      @ariella-newheart   Oh, I feel you.  I’ve struggled with this a bit myself.  🙂

      The first names that came to mind: Leslie (both), Dara (girl), Parker (boy), Delphine (girl), Red (both), Marcus (boy), Georgia (girl).

      Hope those help!

        @ariella-newheart Are your characters male or female? 🙂

          @ingridrd Ah, I might use the name Marcus. Thanks!


          @rochellaine
          Oops, I guess I should have specified that. I’m changing the names of two male characters, and possibly one female character. 😀

              @rochellaine I actually like Shirae! Tatali, too, but I already have another character whose name is similar to that. I may use it, thank you!

                @rochellaine  @ingridrd  @kaya-young  @waterlily  @anyone

                I need a girl’s name that very unusual and very foreign-sounding. Almost alien. But not ugly. The names I came up with are: Ranwyn/Rhanwyn, Jewyn, Lenwyn, or something similar. Or not. 😛 Anything will do just fine!

                And if I don’t use any of those, does anyone know a word in a different language that means “caretaker?” That would be cool, too.

                Any ideas?

                You can pronounce it however you want.

                  @dekreel I just did a multi-language search of the word “Caretaker” and came up with some pretty cool names.  (I hope you meant for a girl. 🙂 ) So I’ll put the actual word first, and then the possible name ideas into which it could be modified.

                  Ouium could be modified to Ouia

                  Pahak (Paki?) (If it’s actually a boy, Pahak or Paki should work for a boy too.)

                  Atezain (Zaina, Atinez)

                  Wosamalira (Wolira, Malira, Alira, Lira)

                  Pavadonis (Pava, Donisa, Pavis)

                  (my favorite) Kaitiak (Kaitia, Kaki, Katiki, Tiaki)

                   

                  Like any of these?

                    @dekreel Oh, I forgot to say that Kaitia would probably be pronounced similar to Letitia with the “t” making a “sh” sound. But not necessarily. 🙂

                          I need short, sweet fantasy names for a girl. Thanks in advance!

                            @kaya-young,

                            do you want them with meanings too? if so, what type of meanings are you looking for?

                              @alia  Ummm…

                              Well this is for a brand new story idea (born this morning!) so I just wanted something I could call her. So far all I know about her is that she’s a rebellious princess who lives in a fantasy kingdom near the sea, and she is about 16.

                              I like to base my characters around their names, so meanings would be great!

                                Alright, I think I gave you a few to many names. I tend to get over excited when looking at names. But I’m going to give you one more that I really like, and ended up using for Her.

                                Delmira: Noble protector

                                Hope this helps
