Stephenie Meyer Talks Naming Renesmee

“I was lost in fantasy land,” she told EW shortly after the Breaking Dawn-Part 2 panel. “I’m someone who strongly believes in reality with real children’s names. You don’t monkey around with people’s names. Whether they become a stripper or a lawyer in large part has to do with the name you give them. I think you have to be responsible with your kids’ names. I would never name a real child Renesmee.”

But, Meyer pointed out, the child of Edward and Bella could never have an ordinary name. “I could not have named this child Lindsay. You name her something that already exists and it’s wrong. You have to pick a name that was completely and totally unique which opens you up to some heckling.” She laughed. “I’ve taken my heckling! I totally get it.”
