So I’m working on an animated series, and one of the main characters is a humanoid squid. I’ve had a name for him for a WHILE, however I unfortunately realized it sounds like a certain derogatory word TwT. Because of this, I‘m likely changing it. Does anyone know names that are squid related? They don’t have to be “real” names. I’m kinda going for somewhere in between those nature based enby names and a masc name. He is also white, so no names from other cultures as to avoid appropriation. Thanks!

Edit: thank you so much for the help! I’ve decided to go with Ceph Watsen! Ceph as in Cephalopod, and Watsen because it‘s similar to Watasenia, the genus known as firefly squid (No lore reason for that specific species, I just think they look cool :)). What do you guys think?

Hello! For years I have tried coming up with a performer name and have yet to land on something that feels right. I am a fire spinner, aerialist, and movement artist. I have used name generator websites, searched through books and poems, and have scoured these pages for posts already asking for character names (so, I apologize if this post feels tiresome). But, I love all the names that you all have come up with on these pages. I just have yet to find one that resonates perfectly for me. If anyone could help come up with a name or if you think of a word that would be helpful to play off of, please share!

My performance style/character I try to emulate: graceful, but lethal. like a ballerina that could kick some ass. an elegant female warrior, if you will. Also, I would like the name to sound a little witchy. Love the name Bellatrix, which would be perfect, but obviously it's a little too famous.

Other little bits: I don't want anything with fire directly (fire, flames, phoenix) - it sounds too cheesy. Words I love and have tried to play with: arabesque, serpentine, allura... anything with an "x" sounds very pleasing...

Anyways, I've been at a block for awhile with the name, and this is a very creative sub. So, if you have any creativity or inspiration to spare, I would really appreciate it! Thank you in advance :)

He’s a white seal anthro with an orange candle on his head and wings made of wax. He also has a bit of blue spotting. I’ve been struggling to come up with a name but here are some I’ve considered but ultimately decided against.

Keri
Lux
Seraph
Orion

Decided against these for various reasons but mostly because I like a name that’s easy to pronounce with my American accent and that has some sort of seal, light, fire, candle theme, vibe, or meaning. Or if you’re just super good at naming go crazy!!!

I'm writing a story in which one of the characters (who is from a country heavily inspired by Japan) is often represented/connected to celestial bodies and the night sky. I'm looking for a (male, though I'm okay with more feminine names as well!) name that would fit this general vibe. Right now I've just been calling him Tsukki, but that's not what I want the final name to be.

My story is based mainly in two cities: one of them is a frutiger aero style utopia, and the other is a cyberpunk city inspired heavily by the Edo period in Japan. This character grew up in the latter city, and is Japanese--I'm thinking his people are the equivalent of the Okinawan people, who are a ethnic minority of Japan. He's heavily connected with celestial bodies and the night sky.

I do speak a bit of Japanese (and lived in Japan for a few months), so I'm comfortable with hiragana and a few kanji; I'd like to include those at least in my own notes for the story.

Thank you!

Oc is a female with blonde hair and green eyes. She is part of a steampunk era.

Her name should contain mainly S (also other strong sounds like SH R T)

So, my story takes place in a contemporary (around the 2000s) Alexandria where the current main overarching antagonist was a young boy who was always shy, quiet and sheltered from the rest of the world, he had a fascination for spiders though and would find and keep the spiders he'd find around the apartment as pets and feed them small bugs.

Later on, when he's older, he gets entangled with a group of shady people who groom him into beginning to experiment on a virus by combining some arachnid DNA into it.

After a while, and being satisfied with the test results he has done on animals, he begins experimenting on himself with the virus, but to not have degeneration, he goes into a coma for the next couple of years so that his body "bonds" with the virus, however he is awoken earlier than his desired date by the protagonist(s) which is what sets off the plot.

So I was wondering if anyone had any name suggestions for this type of character perhaps.

Hi everyone! I’d like to introduce a fan-name suggestion for an apparently unnamed background pony from My Little Pony: The Movie (2017).

As far as I’ve been able to determine, this pony doesn’t appear to have an established official name. I’d like to suggest Maria Cloverpatch as an unofficial fan name to give her a more recognizable identity within the fandom.

