I genuinely pity any children who I have to name.
Not because they'd get awkward, or embarrassing names, but I can never decide on names. Heck, I tried writing a short story (about 50 pages by the end of it), hardly any of the main characters had names. They were listed as [Pro],[Vil],[Hen],[Boss], which were, respectively, the protagonist (Hero), villain, henchman and the hero's boss.

Suppose, unlike my story, I can't just leave them unnamed for years to come. They'd probably end up with "old posh English names", like Henry, or Bertie, Arthur... If you only do what you can do, you will never be more than you are now.

I used to struggle with names as well for my stories, which lead to one of my biggest novels this far having completely unnamed protagonist and the 2 other important characters were named by my friends.
However, I eventually started writing another story and just came up with some names and it soon started feeling easier to come up with good names.
