As the title says, I need name suggestions. I’m writing a story, but I’m having difficulty getting started because the main character doesn’t have a name.
Here are some things that may help you with suggestions:
The story’s genre is horror fantasy, and I want a madness to the story alongside realistic, gory, horror scenes. The name needs to fit the tone.
The main character is a girl, around 16 years old when the story begins. She was born to a wealthy family in a small town. Her father and older sister are dead. She is indifferent to her mother (but that will change as character development happens). She’s able to see ghosts.
Since her parents named her, here is an overview of how they are.
Her mother grieved the loss of her husband, neglecting her daughter. When the main character’s sister went missing, her mother numbed herself and became distant. The main character didn’t mind, as she felt her mother never cared for her.
While her mother seems so cruel, she loves her, children. After the loss of one and the main character’s personality, she finds it difficult to reconnect with the her daughter. Overall, her mother is loving but, doesn’t know how to show her feelings. She tries to fix the damage she created.
Her father was a busy man, with some eccentricities. Due to this, he became neglectful of his family. Overall, her father was entitled and had his priorities in the wrong place. He is a stubborn man with insatiable curiosity.
The main character has thick black hair, wavy and around shoulder-length. She has fair skin and is on the thin side. Around medium height. Her eyes are a dark grey and her resting face is stoic, with intense eyes. Her appearance is ethereal, think old hollywood. Main character mostly resembles her father with her mother’s eyes.
Her personality is fearful, with pieces of anger and vulnerability. She likes talking and cracking jokes, but has a difficult time talking about her problems and feelings.
I’ve been having trouble coming up with names for her, because the name needs to fit in while still being unique. It also needs to fit her personality, the tone of the story and what her parents would name her. I know these are ridiculous requirements, but I really hope you all can help me find the perfect name.
Thanks in advance!
Sophie came to mind, as well as [name_f]Natalie[/name_f], [name_f]Olivia[/name_f], [name_u]Bailey[/name_u], [name_f]Callie[/name_f] and [name_f]Adrienne[/name_f].
I think [name_f]Adrianna[/name_f], [name_f]Calla[/name_f], [name_u]Ember[/name_u] or [name_f]Marilyn[/name_f] would suit her well.
Based on your description of the character, maybe you could use [name_f]Caira[/name_f], [name_f]Alixandra[/name_f] (or any of the different spelling variations), [name_f]Erica[/name_f], [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f], [name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_f]Scarlet[/name_f] or [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f], [name_f]Selenia[/name_f], [name_f]Monia[/name_f], [name_f]Velia[/name_f], or [name_f]Idella[/name_f].
Thanks for the suggestions.
EllArePea: These names are nice and I may consider [name_f]Adrienne[/name_f], but I think these names lack some of the pizzazz I wanted, if that makes sense.
Sarah1694: I like the name [name_f]Calla[/name_f], might consider it. think [name_u]Ember[/name_u] is a very… how do I say… fiery name? While the main character isn’t submissive or quiet, the way she speaks is more like a sad coping mechanism that the other characters get sick of. [name_f]Adrianna[/name_f] is similar to [name_f]Adrienne[/name_f], and I like the latter better. [name_f]Marilyn[/name_f] is always tethered to the incredible [name_f]Marilyn[/name_f] [name_u]Monroe[/name_u], but it is a pretty name
JustAnotherGeerherl: I like these names, but some of them are a tad plain. I don’t think colour names will fit her very well, and [name_f]Alixandra[/name_f] is rather long and comes with the plain nickname of [name_u]Alex[/name_u]. I might look into the others.
I have another topic asking about my plot, which you can read if you want a better understand of how the story will be written.
Sorry for being picky, but I really do appreciate the suggestions!
