I dont know how to name him! D:

Hello, I’m writing a fantasy story and I’m having a lot of problems with the male protagonist’s name. I’m utterly confused with what to do. Can you help? :(:

So at the beginning he was named [name_m]Alexander[/name_m], not shortened. But I think it doesn’t fit with the rest of the names in the story. (I loove [name_m]Alexander[/name_m]! But is too common)
He is prince and future king. He is a warior, smart, a great liar, sassy, protective and brave to the point of being reckless. He was an asset of the bad guy at first. He is about twenty, some fear him and some love him. He has magical control over fire.
Normal names in my story are Brandon, Lena and Julian. Sigrid, Adira, Nereus and Bellator are other characters. Farene (far-ee-n) is the female protagonist. So you get an idea.

So far these are my other options:
Darnean
Arlan
Andret
Aedus
Eadric
Darian
Elric
Can you suggest others? I would like strong, handsome names maybe with some cool meaning. Anything is appreciated!

I’m thinking he can have two names. I like Aedus and Andret for mn. I was thinking on Elec as nn for [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] (weird I know) I don’t like the other nn for this. I though about Alessander too, but I like it more with X.
Other names I considered:
Eleizer
Alessio
Kai
Esmond

Update: Which name sounds better from those?
I’m thinking on Einar Alexander, but I’m not sure it fits him and the last name is a problem. Einar Riverty? :confused: that doesn’t work. Thank you for your help

I found the name Anaxander recently. It was the name of a Spartan king. An alternate name is Anaxandros, and to the best of my knowledge, it’s pronounced [name_f]Ann[/name_f]-ax-ann-der/dros.

Here are some more:

[name_m]Ajax[/name_m]
Xavien
Iskander
[name_m]Atlas[/name_m]
[name_m]Valerian[/name_m] (means “strength”)
[name_m]Alaric[/name_m]
[name_m]Altair[/name_m]
Lias
[name_m]Lucan[/name_m]
Seraphino/Seraphinus (Masculine of [name_f]Seraphina[/name_f], which means ‘fiery’)
[name_m]Seraphim[/name_m] (Means “burning one”)
Daen
Rhine
[name_m]Castor[/name_m]
[name_u]Adan[/name_u] (Variation of [name_u]Aiden[/name_u], meaning ‘little fire’)
Arion
[name_u]Vesper[/name_u] (“evening star”)
[name_m]Dante[/name_m]
[name_m]Massimo[/name_m]
[name_m]Asher[/name_m]
[name_m]Ezra[/name_m]
[name_m]Salvador[/name_m]
[name_m]Vittorio[/name_m]

Thanks! I think I’ll keep [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] for now. I was looking for more fantastical names, so I don’t know what to do. I like Aegean ( too pretentious? Weird? ) and [name_u]Rhys[/name_u] too.
