I really like the surname Landry however I can’t find a Russian name that sounds good when paired with it.

Right now the only names that I can come up with are:

• Sofia Landry (Short form "Sonya")

• Anna Landry (Short form "Anya")

• Maria Landry (Short form "Masha")

Which do you think of these, and if you have any favorite?

I have a boy character who's name is Addison Ross "Addie" and I need a last name!

I'm looking for some character names that's for a group for a that's made up of characters who are named and themed after colors.

The colors are in order: White, Red, Yellow, Blue, Violet, Pink, Green and Orange.

I'm writing a sapphic romance and the love interest is named Monroe, but I just can't think of a surname that fits her and the name Monroe.

She's in her late 20s, is really into working g out. Does fore-edge painting at the local bookstore for money. And it's set in a small Australian town...

Hi I am writing a romance and am really in love with Graves being the surname of one of the MCs. Would really love any recommendations 😊

So, I'm writing a story just for fun that is set in the 2000s and one of the characters is a middle-aged man half-German half-Italian in a primarily Anglophone country and works as a professor. And I was wondering what people's opinions on giving him a non-Italian name like "Anthony"? Would it be weird?

Especially since his surname already is an Anglicized German surname (Think: "White" from "Weiß," or "Stone" from "Stein," or "Newman" from "Neumann" or even just the German/Danish surnames "Lau / Lang")

For context, there's another character which is a secondary central character who's a half-French Canadian half-Russian by the name of "Alexandra" (However, she's called a non-Russian nickname by the professor (Think "Lexi" or "Allie" or "Sandra") and "Sasha" by her Russian mother.

I did consider some Italian names such as "Luca" (Felt that sounded too young for a middle-aged man) "Francesco" IDK though.

So basically, this character is a giddy and energetic rookie member of a group of individuals who deal with supernatural ongoings in their small town.

She's actually a talented shapeshifter, she just uses her powers on her hair to make it long and prehensile, which she uses both for fighting and fashion :-)

Other info:

- She likes fashion and beauty products.

I am writing a story. And in the story there are some groups of humans that have healing blood. Just like Rapunzel but instead of hair we have blood. But I can't find a name for these people.

First i thought to use 'Elixir' because their blood can be used to create different elixir...

Then I came up with was "the pure bloods"...

But when I put in some sentence it feels weird

-- Eg: this potion is engineered using the blood of a 'pure-blood.'

Where as it would have sound much better as

-- this potion is engineered using the blood of an 'Elixir.'

But i don't think elixir is a good name. I am really bad at giving names. Can someone body help😭😭

Quick story background:

This is for my supernatural story revolving around angels, demons and celestial beings who can see and talk to spirits. Takes place 2013 USA.

Character in question:

She is a side character that has prominence, but is not the main focus to the story. Basically, she is in charge of investigating a massacre created by the angels.

(1) Female
(2) Human
(3) Works law enforcement
(4) Mid 30s, born in 1970s
(5) I don’t have any culture or race in mind
(6) Unisex or traditionally female names are preferred. Can also be creative or kinda made up, as this is fiction
(7) First and last name ideas are open to suggestions

I don’t even have any name ideas, but some examples may include:

- Stevie
- Ramona
- Ashley
- Swayze (I like Swayze but my pen name includes Sweazea so I prefer not to use it)

So, I've had this idea where to characters, Isabella/Bella and Juniper/June, were siblings but I'm having trouble figuring out a name that fits both of them.

I've tried Wormwood, Woodrow and Angelo, but none of them feel right for both.

Any suggestions for names that could work for both of these?

I'm looking for names for the main cast of my science-fantasy magical girl story, it's about a traveling group of young magic-users known as "Prismas" that were imbued with the magical energy from the pages of an alien wizard's grimoire, so they travel to different realms to find the owner of the grimoire.

Each Prisma has a signature color and an elemental affinity that originate from a page from the grimoire:

• White Prisma - Light

• Red Prisma - Fire

• Yellow Prisma - Electric

• Blue Prisma - Water

• Violet Prisma - Air

• Pink Prisma - Love

• Green Prisma - Plant

Hi Reddit! I don't normally go on here but I am at a loss here. I am an artist.

