I hate names. I really, really, really hate names. I'm trying to write a story and the title on the main character is 'Campeador'. He is not called by his first name, and for the first part of the story he doesn't even know it. I must call him just Campeador.
I feel like repeating Campeador over and over or 'him' over and over just makes for tedious reading. I really don't like using things like 'the expert swordsman' instead of him or Campeador, because it makes it look a little cheap.
So the lesson here is to make sure you have a title, first name, last name, nickname, and profession for your main character.
