How to write Zulu Names

Have you ever tried coming up with a good name for a character in your favorite book series? If you’re like, me, then you’ve probably spent hours trying to come up with a Zulu name, but you still end up with the same boring name every time.

I’m here to help you with that problem. I’ve collected some Zulu names from different sources, including novels, movies and comics, which you can use to come up with a name for your characters in your favorite book series.

Here are some tips to create Zulu names.

Keep it Short and Simple

Have you ever tried to come up with a name for a character in a roleplaying game? If so, you know how hard it can be. You begin with a pile of names and eventually you find one that you like, but getting it right the first time is a challenge.

This is because they are long and boring names. You should find names that are short and simple.

It’s a pain to have a long, unwieldy name. You can’t just be Kaitlin or Jane or Taryn. You need something that is specific and not too common.

Make it memorable.

Zulu Names that are short and sweet are usually memorable too. To make a name memorable, make sure it is easy to understand and say aloud. When a name is easy to understand, it automatically fits in the sub conscious mind of people and thus cratering a memory in their mind.

To come to know whether your selected name is memorable or not, say it a few times loudly and you will come to know if it’s memorable or not.

Avoid Difficult Names

Some names are creative but difficult to understand and memorize. Although they looks cool, but they should be ignored. Thus is because they aren’t memorable. People try to avoid all the dwarf names that include hard to spell words.

When a name has a hard to understand and memorize words, it become quite impossible for the audience to understand it.
