This topic is for character names and suggestions, because names can be hard.

Devote reddamus!So, I have a character, human, 15ish, dark brown hair and eyes, pale skin, 5 ft 7, very dramatic and generally odd, and an aspiring writer. She needs a name. Suggestions would be welcome.

#AnduthForever (hopefully 💕)I’ve mentioned before that I am not great at naming, but if you are looking for a unique fantasy name, here is something I sometimes do. Think of a word that describes your character. You mentioned that she is dramatic, so you could use that as your starting point. Next, choose a couple of languages. I generally go for Latin, and then I pick a less well-known language called Cree (spoken by the natives that live in Canada). I then would find out what that starting word is in those languages, or words with similar meanings until I find one in each language that I like and that feels like it fits the character. I then will try to combine the two words into one.
I was going to give you an example of this, I have a character named Tyn Meritinox, and her last name means stubborn, for she is a stubborn character. However, I could not find the Latin and cree words that I combined to make this back. Sorry.
Ah, names. Not my strong suit but here’s a few:
Faye (means fairy in Irish), Veronica, Estelle, Aurora
"No! Monkeys should have pets, all monkeys should have pets!"
Arwen, Lucy, Mistie, Wren
Lindy
Also, you can’t use this one. It’s copyrighted.

Help!
I need a name for a really, really sweet guy. Dark hair, brown eyes, I imagine mid tone skin at the moment with some teal to blue to maybe even purple scales in small groups of five or less on his cheek and arms. Well-spaced. He’s one of Alpha’s and Silkana’s sons if that means anything to you. Has fifty-two siblings at the moment, so something exotic so that it’s remembered may be in order.
Thanks!
why do I feel like I’m ordering a custom leather belt or something?!"You need French Toast."
#AnduthForever (hopefully 💕)Hmmm…. Idk maybe:
- Reed or Reid
- Itzak
- Mekhi
- Iokua (yo-koo-ah)
- Nasir
- Arturo
- Vihaan
- Yahir
Well… if those are too “rough sounding”, I can try to come up with “softer/sweeter” ones, if you want. 😊

Thank you for your suggestions! Her name is Ayla. Loopylin, is Lindy your name? TheShadow, I actually have an Estelle. XD

Devote reddamus!So, I know it’s not the most exotic on your list (five stars for unique names, thank you) but I started calling Reid in my head just to see how it fit, and after a couple days, I have decided Reid is the name for him. Than you for your assistance!
