4--This Name for a Witch?

Genre of [name_u]Story[/name_u]: (Romance, Sci-Fi, Historical, [name_f]Fantasy[/name_f] etc) [name_u]Urban[/name_u] fantasy, kind of a little bit like the [name_m]Harry[/name_m] [name_m]Potter[/name_m] series.

Time Period/Location: (e.g 1912, Djibouti)–modern day [name_u]America[/name_u].

Brief Plot: (You don’t have to give everything away but any important facts should be included here, for example: the new [name_m]King[/name_m] banned any names beginning with the letter A)–[name_f]My[/name_f] main character comes from a family of dark witches, but she’s actually good at heart. She rebels against her parents and older brother.

Character Names:: (List the character names you want assessed for cohesion here) [name_f]Nyx[/name_f] [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] Moonlight; [name_m]Lucifer[/name_m] [name_m]Othello[/name_m] Moonlight “[name_m]Luc[/name_m]” (older brother)

Anything else?: (Any other relevant information) None, really. The girl has long dark hair. Also, I’d like some thoughts on the overall plot of it. :slight_smile:

I’m not trying to offend you, but the names you have listed are stereotypical names for a witch or wizard. Specifically the last name. [name_m]Lucifer[/name_m] could work, but I feel like [name_f]Nyx[/name_f] wouldn’t.

A name for the character. [name_u]Raven[/name_u] might fit, and it’s not too “out there.” [name_f]Nisha[/name_f] might.

Yeah, I’m really awful with last names, tbh. Maybe [name_f]Ravenna[/name_f] could work for the MC? I don’t want to use [name_u]Raven[/name_u] because it’s a spelling of my name. :wink:

Moonlight isn’t terrible as a last name, but it is kind of pretentious. Maybe something that doesn’t scream “witch” as much, but still meets the standards of being a witch name, if that makes sense. I’m not good at choosing surnames either. :confused:

I actually like [name_f]Nyx[/name_f] [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] for the girl. If anything, it’s [name_m]Lucifer[/name_m] that is too much for me. Too devilish. [name_m]Lucian[/name_m], perhaps?

[name_f]Ravenna[/name_f] is okay. I understand why you don’t want to use [name_u]Raven[/name_u] since it is a spelling of your name.

I hope my opinion helped. The plot actually sounds interesting, too. :wink:

Thanks. :slight_smile:

Perhaps use a name of one of the Puritans accused of witchcraft (or one of their accusers). You can google the names. There’s a [name_u]Salem[/name_u], MA site w/a lot of info.
