Okay, so I was in the midst of art block when I stumbled into this style system called fantastical beauty, and I decided I would draw 1 girl for each of the style catagories. The problem is, I like for each of the characters I draw to have a name (odd habit, but I feel like it helps people connect to the art). Can someone help me find names that would match up with each of these catagories?
- Valkyrie (I am thinking any famous warrior name or name meaning strength would work here)
- Maenad (This is the one that stumped me)
- Dragon princess (any name that relates to dragons, gemstones, or royalty probaby)
- [name_f]Fae[/name_f] (flower or fruit names would work here)
- Nymph (I am trying to find a list of all the nymphs from greek mythology for this one. Please post your favorite)
- Mermaid (I would prefer a name that mean “of the sea” or just sea instead of picking a name like ariel)
- [name_u]Magic[/name_u] [name_f]Queen[/name_f] (any name meaning royalty)
- [name_u]Angel[/name_u] (please post your favorite biblical names, or just names that mean “____ of god”)
- Seer (another catagory that stumped me)

I’ll try and come up with two ideas for each
Valkyrie: Skadi or [name_f]Matilda[/name_f]
Maenad: [name_f]Ariadne[/name_f] or [name_f]Fiona[/name_f] ([name_f]Ariadne[/name_f] for the mortal than [name_m]Bacchus[/name_m] married, [name_f]Fiona[/name_f] meaning “wine”)
Dragon [name_f]Princess[/name_f]: [name_f]Sapphira[/name_f] or [name_f]Jade[/name_f]
[name_f]Fae[/name_f]: [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] or [name_f]Leilani[/name_f]
Nymph: Erato or [name_u]Calypso[/name_u]
Mermaid: [name_f]Maris[/name_f] or [name_f]Nerissa[/name_f]
[name_u]Magic[/name_u] [name_f]Queen[/name_f]: [name_f]Adelina[/name_f] or [name_f]Morrigan[/name_f]
[name_u]Angel[/name_u]: [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] or [name_f]Eliana[/name_f]
Seer: [name_f]Vera[/name_f] or [name_f]Alethea[/name_f] (both meaning “truth”)
Valkyrie: [name_f]Athena[/name_f]/Athene, [name_f]Freya[/name_f], [name_u]Joan[/name_u] (I suggest avoiding [name_f]Minerva[/name_f], [name_f]Athena[/name_f]’s roman form, because she isn’t a goddess of war anymore.)
Maenead: (stripper names?)
Dragon [name_f]Princess[/name_f]: [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] (all jewels come from the earth, which Hades and [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] control)
[name_f]Fae[/name_f]: The genuses of plants. E. G. Anisocarpus, [name_f]Belladonna[/name_f], Carlquistia, Osmadenia
Nymph: [name_m]Just[/name_m] use nature names in general.
Mermaid: [name_f]Aqua[/name_f], and then marine animal genuses.
[name_u]Magic[/name_u] [name_f]Queen[/name_f]: Medusa (means queen)
[name_u]Angel[/name_u]: Suffix -el means “of God”.
Seer: [name_f]Cassandra[/name_f] (a seer cursed by [name_m]Apollo[/name_m] with the gift of divination, but nobody would believe her. Predicted the fall of [name_m]Troy[/name_m].)