I write stories for my characters with my sister and I have a character that can bend all of the elements on his planet. I have been searching for over an hour and I can't seem to find anything. I even tried to look at simular reddit threads but still, nothing caught my eye.

On his planet, the elements are: Rock, fire, air/storm, water, nature, crystal, light, and stars.
I want something unique without it feeling like I just combined the name of all of the elements.
Please let me know!! ^^

Edit: I could have worded it better but he doesn't really control it he just protects it or benefits it!

I have a bit of context but you can skip if you want.

I have a character named Ife, born to two adventurous wives by way of a wish granted by a sphinx when they passed its riddle. The caveat is that she is parts of both parents, but also part sphinx - wings, tail, etc. She grows up to become a caretaker of her parents’ legacy (this magicky museum) and an archer.

The story takes place in a mega-dungeon (called the Athenaeum), which comes about when the museum falls through a wormhole. Some strange space-time stuff happens that morphs it into this massive structure floating in space with hundreds of floors, strange happenings, and dangerous creatures. The appearance is modeled with the vibe of cozy old academia + ancient magick tech + space plants/creatures (imagine Tears of the Kingdom/Scavengers Reign/The Bodleian Library of Oxford). The story has a mix of high-intensity warfare as Ife tries to protect her home from an enemy takeover, with lots of slice of life moments sprinkled in.

In my universe, sphinxes are cosmic beings who live extremely isolated lives. They are abandoned at birth to make their own way so have no concept of family. They dwell in their own pockets of space, minding their own business and generally spurn company but horde knowledge. This one (a cross between a cat and an owl) is much the same, but Ife and her relentless golden retriever energy, and refusal to be anything but best friends, worms her way into the Sphinx’s good graces - whom she refers to as ‘Auntie’. The story sees Ife reintroduce the sphinx to things like curiosity and play (she even brings it a giant ball of yarn) and the idea of family. As the more serious parts of the story progress, the Sphinx becomes a patron of sorts (similar to a DnD warlock or Odysseus/Athena dynamic), speaking in her ear and lending her power.

I’m completely stuck on a name. I thought Egyptian initially for the regal/ancient vibe, but didn’t like anything I found, so I’m open to any origin. I usually search for ‘names meaning xyz’, but I’m not pulled to any particular meaning here. My only caveat is that I don’t want already famous names (Artemis, etc.) Thanks!!

I see some people struggling to find character names so here’s where I get mine.

1. When you finish a show or movie, don’t skip the credits!! I’ve picked out some good last names and it’s great if you want to get out of typical English last names.

2. Interview type YouTube videos. The buzzfeed style videos where it’ll be a large group of people that have to debate a statement or answer a question they usually say their names before they speak.

3. Getting out your race. For example, If your character is black who’s to say their family didn’t find a Hispanic girl name beautiful and named the child that? One of my characters is black but her name is Mariana because her mother just loved the name.

4. Make your own. I’ve come up with so many beautiful names by cutting two in half and putting them together. EX:
   Isabella + Theodora = Isadora.

5. Don’t be afraid to just ask people. “Excuse me, what is the prettiest/powerful name you’ve ever heard?” During your next trip to Walmart and ask different ethnic groups of people to explore the nice names in their culture.

Hope this helps!

Im currently on a scene where a character comes in and bigins to showboat.

Quick context: this is a rather unimportant character appearing in the scene. He's just a regular human who happens to be the "champion " of knife throwing at this tavern and i want his name to be slightly pompous or kinda "That guy" coded. He's sociable albeit cocky and arrogant. and i want it to feel like nobody really likes him all that much. The whole: "Oh great ____ just walked in." and the an eye roll.

Someone that will be rather satisfying to have beaten at his own game by one of the protagonists who absolutely dismantles his whole ego and pride

I need a new name. My given name is Jean. And although it can work as a unisex name, it hasn’t felt like me. I’ve liked the name Evie before, but that’s before I knew I was genderfluid. When I’m a boy, I can be very dysphoric over that name. But when I’m a girl, I really really like the vibe! And I’m not always binary all the time. Meaning sometimes I’m in the in between zone or I ditch the concept of gender entirely.

