@Althalosian-is-the-father book

In this characters cultures boy's last names are their mothers first name with the word 'son' on the end. This guy's mom's name is Stella. His first name is Starson. So his name is Starson Stellason.
I haven't decided if his parents are stupid or if they just hated him from birth.

Dude, this reminds me of my boy who got named water (Haidraqo) by his fisherman father. Y'know, because I couldn't bear to give all the squad new names after the dumb ones I did.

@PaperHats business

Ok these aren’t ones I came up with but I gotta share because they’re just so good—

  • Ella Vator
  • Iwanna Berger
  • Zig Steenine

(Say them fluidly and out loud if you don’t understand reading them)

My newest is Phyte (pronounced fight). She's my badaxx assassin girlie.

Not my character, but one i helped my sister come up with: Lovésnaie. And then there's Scubaruba, who is Lovésnaie's father.

@bisexual-wind-dragon-disaster

Sarua. Not really a weird name in the universe. However, her name was supposed to be Larua, but I forgot and called her Sarua for 5 months until I realized my mistake and didn’t want to change it. But then I learned from a friend that female lizards are called sauras…and Sarua is a dragon….so her name is very, very close to meaning female lizard, which is what she is.

@ZephirFox8812

I had a character who's name changed from Nico to Niko to Neko overtime as my friend and I misspelled it and didn't change it back

I am aware it means cat

He is almost a cat

It's something his dad would do, call his son cat

Did you get the name from the Spanish voz real?
Sorry if it’s a weird question, but I’m just curious :)

My whole book is full of strange names, so I’ll just list a couple of the weirdest ones:

  • Terrowin
  • Anahita
  • Andelith
  • Thingälí
  • Egareth

Not a character name, but this reminded me of the time I accidentally named one of my cities the Finnish word for "sturgeons." I ended up changing it because of that.

Yes! That’s a common occurrence that happens more often than I thought it ever could! Nevertheless, there are times the real meaning of the name/word matches the character and doesn’t mean some strange (sometimes awkward) word and you don’t have to change it XD
