Help me name my mage

Writers' Corner

I admit it, I’m writing Dragon Age fanfic. But my [name_u]Grey[/name_u] [name_m]Warden[/name_m] Amell still kind of lacks a first name since I’m not overly fond of Solona (partially because I confuse it with Surana every fourth time I think it).

My problem is coming up with something which feels like it fits into the Dragon Age universe as well as doesn’t sound kind of silly with the surname Amell (so basically anything with ell or elle ending it is going to sound ridiculously rhyme-y). I’m also kind of ignoring names which start or finish with a, so it doesn’t smush together with her surname.

For those of you who don’t know Dragon Age there is a list (not compiled by me) of names which already appear Dragon Age Names | Nameberry (does not include some of the base names for the player character like [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] or some of the family of my Amell such as her mother [name_f]Revka[/name_f] and uncle [name_m]Damion[/name_m])

At the moment main candidates are

[name_f]Ophelie[/name_f] Amell
[name_f]Maeve[/name_f] Amell
[name_f]Tanith[/name_f] Amell
[name_f]Jocelyn[/name_f] Amell
[name_f]Grace[/name_f] Amell

Help?

Out of your choices, I think [name_f]Tanith[/name_f] would fit in the best in the world of DA. [name_f]Ophelie[/name_f] is a nice choice too, but I think [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] would be a better alternate. It just seems to mesh better with the other characters’ names, imo. And yet, it blends in with Amell, so you can scrap that advice.

If you’re in search of more names, I second elifsu’s suggestions of [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] and [name_u]Meredith[/name_u]. Here are some that I found:

[name_f]Tamsin[/name_f]
[name_f]Celeste[/name_f]
[name_f]Adeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Violet[/name_f]
[name_m]Fate[/name_m]
[name_f]Eve[/name_f]
[name_f]Seraphine[/name_f]
[name_f]Hyacinth[/name_f]
[name_f]Rose[/name_f]/[name_f]Rosamund[/name_f]/[name_f]Rosalind[/name_f]
[name_f]Lillian[/name_f]
[name_f]Iris[/name_f]
[name_f]Ferelith[/name_f]
[name_u]Blair[/name_u]
[name_u]Robin[/name_u]

You could always do [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] “[name_f]Bea[/name_f]” [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] if that works for you, or [name_f]Tabitha[/name_f] “[name_f]Tabby[/name_f]” [name_f]Margaret[/name_f].

lmao, I never got past the dwarf caverns in DA: Origins.

I like [name_f]Tanith[/name_f], [name_f]Jocelyn[/name_f], [name_f]Corinne[/name_f], [name_f]Tamsin[/name_f] and [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] of the previously suggested.

Some others: [name_f]Odette[/name_f], [name_f]Alicia[/name_f], [name_f]Adaline[/name_f]
