What is in a name?
I need a name for my main character.
The character is a spoiled brat that gets everything she wants. She throws tantrums and is spoiled to death!
What kind of name describes this?
Thanks and hope it isn't a difficult question.

Brooke seems like a bratty-ish name, hope that helps!

There's a book called the Baby Name Survey Book. Go to the book store and take a look through it. The author surveyed a bunch of people on what sort of impression they had of certain names. Like for example most people think of Ann as a plain, serious person... and Alexis as someone bossy and self-centered. You can look through the book and find a name that most people associate with the type of person you're writing about.

It would help to know what sort of story you're writing. If it's fantasy, then made-up names (or names that come from dead languages) that aren't used in real life might be better, and real names might be better for most anything else.
Real-life names that make me think spoiled are Rebecca, Brittany, Ashley, Rachel, or something similar. These names just sound more pretentious to me.
I'm not good at fantasy names. XD Sorry about that. But if you need more names, type 'baby names' or something like that into Google. There are a lot of websites dedicated to helping people choose names, and they have the meanings of the names, too.
I've had my own problems with naming characters. I hope you find the perfect name! ;D
