These names are intersting- when is [name]Riley[/name] born? [name]Riley[/name] suggests between 1990 and present day. Some of these are nice, and some of these are a bit too unique for my taste. Between Tzar (which looks like a mispelling of the word Tsar) and [name]Oscar[/name], I’d pick [name]Oscar[/name]. Kolvin looks like an odd variation of [name]Kevin[/name], and Rozgar make sme think of a villian from a cartoon in the 80’s. Is Azdar a man or a woman? A lot of these are very z/v heavy, which makes them harder to read.
I think it’d be best to lean more towards “normal” names since the unusual names are so unusual (people may be confused on how they’re pronounced or just confused overall.) They’re especially unusual when the main charater has such a normal name.
I hope that wasn’t too harsh. Good luck with your story.
