Hi everyone!
I just found out recently that I like making up names. But I can’t use most of the names I make up because I don’t write fantasy so I don’t have any need for cool/unusual/just plain weird names. But I do know the troubles that come with naming a character, and thought that maybe someone here who has a character with a missing name would like my names and put them to use.
So I thought I’d start a topic where people can post names they like, preferably not real names, which can be used in fantasy stories. Anyone who likes the names can take them and use them in their own stories, and it’s okay if more than one person likes the same name – it will just mean there will be two stories out there with the same unusual name, making the name a little less unusual! 🙂
I will start with a list of mine, but my list is so long I will have to break it up into a couple of separate posts. 🙂
"Sylvester - Sylvester!"
Ok, here are my girls names! I looked a couple of them up in case, and found that one or two had been used before, but very rarely, if at all.
- Carill
- Shirae
- Lisilan Funespie
- Kirlas
- Tayice
- Carean
- Janyn Galler
- Rochellyn Mars
- Lizev

"Sylvester - Sylvester!"
Boys names!

- Nnesim
- Glorald j’Eannor
- Jeale Carain
- Dylar
- Loruss
- Lorever
- Jamalon
- Javal

"Sylvester - Sylvester!"
These are kind of weird names that I think can be used for bad guys, strange creatures, or sidekicks:
- Grogalmon
- Shmagojo
- Hokedoda
- Buddle
- Budley Ebsle
- Clomark
- Dvonzig
- Dirbojean
And lastly, here are a few that aren’t in any category.
- Gorley
- Allyjun
- Juraine
- Marthek
- Jana Neader
- Landke Gabis
"Sylvester - Sylvester!"
Wow, that was a lot.
Anyway, I hope some people like some of these names and can put them to good use! 🙂

*gasps* @rochellaine, you’re the best!! I write fantasy, but I’m horrible at making up names. Thank you so much for these lists! I’ll definitely use some of these names in my fantasy story.
@waterlily That’s great! Which ones do you like best? I want to know if anyone has the same favorites as I do.
(I actually held back on my favorite of favorites. I am going to try to use it in one of my own stories, because I love it so much.) 🙂

@rochellaine
Cool 😀 I like Jana Neader. Though I don’t really have any characters that I could use it for.and I was so confused
…….That was weird……..
TAKE TWO! *claps clapperboard*
Thanks @rochellaine! I might actually use some of those for my novella! (assuming I ever get back to it……)
Anyway, can I drop in some names, too?
Girls (I got these from a book, mostly)
- Airow
- Aine
- Altair
- Ashe
- Vekka
- Cleo
- Dae
- Dove
- Elke
- Fae
- Faune
- Ginger
- Greer
Boys (made up/picked up from places)
- Viktor (favorite name)
- Peder
- Asher
- Rodrik
- Ahmot
- Roz
- Nero
- Tink
- Rhedd
- Adric
And just for good measure let me tag @his-instrument
Feel like giving names, Hannah? 😉
You can pronounce it however you want.
@notawriter Cool. What type of person do you think Jana Neader is, though? Is it a hero or heroine, or a sidekick or mentor? I think it could sound kind of forbidding and be a “dark lord” or something, but could also be sweet and sympathetic. 🙂
@dekreel Those are cool names! I like Airow, Dae, and Adric a lot! I was kind of thinking for this topic to be mostly newly invented names, since you can find a lot of real (but cool-sounding) names on any baby name website. However, the names you selected are really nice, and though I don’t think I could use Airow, I might use Dae sometime. 🙂 By the way, let me know if you do decide to use my names. I’d like to hear they’re getting used. 🙂"Sylvester - Sylvester!"
@rochellaine Great idea!!! I have a few…
Girls: Lenna, Mern, Andraya
Boys: Den, Boren, Remiro (rem-EAR-oh)
Kinda weird, but…*shrugs*.

@rochellaine
Hmm Idk. Names are kind of a weird thing. Like they have a large impact on how you perceive the character but then also I feel like one name could go to so many completely different characters. Y’know what I mean? although for me its the kind of name I would give to a hero. (or heroine) 🙂and I was so confused
@rochellaine This is the bestiest! *flailing* Here are some names I’ve dreamed up but will never use:
Ero
Driana
Romanique ( roh-man-EEK. I don’t know if this is a boy’s name or a girl’s…)
Ivari
Larik
Arax
Railos
Evina

@daughteroftheking @ingridrd I love those names!!!!!
@rochellaine *talking to self* She likes Adric…. SHE LIKES ADRIC!!!!!!!!! Sorry, Adric is a Dr Who character’s name, and you know how we Whovians are……..You can pronounce it however you want.
@ingridrd I really like Mern. It sounds unusual, and would make a character unique, I think.
@daughteroftheking Driana is really pretty and I LOVE Larik! I hope someone writes a story with someone named Larik just so I can read it and relish in the name. 🙂
@dekreel Um, I’ve never met a Whovian, but my brother is a Trekker…"Sylvester - Sylvester!"
