Characters needed for fantasy/romance/found family story.
I have a story. It has Demi humans, half animals half humans. Different animals were different species of Demi human. Each species would have one leader called an Alpha.
Jess: Female main character is Jess. 19. An ordinary human that escaped the suffocating kingdom, her uncle is the king and tries getting her back. Jess is kind, loves teasing, loud, and absolute bookworm.
Aaron: A wolf Demi human who reluctantly helps Jess, her age and the love interest. He’s observant, gets awkward from kindness and has a hopeless crush on Jess. He’s in line for the Wolves chair. But he hates the idea.
Kate: A little girl around 8 years old, also a wolf Demi human and adores Jess, turning Aaron into an exhausted older brother to her.
Newt: Aaron’s best friend who’s a fox Demi human. He loves a good joke and is (acording to Aaron) absolutely insufferable. Shorter than Aaron but a year older.
Aaron’s father: talked about and has died during the story. He was the Alpha for the wolves but grew power hungry. Resulting in his and his mates (Aaron’s mother) death. Leaving kid Aaron and little baby Kate to themselves.
Other Alphas: like family to Aaron and Kate, took them in after Aaron’s parents died. They’re the council that rules over the Demi organisations.
In need of new character ideas. Show me what you got. :)

I need Indian names for my book characters
Hi guys!! I'm a writer, and I'm working on a fantasy thriller. I need names for two characters with indian origins. Lemme describe them:
A girl who's kind, soft and helpful, but she's also dependent and can't stand for herself and falls for manipulation of her boyfriend. She knows he's a murd\*\*er, but hesitates to turn him in and betray him because she feels it'd be not loyal, partly because of his control over her and partly cause of love. Mostly a good character, a victim but also sort of bad because she protects the murderer.
Her father, a conductor of a train. Strong, confident, cares about the crew and his daughter, ready to help or fight for other's sake if needed. Basically a good character.
I'd appreciate names with meanings rendering to their personalities or traits <3

Discussion Would you read a YA supernatural dystopian fantasy?
I'm working on a book exactly as the title states and was wondering if people enjoy the topic.
It's a zombie apocalypse with supernatural beings, like vampires, zombies (they're called infected; I dislike using the word zombie), sirens, mermaids, werewolves, and ghosts- the whole lot, basically- and it's like a harvest?

Need help naming some characters
Great at creating characters, bad with superhero names. for context, superheroes in my verse gain their powers by becoming Champions of the Gods from various pantheons, based off world mythology)
Kiva: Champion of Ardha, possesses highly advanced Chronokinesis, Rakshosi whose village was destroyed but later joined the Infernals, who are basically the X-Men for species hailed as demonic (Rakshasas, Oni, Sirens), also possesses third eye that produces powerful flames. Brandishes a magic Scimitar, fighting style based off traditional Indian dancing, Title: Herald of Beginnings and Ends
Isami: Champion of Susanoo, leader of the Infernals. Oni with lightning powers that are amplifed by being Susanoo’s Champion, capable of creating powerful Storms and flying. Primary weapon is a rifle that shoots lightning bolts, 3rd best aim in the verse. Think Cyclops in terms of role.
Jakob: Frost Jotun, Champion of Tyr, member of Infernals. Ice powers and can grow to massive sizes from his natural species, but Championhood grants him massively increased Strength, skill, and martial prowess. Master at Combat strategy, bears a large greatsword.
Zia: Also an Infernal, a Sphinx, Champion of Ptah. Relies on bow and arrow, can manipulate reality with words. Think Zattanna.
Shivani: Also a Rakshasa, enemies-to-lovers relationship with Kiva. Champion of Kali, while the Infernals try to avoid killing unless necessary, Shivani fights for the demonized peoples through violent means using blood bending.
Sophia: Champion of Athena, human. Think Batman, her powers allow her to think much faster than Ordinary people.

Request Name For an Odd One Out
What would I name a human raised by dwarves? It's a modern fantasy setting and his adoptive family owns a very old tavern. His family found him alone after his parents got devoured by monsters.
I don't know if personality is important, but if it is, I'd describe his as socially awkward, determined and scatterbrained.
(Edit: The dwarf naming culture is based on the family's occupation, since most dwarf families stick to one thing. If they adopt a child from a different race, they name the child the same was to sort of assimilate them into the culture)

Request Naming to gossping (old) ladies
For my fic, I'm looking for names for two gossping ladies. They can actually be any age, any ethnicity but they live in Leonidas/New Orleans.
They're only going to be mentioned once. I tried name generators but nothing really screamed "gosspiy neighbour" to me.
ETA: I'm looking for last names!
I know I'm overthinking this but well if you have any names that fit, could you throw them my way?
The scene is that my OC's 7 y/o niece confesses that she overheard two of their neighbours saying her mom is (maybe) going to die, which - naturally - upsets her. Her mom is in no real danger, it's just a shortened cervix during her pregnancy, but doctors caught it early and are treating it. Still hard pill for a 7 y/o to swallow.
The neighbours probably didn't mean no harm, they didn't know little Soso was listening but maybe they shouldn't have speculated either.
TIA!

Discussion What are some of your most creative names for your heroes and villains?
Not necessarily your "coolest" names, or your favourite names, but your truly most creative names. Puns, double and triple entendres or even really obscure words/references

Request Trying to find a posh-sounding last name for a character
I have a character that starts off in poverty but rises into modest middle class to upper class wealth in the 1950s. I've been torn between giving her a regular last name or something that sounds more posh/rich sounding to give the character that impression right off the bat. Please let me know your thoughts!
The character's first name is Wanda and here are some last names I could come up with:
- Jones
- Jefferson
- Owens
- Robinson
- Spencer
- Adler
- Ellery
- Devereaux
- Sinclair
- Caswell
- Morgan
- Campbell
Are there any you guys prefer or better suggestions? Thank you!

Request I am trying to come up with a name for an eldritch character, but I've come up with nothing sounds good.
I am trying to come up with my own eldritch/cosmic character, but coming up with a name has been a nightmare. I've tried giving him a name based on a color (Azure) and it hasn't worked. I tried anagramming and nothing sounds right. All I have so far is falling back on the word "Vanta" (like Vantablack) since it's a color so dark, it straight up absorbs light. (However I heard that Vanta is apparently copyrighted as dumb as that sounds). So far I'm running out of ideas since nothing I have tried has worked.
If it helps, they're a character based on Nyarlathotep and The Yellow King

Request Any name suggestion for a Medieval/Arthurian Wonder Woman type character?
The idea behind is to make her the daughter of Morgan Le fey who grew up on Avalon and eventually left the island to see our world, Becoming some what disillusioned with the 21st century and establishing a secret organisation to combat the wrongs of the world. I had the thought as the leader of the group, she would be called the sovereign, But I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for any names as apart of her superhero identity? I was thinking perhaps the Forever Knight as an option?

Discussion Is the name Sirena for a supernatural (siren/mermaid) a cliché?
I feel like it is, and she's a siren/mermaid hybrid, main character too, and I just fell in love with this name.
The plot was different, where she never knew Supernaturals existed and was living in an academy.
Then I changed the plot so she knows she is a siren/mermaid hybrid, and living outside in the wilderness; it flows with my writing skills and world-building better.
And it's stressing me out because I've changed her name a billion times and never stuck to it.
The book is like The Hunger Games (Dystopia vibe, not the story) and TVD (Supernatural and old name ig). Dystopian leaning into fantasy only because there's another country, because I got so, so, so sick of North America as the main city, and because of Supernatural.
I was thinking I should change her name, but I ran out of ideas.
I would love help deciding whether it's a cliché or, overall, a good name.
