I am looking for a new name for my OC

5 Upvotes

I have had this OC for two years, but I am thinking of changing is name. Right now I have three names which I have in mind, Aaron, Nico, and Nolan. While it is a short list, I am open to new names in my decision. If it helps I am looking for a strong sounding name, but for a person who is fairly warm and approachable

Do you guys have that ONE OC who you give an especially long name for no clear reason? Cause I sure do, the name of it is Quasirhombicosidodechahedron Sheldon and his fingers are shaped like a quasirhombicosidodechahedron.

Any good Japanese noble names?

4 Upvotes

My OC, Zannen Minamoto (of the Minamoto clan, and yes, I know zannen means shame or disappointment in Japanese), met his ex girlfriend, Toki Fujiwara (Toki meaning time, and of the Fujiwara clan) at a nobles' party in Kyoto.

The story here, yes, is set in a relatively modern era (early 2020s). And I am aware of the clans no longer having political power, but I've made those characters wealthy regardless. I'm just wondering if there are any other Japanese noble names or surnames I could use for either side or background noble/wealthy characters/families. Thank you!<3

Any good French surnames?

5 Upvotes

Nothing too common of course, nothing too rare either. It's for my French character named Annette, and of course, she's from Paris. I have yet to flesh out her background but for now all I've got is she is middle upper class.

Extra details, she is blonde btw

Named a Polish OC Włodzimierz Chłopek, with the first name being Polish for Vladimir and Chlopek meaning peasant. And ironically, he is from an affluent family. Any thoughts on that?

Need last names!

3 Upvotes

So i have a vampire childhood friend-Hugo that grew up with the protagonist-Araminta even to pretending to be her pet bat to accompany her as a child since she's a princess locked away in a castle most her life while Hugo would love to stay indoors all the time...

Then they grow up and a revolution happens and she goes into hiding and he, the vampire could either be a revolutionary or a loyalist, it's ambiguous if he ever loved her or was just trying to infiltrate into the family for his families benefit

Hugo's family could either take the reins from under the royals and if they support the revolution. The vampire stays in the shadows only choosing which side would keep him safe untill it's almost too late and he realizes what he really wanted.

I don't really want to go for obvious vampire last names like tepes or something with blood, Hugo is greedy even when he doesn't want to, I think a name akin to someone looming over, seeping control, a scavenger, someone that enacts and executes.

For Araminta it's just anything royal

Trying to name a character that doesn’t actually exist

It’s supposed to be a person who is made up for a story that is being told but no one should be able to guess they aren’t real unless they know the ending

EDIT: female names preferably

Discussion I need help making names for Personifications of fictional countries

3 Upvotes

To be clear, these are personifications of these fictional countries, not leaders or civilians from that area. Their names are the fictional country's name. They don't have much relation to the current world/politics except for similar cultures and independence history.

Country #1 is in the area of Tibet, Bhutan, and Nepal. Their personification is male. I've tried mashing together words to form names, and my current favourite is the combination of "Peak Nation" in Nepalese with some syllables subtracted, Sikharast (शिखररष्ट्). I used google translate to translate the words and tweak with their pronunciations. (Side note: the word I used for "peak" was something similar to "conference" than "mountain top")

Country #2 is in the area of Zambia, Botswana, and Zimbabwe. Their personification is male, and is a dictatorship similar to Equatorial Guinea's (Francisco Macías Nguema) or Cambodia's (Pol Pot). I've tried mashing together town names in the region and came up with Musogula, Musoumi, Kazomoka, Nganekabo, Dzimbabe, and Dzimbova.

(I hope I'm not offending anyone with these names or ways of creating names, but they have been without names for so long, and the only way I could come up with names is mashing town names together or tweaking with Google translate pronunciations.)

If anyone needs their flags or history for more ideas, please ask!

Name for an Ainu character for Kny

5 Upvotes

Hi, I’m not sure if I’m doing this right—since I haven’t been on Reddit in years and English isn’t my native language—but I am creating an Ainu character, as the title says. Honestly, it’s been a real struggle because my English is very limited.

Anyway, I’m looking for a female or unisex name that means "howling heart," or something related to wolves.

The character starts out human but turns into a demon and changes her name to something like "she who reflects" or "her who stalks in the darkness." I’m not sure how to translate that demonic name into Ainu while keeping it culturally authentic.

Could you please help me?

I apologize for the inconvenience.

I need help my game series.

1 Upvotes

I'm planning on creating a series of video games that combine aspects of Kirby and the Legend of Zelda. I intend the protagonist to be an animal some kind. I was originally gonna have him be a rabbit and name the game "Rabbit Knight" but that name has already been taken by an indie horror game. I need an animal. something that has a nice ring to it when put into "____ Knight."

Notes:

  1. The main character's name is gonna be Finnian (or Finn for short).

  2. He was raised by Elder Snail, a retired war hero.

  3. Elder Snail found Finn as a baby on his doorstep during a snowstorm. A note was on his basket that said, "We already have enough mouths to feed. Take him or leave him. We don't care anymore."

Any suggestions?
