From Literary Names
In real life, first names are usually chosen
by parents or godparents or
—
in the case of
some nineteenth-century servants
—
imposed
by employers. Births are by statute registered
by name at a registry, and the registrar may
disallow the proposed given name if it seems
outrageously foolish or cruel. Surnames,
however, are in Britain part of the inheritance
of a child, who bears the name passed on
from paternal ancestors, either directly or
according to a patronymic rule. But names in
literature are not inherited like this: a fictional
characters name must be found or invented
—
if, that is, the character is to be named at all.
The novelist Joyce
Cary once
told Wallace
Robson he thought it a good working rule that
characters should not be named unless they
play a part in the story.
This is a point of some importance: many
writers find it impossibly difficult to select the
right name for a character. For the true name
must perfectly suit a character who as yet does
not fully, or even definitely, exist. To arrive
at this right name the writer must relinquish
shadowy alternatives
—
between which there
has up till now been secret hesitation
—
and
must embrace one, newly definite, character.
Naming a fictional character thus calls for more
knowledge than the writer had when earlier,
vaguer drafts were sketched. Yet many writers
cannot get started until they have names,
however provisional these may be. Kingsley
Amis agonized over using Margaret (Philip
Larkin s friend s name) in Lucky Jim. He seems
to have wanted a real name with associations
he knew. J. R. R. Tolkien had similar difficulties
with The
Hobbit;
at one stage Bilbo Baggins
ran a serious risk of being called Bingo .