I chose this name because I think it gives the pony a distinctive identity and makes her easier to refer to in discussions, fan art, and character searches. My intention is not to present the name as canon or replace any established name, but to offer a memorable name that fans can use if they like it.

I’ve suggested names for other background ponies before, and I enjoy helping these smaller characters become easier to identify and discuss. This suggestion is simply my way of appreciating another background character from the movie.

Maria Cloverpatch is a fan-suggested name, not an official canon name. I’m sharing it as a naming idea and respecting that different fans may have their own preferences.

hey everyone, I was wondering if you could help me with name ideas for my new pirate character me and my friend are making? hes the main antagonist for our other pirates, hes kind of like Captain Hook appearance wise but way more over the top won’t go into too much detail but he eats like fairy’s and mermaids etc etc and is is obviously evil we have come up with a few ideas but we’re not sure if they fit that well (examples below) and we were wondering if anyone could help us? 🙏 we’re also trying to stay away from traditional pirat names like blackbeard and pegarm teethgnasher stuff like that

Hi. I'm stuck. I'm looking for suggestions for a name for this character that I'm writing.

The story is a fantasy, like with princesses and dragons, the gentleman who needs a name is a forest guardian hunk who can shape shift into a stag, he keeps balance in the forest and in return gets longevity and some magic. He wears little slutty glasses to read poetry when he's not like putting out forest fires and saving squirrels from trees or whatever.

Hi, I need help finding the perfect name for a few characters, all brothers! I have used a lot of my favorite Spanish names for other characters already, so I'm leaning towards the uncommon/rare names to avoid duplicates.

Their surname will be Collazo Ríos.

These characters are the sons of a feared couple & their father is, in the closest term that'll be understood, very similar to what we'd consider a mafia boss. The characters are all ruthless criminals who aren't against hurting others, but are very respectful to (& intimidated by) their mother. They do have a younger sister called Abril, whom they are very protective of.

Help me with names for them, please!

Helix Beltran is a 17-year-old boy and one of the main protagonists of my hypothetical comic series: No Deins No Gains. I'm thinking of the names of other conyo individuals he surrounds himself with, so suggest names if you will pls thex‼️

I'm writing a story about three sisters, triplets, born and raised in a cult, yet growing up and following very different paths. I have names I like for two of the sisters, yet not satisfied with the last one.

Lilloth is the oldest triplet, a Bard, and very anti-cult. She's persuasive, optimstic and determined.

Hellicent is the youngest triplet, a blood cleric, a fanatic in the cult. She's basically schizotypal, haha.

The middle triplet is a Hexblade warlock, and serious and calculating. Her current name is Vera, but I'm hoping there's a more suitable name out there for her! Something that sounds good alongside her sisters.

Thankful for any suggestions!

Do you guys have any name recommendations for a teenage Kelpie girl character? If it helps she was born in 1966 and she is Scottish.

I need some weird ass names. Love writing, always been a big fiction writer, been running out of names/nicknames for characters.

I’ve literally named one of my characters Morgenach as a first name. Another one was named Starling… stupid I know right? It doesn’t seem all that bad but I PROMISE I’m not a freak,, I’m just allergic to giving any of my characters a name that is overly used or common or even just normal. I’m talking the strangest most unique names, like surnames as first names, or symbolic objects as names, or really cool places like cities or towns with titles that could be a cool name for a character. Literally ANYTHING, I’m desperate. Thank you love you.

A short description of my story and this particular character:

• Dystopian story that stars a group of rebels fighting to free their planet from a Cult-dictatorship
• character is a News Anchor/reporter, under employment of said Cult, BUT is also a "double-Agent" of sorts...
• Is in a FWB's type of situation-ship with my story's secondary main-lead, ( 😅 In exchange for sex, she gives them and the group of rebels the information they need to be one-step-ahead of all of their enemies' future attack plans.)
• Half-Japanese, Half Finnish, (the first name I have for her so far is "Liora", though this may change in the future; 🙂 I'd Gladly take suggestions, 😅 as unfortunately, I'm white-Canadian AF, and Finnish is not my 1st language.)
• very "Morally-Grey".

thank you all so much in advanced!

