It can be hard to name characters in your story, but it doesn't have to be. Names follow fairly simple conventions, like how English names are usually organized with a first, middle, and last name. The characters in your novel might not use that naming system, but it's likely they'll have some kind of consistency, and establishing a way to name characters might help you out in the long run!
