Classy, but modern (Harry Potter style) names

Writers' Corner

Hey guys! :smiley:

I’m writing a novel and I am looking for classy, modern, [name]Harry[/name] [name]Potter[/name] style names. I just need names for a few of the characters.

Main Character (boy) - bright, adventurous, but not buff or anything like a jock. He does diving but doesn’t attend meets. He’s the [name]Hero[/name] of Elsgood but if he could be labeled as anything, he’s unsure, insecure, and unheroic. However, he has the uncanny ability to see through people and lift people up when he is feeling down. I’m looking for names like [name]Felix[/name] or [name]Evan[/name] for him. I have his siblings names already. [name]Abilene[/name], [name]Jacob[/name], [name]Marietta[/name], and [name]Julienne[/name].

Co-main (girl) - the daughter of the queen (see below), an overachieving admiral in the Elsgood [name]Navy[/name], black belt holder in [name]Tae[/name]-Kwon-[name]Do[/name] and Kung fu, and a master equestrian. she has ice-blue hair always in a ponytail and pale skin. She’s very loud and outgoing but reserved and cautious towards people she doesn’t know. I’m pretty sure her name will be [name]Andromeda[/name] nn [name]Andy[/name] but because of the [name]Harry[/name] [name]Potter[/name] reference I’m not that happy with it…

Co-main (boy) - he’s kind of crazy (think [name]Luna[/name] Lovegood-type) but has the sweetest heart. He’s always the peacemaker and keeps spirits light. He’s kind of gullible, though, and believes what people tell him. He doesn’t originate from Elsgood (He comes from the faraway land of Warmsprint) but it’s his home now. For names, I’m looking for classy names (think [name]Ezra[/name])

Antagonist (girl) - very beautiful, seductive, disguises herself as part of the group. For now, her name within the group is [name]Mena[/name], with her full name being [name]Philomena[/name], but if [name]Felix[/name] is used as the MC, I don’t want a double f sound.

… and I’m having trouble with the [name]Queen[/name] and [name]King[/name]'s names. The queen is either [name]Madeira[/name] or [name]Elvira[/name]. I have NO ideas at all for the [name]King[/name]. I want them to be relatively similar to the co-main girl. Thank you so much! :D:D:D

[name]Hero[/name]: I like [name]Felix[/name] better than [name]Evan[/name]. I also like [name]Casper[/name] “Caz” but it feels a bit odd. [name]Calvin[/name]? [name]Quincy[/name]? I rather like [name]Quincy[/name] or [name]Felix[/name]. [name]Castor[/name]?
I don’t think [name]Andromeda[/name] would be a bad choice. I’ve just started reading the last [name]Harry[/name] [name]Potter[/name] book, but correct me if I’m wrong, [name]Andromeda[/name] [name]Black[/name] doesn’t seem like a major character to me at this point. Now if you liked [name]Bellatrix[/name], that would be another story…
I actually used [name]Andromeda[/name] nn [name]Andi[/name] in my last story (a [name]Narnia[/name]-esque type thing). But you could look at the whole gamut of other star related names, like [name]Cassiopeia[/name] nn [name]Cassie[/name]. Or you could look at this list: Star/Heavenly Names | Nameberry. What about Kastriel? Or [name]Talitha[/name]?
Boy: [name]Terin[/name]? [name]Percy[/name]? [name]Martin[/name]? [name]Leo[/name]. There it is! [name]Leo[/name]!
Antagonist: [name]Talitha[/name], [name]Alcyone[/name], [name]Ascella[/name]
[name]Queen[/name]: Austrina or [name]Elvira[/name]
[name]King[/name]: [name]Altair[/name], Asterion, Rastaban
