[name_m]Hi[/name_m]! I’m needing help naming some characters for a fantasy book.
Since it’s fantasy it has a unique culture. One of the cultural things effects the names, each person has a full name and a nickname, each is used in different situations or by different people, I’m still figuring out how it exactly works, so sorry if I’m vague or not clear.
If it helps my main character is named [name_f]Aeronwen[/name_f] (pronounced EYE-ron-WYN), nn [name_f]Ro[/name_f]
I wasn’t quite sure what style you wanted, so I took names from all different cultures in Europe, because that seemed to fit. Hope you find some you like!
