Help! I need some word names

so in my book, a lot of the characters are going to have word names, right now I have

[name_u]Science[/name_u] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]
Civil [name_f]Rose[/name_f]
and [name_f]Sunday[/name_f] [name_u]Louise[/name_u]
picked out for some of the girls

and for the boys I have
[name_m]Baron[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_m]Flint[/name_m] [name_u]Michael[/name_u]
[name_u]Arrow[/name_u] [name_u]Jackson[/name_u]
and [name_m]Saber[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m]

Well, there are lots of different categories of word names.

There’s virtue names, like [name_u]Reason[/name_u], [name_u]Courage[/name_u], [name_m]Fortitude[/name_m], [name_u]Promise[/name_u], [name_f]Clarity[/name_f], etc.

Then there’s the jewel/gem names, like [name_f]Sapphire[/name_f], [name_u]Garnet[/name_u], [name_f]Emerald[/name_f], [name_u]Ivory[/name_u] and more

There’s also the month/day names. [name_f]Tuesday[/name_f], [name_u]December[/name_u], [name_u]July[/name_u], and I see you have [name_f]Sunday[/name_f]

Also, zodiac signs and planets work well as names. [name_f]Libra[/name_f], [name_u]Jupiter[/name_u], [name_f]Venus[/name_f], [name_u]Gemini[/name_u], [name_m]Scorpio[/name_m] etc.

There’s a lot more categories, but here’s a few miscellaneous ones. [name_u]Royal[/name_u], [name_u]Dove[/name_u], [name_u]Harbor[/name_u], [name_f]Strawberry[/name_f], [name_u]Rain[/name_u], [name_u]Ash[/name_u], [name_u]Night[/name_u], [name_u]Ocean[/name_u], [name_f]Maple[/name_f], [name_f]Easter[/name_f], [name_u]Bright[/name_u], and even [name_f]Kitten[/name_f]!

I encourage you to search this website too, to get names that are closer to your style/what you want :slight_smile:

(P.S. I really like the name Civil! Too bad it’s not in the database here)

Your boy names are really cool!

[name_u]Valiant[/name_u]
[name_u]True[/name_u]

[name_u]Pine[/name_u]
[name_f]Reverie[/name_f]
[name_f]Calla[/name_f]
[name_f]Delta[/name_f]
[name_u]Journey[/name_u]

There are more common ones, like…

[name_u]Pepper[/name_u] for a girl, [name_u]Dune[/name_u] for a boy

[name_f]My[/name_f] favorites are [name_u]Peregrine[/name_u] and [name_u]Indigo[/name_u]!

I feel you with the surname thing – my surname is a country, and word names sound weird with it, but I’d love to change my name to [name_u]Rain[/name_u] if it sounded alright. Which, alas, it does not.
