For my WIP (which has nothing to do with Star Trek and isn't even sci-fi), I named all the characters after #startrek characters or the actors who portrayed them. Totally fun.

That's such a creative approach! It must have been a lot of fun weaving those names into your story. Do you find that using familiar names helps you connect with your characters in a unique way?

Never really thought about it in that way, but now that I have, I guess it does!

That’s interesting! Do you think you’ll use this method in future projects or try something new?

It's either based on people around me or popular movies i like.

Interesting! Do you find it shapes their personalities or just fits the story’s setting?

eliasthe1.bsky.social•33 days ago

story setting mostly and a bit of there personality.

That makes sense! A well-chosen name can really bring a character to life and enhance the story's vibe.
