Best Answer

A good novel, like a good story of any sort, can transcend time and place -- in other words, it is so good that it doesn't matter what the setting is. Stories like A Christmas Carol, The Lord of the Rings, Pride and Prejudice, or Moby Dick are great reads even if they are clearly in a time long ago and some of the ideas in them are out-moded now.

What are good character names for a novel?

For a mild novel, try names like Annabell and Max for the good characters, and names like Brittany and Edward for the bad ones. If its a scary/violent novel, try names like Josephine and Charlie for the good characters, and Velvet and Xavior for the bad ones. Finally, if you were writing a novel that takes place a good chunk of time ago, use names like Elizabeth and Jacob for the good characters, and Nina and Charles for the bad ones.