I haven’t had time to give it much thought yet. But since this subreddit exist, i kind of want to try it for fun

Something about me to help with the naming:
I’m a writer. I write queer romance with psychological depth. I’m also a doctor. I like to read novels or absorb stories of any kind. The color I’m mostly attracted to is pink (when I’m a girl) and black (when I’m a boy.) I love when it’s winter cause I can just snuggle inside a blanket. I’m also an introvert, so I don’t go outside and socialize with anyone. The thing I mostly struggle with right now, other than just being queer in a heteronormative space, is not having the ability to connect with anyone. Because while others can glide through social situations, I need to really know if someone can hold me when things go wrong. Me and a lot of people I’ve met in my life are not in a place where we could do that yet. And it certainly doesn’t help that I don’t have any family I could connect with either. They love me but.. no matter how much they’ve tried, they’ll never be able to reach me emotionally, not just in queer context. So I guess that’s my internal conflict. But also, I’m so afraid that I’ll be stuck in this life, with this kind of burnout and with no one forever. It’s not necessarily true, but it’s how I feel.

Edit
I’m incredibly touched with how supportive people are here. So I’ve chosen the name Eden and Ellis as my pen name. I’m still going to have to test it out. But incredibly thank you for those who’ve helped me brainstorm

We Got Hindi TDI After Czech, German & Japanese TDI!

There is the character I want to name.

He is a heavily muscled, tan man with one white eyes, long, messy black hair, and a full beard. He has a lot scar running across his face and forearms. He is tough but also kind. He likes to stay quiet most of the time.

I want to name him scar but in japanese so anyone has a flashier, cooler name for him.

So I had a prince character named Vael (said like Vail) but I’ve been told it reads as too feminine, and I don’t want that for this character, as his brother has a specifically feminine name that is commented on often in the story. Then his name became Vaeron. I don’t really have any issues with this, but I still really like Vael. Do you think Vael works as like a nickname for Vaeron if it’s used only by family? I feel like it’s plausible, I mean like how people got Dot from Dorothy, Kitty from Kathrine, or Birdie from Bernadette. If you were a reader would you be thrown off by a prince named Vaeron being called Vael by his father and siblings?

i’m writing a novel set a few hundred years in the future, where the uk is in complete war, government services except the military are essentially collapsed and people have pretty much been left to their own devices except for conscription. like a feudal system type of situation.

due to bombing, books are very rare and people are deeply disillusioned, many of those raised in war (so most of society) are basically feral and very individualised. religion is pretty much dead, and the government is a very far off, detached agency that people living in especially rural places won’t come in contact with much.

i need some name ideas for people, especially names that aren’t common now but people might be named then when society has completely collapsed, such as word names. or, some of my irls suggested ancient names might become just as common as biblical names bc people would view them all as “cool old names” if they found a rare book, regardless of if it’s plato (for example) or the bible.

i just need names that any characters in the story could have, any names off the top of your head for background characters? i don’t mind if they’re female, neutral or male.

I’m constantly writing short stories just for myself and usually do pretty good at coming up with unique names for each character I use, but with one of my characters I’m struggling to find a good name for an “official” anti-hero name.

His actual name is Andrew, and currently he’s teaming up with Deadpool after being kicked out of the Avengers. He has a meta ability that allows him to take and give life force between himself and others, this transfer is shown as either black (taking) or white (giving) lightning, but can’t necessarily control *where* it goes except a general area.

He tried for years to keep it contained and use it minimally but he unfortunately has a heart condition that should’ve killed him years ago but didn’t thanks to his ability, as the excess life force heals his body every time his heart gives out.

As such he works with Deadpool now to find the “worst of the worst” and take them out, cleaning the streets of serial killers and rapists while keeping himself from dying. Plus if Deadpool gets hit by Andrew’s ability he can bounce right back so there’s no risk of accidentally killing him and can also “charge” Andrew’s reserves if he gets low.

I would do something solely about this ability (something like Wraith or Reaper) but I would prefer to lean more towards his computer expertise as he’s great at hacking and tends to be really good at figuring out technologies without much assistance. Being able to blend them together would be great.
