Should I put last names in a fiction book?

Yes, you should. Using last names can add a sense of formality, realism, and help distinguish characters, especially in complex plots with many characters.

It depends. If your story has a very informal or intimate setting, like a group of close friends in a small community, you might not need to use last names all the time. However, in a more formal or large - scale fictional world, last names can be important. For example, in a story about a royal court or a big corporation, last names can show family connections, social status, and hierarchy. They can also be useful for creating a sense of mystery. Maybe a character is only known by their first name at first, and the revelation of their last name later adds to the intrigue.

It depends on the style you're aiming for. If you want a more hard - boiled detective style, last names are often used to give a sense of professionalism and to clearly define the different players in the mystery. But if you're going for a more cozy mystery feel, you could get away with using mostly first names and only using last names when it really matters, like when revealing a family connection that's key to the mystery.

In fiction, either can be used. Using first names can create a sense of intimacy. For example, in a story about a group of friends, calling them by their first names like 'John' and 'Alice' makes the readers feel closer to the characters, as if they are part of the group. However, using last names can add formality or a sense of distance. In a detective story, the detective might refer to suspects by their last names, like 'Mr. Smith', which gives a more professional and detached feeling.
