Time Period: 20-25 years after the apocalypse occurs.
Brief Plot: The details are still in the works, but so far it’s about a girl’s struggle to survive in the face of nature and the people left on earth (they’re a little psychotic and savage from a disease). She’s on her own until she stumbles across a little girl and finally decides to search out any sane people left in the world.
Description:
average height, long brown hair
a big fan of planning and is (mostly) always prepared
she’s been alone for six years due to some past event and is now aloof and unsure around people (normal ones)
clever and knows how to put up a good fight
Already Considered: [name_f]Noa[/name_f] (might still use this one), [name_f]Della[/name_f], [name_u]Rowan[/name_u], [name_f]Ree[/name_f]
Anything else?
Her parents had her after surviving the apocalypse and so on, so nothing too frilly.
Finding the right name is always a challenge for me, so thank you for any help
[name_f]Noa[/name_f] is great, especially with that spelling (Definitely leave of the H). Here are some others I thought of:
[name_f]Tess[/name_f]
[name_f]Ana[/name_f] (not sure about this one, if you used it, you’d definitely want to only have one N)
[name_f]Elle[/name_f] or just [name_f]El[/name_f]
[name_f]Em[/name_f]–maybe as a nickname, but you could also just have her name be [name_f]Em[/name_f]
[name_u]Ren[/name_u], [name_u]Wren[/name_u], [name_m]Renn[/name_m]
Kaede (This has Japanese roots, but it sounds tough and down-to-earth and a lot like your character)
[name_f]Jade[/name_f]
[name_f]Kate[/name_f] (a little normal, perhaps a different spelling would give it a more post-apocalyptic feel)
[name_u]Sky[/name_u], [name_u]Skye[/name_u]
[name_f]Mae[/name_f]
[name_u]Kai[/name_u]
[name_f]Brynn[/name_f] (I like this one for your MC)
[name_f]Cora[/name_f]
[name_u]Eden[/name_u]
[name_u]Haven[/name_u]
These are the names that came to mind. You definitely want to stick with something shorter (1 or 2 syllables, probably.)
I like [name_f]Noa[/name_f], maybe you could do [name_f]Nova[/name_f]? Also…
[name_f]Kisa[/name_f]
[name_u]Reed[/name_u]
[name_f]Delancy[/name_f]
[name_u]Reeve[/name_u]
[name_u]Campbell[/name_u]
[name_u]Dagny[/name_u]
[name_f]Esti[/name_f]
Rumi
[name_f]Hope[/name_f] these help!
I like [name_f]Noa[/name_f] too. I know the name isn’t related to boy [name_u]Noah[/name_u], but the sound still makes me think of the flood story in the Bible and how only the people in the ark survived It’s a neat nod to that.
Of your choices, I like [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] the most. It has kind of a tomboy feel to it, which I think is nice for your character. [name_f]Ree[/name_f] reminds me of [name_u]Rue[/name_u], which I don’t think is what you want for your character. Other choices could be:
[name_u]Skylar[/name_u], nn [name_u]Sky[/name_u]
[name_f]Larina[/name_f] - sounds tough, though still has a slight girly feel to it
[name_f]Miranda[/name_f]
Good luck! [name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps
I like [name_f]Noa[/name_f], but I hope you do know it’s pronounce “no-[name_m]AH[/name_m]” with the emphasis on the second syllable (the boys’ name [name_u]Noah[/name_u] is pronounce oppositely, with emphasis on NO-uh).
Other names to consider:
[name_f]Ora[/name_f]
[name_u]Tavi[/name_u]
[name_u]Rhian[/name_u]
[name_f]Enna[/name_f]
[name_u]Lior[/name_u]
[name_f]Kaia[/name_f]
[name_f]Meg[/name_f]
I like [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] or [name_f]Noa[/name_f] the best (can’t decide between the two). Since you like [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] and [name_f]Ree[/name_f] maybe you’d consider [name_u]Romy[/name_u]. It isn’t frilly and it could be a post-apocalyptic name. Other suggestions:
[name_u]June[/name_u]
[name_f]Ione[/name_f]
[name_u]Winslow[/name_u]
[name_m]Lennox[/name_m]
It’s a neat nod to that.
