So this story is basically a retelling/continuation of ancient Greek myths, set in space! Annnddd i need character names.

  • Badass girl name, for an 18-20 year old girl. Her father is an escaped convict, and she is one of the best pilots around, with a soft spot for her family. Anythjng sorta edgy and whatnot works for her
  • a greek god character. His parents are unknown, and he is a god that hasn't yet discovered what he is actually the god of. I just need ancient Greek names (Roman works too I guess) that aren't too overused or cliche

Those two are the main characters, but i am also in need of:

  • a name for the girl's father, and for her older brother.
  • names i can slap on to background characters

Also last question: does anyone know if the Nine Muses actually have/had names?

1) Above the Sky as a title? I can try and find more if needed
2) Emmeline? Gaia? Kyra? Lilith? Harlow? Ida? Amelia?
3) Caius? Aindrea? Odalis? Savas? Feisal? Kaapo? Kael? Jaoel?
4) Theodore for her brother and Oliver for her dad.
5) I’ll write up a list of random names if you need
6) I believe the Muses has names! I’ll see if I can find them

@ElderGod-Icefire

2) Really liking Kyra or Harlow
3) Caius and Kael are both cool

5) sure, if you want. I dont want to be a bother 😅
6) alright thanks!

The nine muses names are Calliope (Muse of epic poetry) Clio (Muse of history) Erato (Muse of lyric poetry) Euterpe (Muse of music) Melpomene (Muse of tragedy) Polyhymnia (Muse of sacred poetry) Terpsichore (Muse of dance and chorus) and Thalia (Muse of comedy and idyllic poetry)
Hope that helped :)
