let me name all your characters!

(i love finding names and making up names, so if you're struggling, let me know!)

((some of my personal favourites that i've used: meyer, mason, nash, pan, august, bard, spoke, loran, neres, pit…))

Help, please! I need a name for a mischievous teen, the last name for my gender fluid character, Alex, and a name for an antisocial fluffy cat.

teen:

• aramis
• dante
• rimmy
• cass
• toni
• cole

last name:

• brown
• baker
• miller
• moore
• white
• garcia
• lee
• young
• bell

antisocial cat:

• people (honestly just imagine calling your cat 'people' and they hate people)
• character (my friend has a friend whose last name is ristic and they named their cat character, so it's characteristic)

Could you help me? I need a male name for a dark angel, who isn't completely evil, but is still a bit of a psychopath. He sometimes manipulates others for his own gain. Also, he has a bit of a kind side that comes up occasionally.

@MidnightWarrior13

• ter (like the verb to tear [a piece of paper])
• genry (not a typo; nickname gen)
• marsh
• dair (like dare)
• res
• kalam (backwards version of malak which means angel [it's fun finding names that mean something and then writing them backwards to mean the opposite])
• noz
• tender (because then you can make a pun that he is not tender; nickname ten which is a cool name)

What should the middle name be of one of my main antagonists, Gwydéon Mhacaull? (I know middle names don't really matter a lot, but I still want there to be one for future reference). Please reply ASAP!!

Thanks @Cami :) I will use one of those names.

first of all, awesome name!

áedán, bran, cáel, lir, enid, mabon

Thanks, @Cami! I think I'll choose either Áedán or Cáel–this character is Celtic-inspired, so I think those ones will fit really well!

Hi @Cami. I'm working on a Sci-Fi story and was wondering if you could help me develop some names for an asexual race of aliens. I've decided that most of the names should have -ve, -ek, and -en as suffixes, and Po-, Ev-, Cor-, and Ly- as prefixes.
Your help would be much appreciated :)

@The Lavender Owl

ooh i like that idea! are you thinking the prefixes and suffixes would be distinct like po'riv'ek or combined in the name like corinen?

• porivek, potuve, poyeren
• evmanen, evgunive, evtreek
• corbenek, cormyve, corseren
• lyriek, lycien, lytuve

you can always throw in some apostrophes, and you can probably go deeper into their language if you have multiple names that look similar like potuve and lytuve (the 'tu' could define them as siblings or relatives, or even just show their occupation (maybe they are both farmers)).

Thanks @Cami! I was thinking the Prefixes and suffixes would be combined in the name, but i like your idea of defining occupations and relations, so I think their last names might do that.
Thank you for your creativity!

Hey @Cami, will you do another name for me? I need another middle name…
Her name is Veria Bolasáin, and I was thinking of a name beginning with a Mag or a Gw or something like that. She's a mysterious character, so a mysterious name would be a huge help.
Thank you!

gwern, magon, magurat, gwenlyn, magwen, gizem ("mystery" in turkish), dubhán ("dark/black" in irish)

@Cami
Thank you!!

I have a teenage girl who has a normal name, she’s popular, a little moody, sarcastic, and yet a bit of a loner.

@Cami can you help me? I need a name for a character that is a spy. She's intelligent, cunning, and has a good heart. She's of mixed African and Caucasian descent. Her last name is Lewis, and her sister's name is Amira. Do you have any suggestions?

If you wouldn't mind could you help me name my character, she's a female dragon rider. Some of her characteristics are passionate, empathetic and a little bit sarcastic. Her last name is Raines.

@Cami Hi, can you help me with a name. She's a pirate captain and she's intelligent, daring, sarcastic, willing to take risks, and a bit moody at times. Thanks. :)
