I'm writing a book and I have two harpies about to jump in but I can't write them because I can't pick a name. I have found a good amount of greek girl names, and I'm not really working with meaning I just found some greek names I liked.
Here they are:
Aileen
Alyona
Ambrosine
Anastazie
Andrea
Andrina
Andromeda
Aretha
Antigone
Bryony
Caitriona
Carin
Charisma
Daria
Danae
Darja
Delia
Demertria
bonus points if you find a good nickname for one of them!
I'm going to vote for either Daria (Ria or Dar), Carin (Cary), Bryony (Brybry), or Andromeda (Meda). I'd say, for choosing, maybe see which of them seems to fit her inside your head, and which one you kind of begin referring to her by.
I love andromeda (Andy) and Demertria (Demi)
I like Daria and Andrina. But it's really up to you and what kind of character you make. I suggest narrowing it down and then playing around with the names you have left
So for nicknames:
Aileen: Aylee, Leen, Ay
Alyona: Aly, Ona, Ly-Ly
Ambrosine: Bro, Ambi
Anastazie: Ana, Stazie, Zie
Andrea: Andie, Rea
Andrina: Ina, Drina, Andie
Andromeda: Andie, Meda, Ro
Aretha: Etha, Tha, Arie
Antigone: Anti, An
Bryony: Bry, Ony, Bry-Bry
Caitriona: Cait, Cat, Rio, Ona, Riona
Carin: Carrie, Care
Charisma: Carrie, Issy, Isma
Daria: Dare
Danae: Dana, Nae, Nae-Nae
Darja: Dary, Ja
Delia: Del, Lia
Demertria: Ria, Deme
And for nicknames, there are always things about them that can just be cute nicknames as your character grows, not necessarily just based off their given name.
Aretha and Darja have strong bitch energy so if that's what you're going for
other than that i'm rooting for Charisma, Carin and Danae
thanks! I think I have what I need to write my characters now, I think I will be using Daria and Aretha!
