Genre of [name_u]Story[/name_u]:[name_f]Fantasy[/name_f]
Time Period/Location:medieval-ish
Brief Plot:The bastard daughter of a king, her slave master, and her struggle to find a home and a family worth caring for.
Names of Current Characters:[name_f]Glory[/name_f]
Character Description:I have 4 characters that need names. They are all blond of various shades. Two boys both have brown eyes, one has blue. The third is a girl with blue eyes. They are human.
Immediate Family (if relevant):Their youngest sister is [name_f]Glory[/name_f].
I Would Like: I would like word names. Doesn’t matter how outlandish. I considered Darken for one, but I’m iffy there.
Anything else?:It’s 3 boys and a girl we’re naming. The king named the boys and he wants to make a statement, to bring that fearful kind of respect. The queen named the girls and she wants sweetness and aspirations.
I don’t like any of the boys. I added info up there that explains why in the “anything else section” that I forgot to add when I made the post early this morning. They are princes and princesses and the king named the boys with the intent to bring that fearful kind of respect, to make them seem intimidating. So that’s why I was considering Darken for one of the boys. They need fierce word names.
Frenzy
Ferreus - without a heart, without feelings
Ferus - brutal, cruel
I love all of those but now they’re all F! It reminds me of Feral which is cool. Let’s do some that don’t have F at the beginning
The others I liked but didn’t jump as me as belonging to these guys were:
Calamity – because he might be the king one day and you don’t want a calamity as king
Morose – same, you don’t want a morose king
Nightshade – I’m tucking it away because I’m not sure.
Vexatious – which is a cool word but seems…I don’t know…too wordy? That doesn’t make sense >.< Vex would be cool maybe or Vexer (even though that’s not a word but it would be “someone who Vexes”)
Atrox – but no one would know what it means I’m tucking it away with Nightshade as a “if I don’t find anything better” name
Yes, I know. It’s a weird name for a blond It’s why it’s in the same area as Nightshade, the “I’ll keep it in case” area.
I like these:
[name_m]Wilder[/name_m]
Morne (this is also the name of a girl villain elsewhere in the book :P)
Lasher ( this is actually already a name elsewhere in the book :P)
Torrent
Ophidian (not for this story though, but I love it)
[name_m]Talon[/name_m]
Rather than starting a new thread, I’m just asking here. I need a name for the king now too I didn’t think I would be it’s come up and now I do.
I need a name for a king. He has dark blond hair, brown eyes. He’s tallish and sort of a light tan. He’s cruel and unforgiving. He’s very intense and pushy with his children. His children’s names are word names but that doesn’t mean he has word names. He named his sons so that they sounded intimidating. His sons are [name_m]Talon[/name_m], [name_m]Wilder[/name_m], and Frenzy. The queen named the girls – Solace and [name_f]Glory[/name_f]. I don’t want anything weird or stereotypically fantasy ish (no apostrophes and it needs a fairly clear pronunciation)
[name_m]Vladimir[/name_m], [name_m]Brutus[/name_m], Chernobog (the black god of darkness and evil in Slavic mythology). I’ll be back later with more, these just came to me…
[name_m]Casimir[/name_m] (“to destroy peace”)
[name_m]Devlin[/name_m] (“black pool”)
Erebus (the God of darkness)
Samael/Samil (a fallen angel in Hebrew mythology)
[name_m]Set[/name_m] (God of chaos)
[name_u]Shade[/name_u]
[name_f]Ottilie[/name_f] – I liked Chernobog (fits him), [name_u]Shade[/name_u], and Samael (I love [name_m]Casimir[/name_m] but he’s on my boys list now and I don’t want to ruin him, I love [name_m]Devlin[/name_m] but I like the name too much to ruin it, and I would use Erebus if it weren’t already the name of a cannibal in my novel)
[name_u]Mischa[/name_u] – From yours, I like:
[name_m]Zoltan[/name_m]
[name_m]Torquil[/name_m]
[name_m]Solon[/name_m]
Xenon
[name_u]Paxton[/name_u] – This has peace in it and he decidedly isn’t peaceful. I love that
[name_m]Osric[/name_m]
I spent some time with the character and ended up naming him Chernobog. It fits his character A LOT. [name_m]King[/name_m] Chernobog. I’m saving those others you gave me, [name_u]Mischa[/name_u], for other random characters.
