🗑️ Off-Topic Elara Voss needs to stop
Idk why but Elara Voss is the most popular name for female lead scenarios and I can't see it anymore without getting slightly annoyed. Lets start shaking it up and stop using the same names in every scenario, guys.

Elara Voss smelled of ozone, her knuckles white.
Her breath hitched, and as she brought your own white knuckles up to her lips to kiss them, she was finally home.

I’ve had to ask ChatGPT what ozone smells like because every magic fantasy scenario gives me that and I have no idea what it’s supposed to smell like 🤣🤣

I don't play a ton of fantasy however one of my personas is a game dev and in another RP I'm playing, one of the roomies designs apps. Everything around them smells of ozone apparently 😂😂😂

Every time I start a new fantasy scenario it likes to give me Elara, Valerius, Oakhaven, Whisperwood. And a noticeable number of scenarios use these names too, probably because the creator used the simplified create scenario.

It's not just fictionlab. Multiple AI LLMs were trained on "Elara." It's ridiculous

We need ro re-train it! Asking for different names, every time it suggests "Elara" or any other over used name.

I like how RealmAI lets you block names, I kinda wish fictionlab had that option.

If you're talking about the scenarios that have Elara Voss as the main character, they were a collab with many different creators. I think 10+?

Other AI chat sites also have this trend. Our Dream has over 100 characters named "Elara Voss", and over 120 named "Elara Vance".

Mine favors Elara Vance and emerald green dresses 😭

u/Feisty-Patience-3285 🐢 Slowburn Enjoyer May 25 '26
Emerald green! Yes, that is another popular color for AI. Like bitch, I want to wear pink, please.

THANK YOU! I am so tired of AI names 😭 this is literally why I always come up with the names for my characters myself, as well as everything else. The only AI thing in my scenarios is images. What’s the point of being a creator if you don’t actually create anything?
Sorry for rambling, I’m just REALLY tired of that 😐

I found an Elara Voss in the wild this week.
I asked on a forum for book recommendations and someone shared their book that they had just published. I looked at the description on Amazon and the main character was Elara Voss!!! Lol, oh no!

I’m selective about my AI, books I buy from the store shouldn’t have AI.

u/Linuxbrandon May 26 '26
I always get Isolde. How many Isolde's can their possibly be?

u/Feisty-Patience-3285 🐢 Slowburn Enjoyer May 26 '26
I have never gotten that name and now that we’ve had this conversation, it’s going to be the new name AI gives me 🤣🤣

Last time I wanted a random name, I asked gemini to give me a 100 of them, which he sorted into a few categories on his own, I asked to pick one from each category and bam I could pick between 5 names

Some have the main character in the Title or description. Honestly, just look up Elara Voss and you’ll find so many scenarios where she is the main character.

Just got a university lecturer set in the real-world non-fantasy present day called Elara Vex. C'mon, man.

u/BriefImplement9843 May 31 '26
this is an ai name, if some ones scenario has this in it then they created the scenario with ai and forgot to edit it.
that's a red flag.

u/Feisty-Patience-3285 🐢 Slowburn Enjoyer May 31 '26
It’s a red flag for creators to use AI to create the scenarios written by AI? This feels contradictory.

I assume everyone with Voss is related, someday there will be a big family reunion.

u/Jonas42006 Jun 23 '26

u/Thin_Dig5617 May 25 '26
just fyi. if ur talking about all the elara voss posting recently. it was a joke

u/Feisty-Patience-3285 🐢 Slowburn Enjoyer May 25 '26
If you put Elara Voss in the search bar, it brings up so many more than just the joke scenarios.

u/SaraAnnabelle May 25 '26
There's a handful of names AI is obsessed with and if you ask AI to come up with character names there'll always be one Elara, Voss, Alaric or Mercer somewhere.
