Edgy futuristic names

Writers' Corner
1

So I came up with an idea for a story about a futuristic crime syndicate but I’ve been having some trouble coming up with names for some of the characters. The story takes place about one hundred years in the future on an artificial archipelago created in the middle of the [name_m]Pacific[/name_m] [name_u]Ocean[/name_u] between [name_u]America[/name_u] and Japan.

I have several characters who need names including a female [name_f]Asian[/name_f] assassin who’s body is almost entirely made of metal, a male psychopath who is hired by and later joins the syndicate as an assassin, an AI, and the leader of the group who is in his mid to late fifties.

Names I have been considering for some of the characters are:

Sphinx for the woman/construct
Cipher for the AI
[name_m]Kane[/name_m] for the older man

I’d appreciate any input and would love to hear you ideas.

Here are some names I came up with for your characters. I’m working on a book idea as well, but it takes place REALLY far in the future (2166) where society favors the beautiful, smart, athletic, and talented and discards the “useless”.

Female Assasin:
[name_f]Nyx[/name_f]
[name_f]Nova[/name_f]
[name_u]Lynn[/name_u]
[name_f]Jacki[/name_f]
Anakai
[name_f]Io[/name_f]
Cyll (pronounced “sil”)
Cynder

Male Psycopath:
[name_m]Jakob[/name_m]
[name_m]Axel[/name_m]
[name_m]Trig[/name_m]
[name_m]Haze[/name_m]
[name_u]Niko[/name_u]
[name_m]Jake[/name_m]
[name_u]Jace[/name_u]
[name_m]Derrik[/name_m]
Volt

Middle Aged [name_m]Man[/name_m]:
[name_m]Nikkolas[/name_m]
[name_m]Garth[/name_m]
[name_m]Leon[/name_m]

AI: It would depend on what the AI was used for or was programmed into, or if it identified as a gender, but I have a few general suggestions.
Lei
[name_f]Cyn[/name_f]
Kyo
Nym
Code
Byte
Memor
Volt (yes, I know I repeated this)
[name_m]Sol[/name_m]

Yup, that’s all I got. [name_f]Hope[/name_f] it helped.:smiley:

~ I rather like the name Spinx for your female assassin, especially if its not her actual name- a codename or something to call her by. It evokes an image of mystery
