Rules of what not to do at a stoplight.
Kidding, kidding, BUT,
If you want some do's and don't's on how to write, even if my stories aren't the best...
read this book!
DO NOT USE RIDICULOUSLY LONG NAMES OR NEVER USED NAMES IN YOUR STORIES ALL OF THE TIME.
If it relates to your character's origin than great, that's okay to some extent.

What's the problem with having normal names?
I don't know any Nova's or Freya's or anything.
I do know some Nancy's and Ellen's and Diana's, and it's totally cool to have that name.
STEPS ON HOW TO FIX THIS: 1. Think of the people around you, and the characters you have in your book. You can create a name quickly based off the ones around you.
2. You can quickly search, 'name generator' or something like that to get your names. I did that a couple of times and sometimes if gives me inspiration to think of one of my own.
3. It's OKAY to have a common name. Don't think that just because your main character's name is something common that your story is less as extraordinary as anyone else's.
4. Don't have a crazy name as the main or a basic one as the antagonist *cough* Mackenzie *cough*, it makes the story awkward and may even confuse readers.
5. Lastly, DO NOT use the names of popular television or movie series that everyone knows. I'm not naming my character Hermione and you sure as hell aren't getting readers if you name it Zoella!
