A dream within a dream is on a distinguished road
Introducing character in first person view point

I am having problems introducing my character, as in her name. So far I have written about four pages but I need to somehow put her name in. Now I know that I need it in the first few paragraphs but I am stuck as to how. Nothing that I have tried has sounded right to me. I am writing it through her eyes. If somebody could help with any ideas I would be very appreciative. Thank you for your time.

How about her talking to someone, or someone is shouting her name to get her attention or whatever

Yeah, showing us the pages will help considerably, if we're to give you a hand

Send a message via MSN to mammamaia
as noted above, she can be addressed by name by some other character... or...

you can show a letter she wrote to someone, including the signature

she can get some mail addressed to her

she can be looking through a scrapbook that contains notes or articles including her name

she can have her name embroidered on some article of clothing or printed on a work badge

she can be talking to herself and say her own name [pretty trite]

or any number of other ways you can think of, if you really try...
