So I have this race or species of creatures and I need to name them. At first I was calling them fairies, but they're like not fairy tale fairies? like not the tiny cute wholesome ones. They're more fairies like young maleficent without the horns. The species is kind of a mix between fairies and angels I guess. They can do magic and stuff but they're human sized. They're wings start growing at like 14 or 15 cause it's more like a puberty thing? so they can't use them till they're like fully grown at 20 years old. Once the wings are fully grown they look like Maleficent's. I don't want to call them fairies because when I tell people about my book and that there's fairies in it they immediately think of like Tinker Bell fairies and that's not what they are so help please.

Mabe you can plainly call them the winged race or something like that? Cause thet way, the people will instantly know what you mean by that. Hopefully this was helpfull.

What I did when coming up with names for my races was to do some research of creatures/beings from mythologies all around the world (avoiding greek, roman and norse but that was a personal choice) and writing down names that relate the closest to your creature. Then going to a couples name generator and mixing them up. Remember you can put your own twist on the fusions if you want but I've found this the most helpful way. Since your dealing with angel-faeries beings, I would start with Irish/Celtic/Welsh myths along with angel names from The Bible.

Hopefully this helps!

I think I am going to go with Voluceus (Voluci plural). It is a mix of volucer, and angelus which means 'angel' in Latin, so it basically means 'winged angel'. Thank you guys for the ideas. I finally did research and came up with something, but I never would've figured it out without your help. Thanks!
