The Mega Book of Character and Pen Names was created the old-fashioned way—long before AI technology became widespread. Using extensive word lists from U.S. Census data, Social Security records, and baby name books, I carefully compiled this resource through a drawn-out, hands-on process. Even today, AI technology struggles to generate truly compelling character and pen names, in my opinion, making this collection a valuable tool for writers who want names that feel authentic and meaningful.

The Mega Book of Character and Pen Names is part of my Writer’s Helper series, a collection of resources designed to spark creativity and assist writers in crafting unforgettable characters and titles. Every book in this series was written without the use of AI, relying instead on research gathered from my long-running blog, which I’ve been writing since the early 2000s. Check out my writing blog posts here, where you will find a vault of useful word lists to help with your writing process.
