or two traits. For instance, > - The man in the pink shirt > - The woman in the Claims Department > - The second boyfriend I realize that these names are kind of generic, but it works. So far. I would like to know if anyone has any feedback about the relative merits of an entire collection of stories (or at least about 10) without named characters.
