Tuesday Book Chat | 17 March 2026

Welcome to Tuesday Book Chat.

This is where we encourage book lovers to answer our bookish question of the week. As we are a faith-based group the questions refer mainly to Christian fiction or non-fiction.

Today’s question is:

Would you prefer a character name after you or choose a character’s name?

We look forward to hearing your thoughts. Please join in the conversation by commenting on this post or on the blog post shared in our Australasian Christian Writers Facebook Group. Remember to comment today on Tuesday Book Chat to enter the giveaway.

Let’s chat!

Personally, I would rather get to choose a name. I have read a book with my whole name (Jenny Blake) and it pulls me out of the book. She was a side character so not in it a lot but enough that I don’t want to be a main character. Choosing a name is always fun. I have done it a few times and it’s always fun seeing the name I choose in the book.

Your turn.

I look forward to reading your comments here or at the FB group.
