Character Name
Uchenna
Uchenna A name meaning "the mind of God" or "God's will" places the character as the expression of a divine intention. In fiction this creates characters who often feel called or destined — and the interesting dramatic question is always whether that sense of divine purpose is a source of strength, a delusion, or an unbearable weight that the character must either carry or set down.