EDIT: FORGOT TO SAY!!! They don't have to be like CRAZY "Kira-Kira" anime surnames, They can be normal, just so long that they convey either one of the 2 above criteria in the title above, to you! 🙂 I'll listen to what anyone has to say!

It always strikes me as a more modern name from the 1980s to present time (mostly because of the movie and musical), but I've gotten so attached to it as a name for one of my characters from a gothic Victorian inspired setting. Can it pass?

I get i could use the ones from the real world but it would be very on the nose.

What do you think? I’ve gotten used to this character being called Nyx. However, if the name is too ridiculous I’ll change it. For reference, Nyx is the goddess of the night in Greek mythology. The character is stubborn, fierce, and loyal to a fault, even when the actions he takes to save a person he loves is morally questionable.

If you have a more suitable alternative, I am open to suggestions, I just need to know whether Nyx is too weird a name or not.

Basically I just want to be able to make hero names for Alexia based on her axolotl abilities, investment abilities or gaming hobby.

Hi all! Basically, I'm struggling to name one of my characters; in a nutshell, her story is that when she died, she split her soul 3 ways in order to break free from her oppressive destiny and fool the Gods

1 part of her soul remained in the human world as an energetic seamstress/tailor
the 2nd also remained in the world as a stubborn priestess

And finally, the third part of her soul went to the afterlife
________________________________________________________________

And basically I wanted her to have a long name that can easily be broken into 3 shorter names to name the parts of her soul.
Eg: her name is Elizabeth

Soul 1 is called "Ellie", Soul 2 is called "Lisa" and soul 3 is called "Beth"

Note the spelling does not have too match the main girls full name, as long as the shortened ones are actual names

And essentially I want a name like that, but of (preferably) Eastern European origin and meaning related to destiny, though I understand if you can't find one that fits all these categories. I'm not picky on how it sounds

Names I liked: Syntyche, Eutychia (I know those two are related), Moira (tbh, the reason why didn't go w/ this is because I didn't want names relating to Gods, especially with the commodification of Hellenism), Aisa, Bedisa (I know most of these are Greek, but, Idm any Eastern European languages).
Syntyche.

I've also been looking at a lot of Mongolian names that end with "Zayaa" (meaning Fate), and while I like all of them, I can't find ones that I can divide 3 ways

There's a sleeping god in my story about magical heroes (a mix on magical girls/boys and superheroes) I'm working on that's responsible for giving magical powers to the characters, both the heroes and villains. I'm looking for names that fit a sleeping god with a neutral attitude.

I have an idea for a book, but I can't decide on the name of one of the characters who is important to the plot. I'm considering two names. One of them (which I like the most) is somewhat similar to an already existing character in a popular book. The only thing that is the same between my character's name and the one from the popular book is the first syllable in the name. The first three letters are simply the same. It might not seem like a big deal, but if someone were really insistent, would they accuse me of plagiarism? I really like this name and wouldn't want to change it, but would it be better to change it to something that's 100% different from the others and not be accused of similarity? Please help me decide 🙏

There's a "Light" goddess in my history, who I have already named, what could be a good name for a character that represents darkness and death?

Sorry for the vague title.

I’m writing a fantasy novel. There are characters from a few different neighbouring countries. Some characters are related (e.g. siblings).

For immersion, how important is it for names to “go together”, as in match in terms of etymology and sound good for families?

e.g. if one character is named Wesley which is a name of Old English origin, should Wesley’s siblings also have Old English names? And if Wesley’s girlfriend from another country is called Emmeline, which apparently is a French/German name, then should Emmeline’s family also have names of similar origin?

Sorry in advance if these descriptions are kinda weird! They're based off the personalitys of the characters ^_^

Edit! I should clarify that all the gods are male!/gen

Spring: cute, happy, light and pretty

Summer: barbaric: Nordic, warrior like and masculin

Autumn: smart, sophisticated, classy and regal

Winter: cold, dark, chaotic and evil
