I made a few polls on character names and it’s got me thinking about this topic. I tend to rely very heavily on mixed origin names and so make a lot of mixed nationality characters, because I pick names for their meanings rather than sound and language.

Anyway so that means that for this story I’m writing, out of 6 characters 4 of them have mixed names:
Lani Sansone (Hawaiian/Italian)
Zahir ad-Din Madoc (Arabic/Welsh)
Jinsaem Mahala (Korean/Tumbuka)
Shion Guillot (Japanese/French)
With one fully English name, Madeline Elsegood, and one fully Spanish name, Rio Belmonte Salcedo.

So, in your opinion, does this matter? Is it overkill or not an issue? (Should this have gone in the writing board instead? XD)
