Why Maid Names?
A maid is an integral part of society. Maids can also be great plot devices as they are the one person within the household who can look at it from a third-person perspective.
Their detached commentary makes them a very reliable narrative. As the maid is a strong character, the names associated with maids are also important. Naming your maid gives her a bit of a background, her own story, and her identity.
It also makes the character much more memorable. Check out our list of maid names to get inspiration when naming your characters.
