I have a challenge

General Name Discussion

… Or at least it’s a challenge for me. Can you make suggestions of names similar (in style) to each of my top 7 names for each gender. So names similar to [name_m]Caspian[/name_m], names similar to [name_u]Phoenix[/name_u] etc.

[name_m]Caspian[/name_m]
[name_u]Phoenix[/name_u]
[name_m]Ptolemy[/name_m]
[name_m]Artemus[/name_m]
[name_m]Lorenzo[/name_m]
[name_m]Nikolai[/name_m]
[name_m]Evander[/name_m]

[name_f]Pandora[/name_f]
[name_f]Evanthe[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]
Rowenna
[name_f]Phaedra[/name_f]
[name_f]Morgana[/name_f]
[name_f]Arabella[/name_f]

But! There are some rules (this is the challenging bit). They have to be 7 letters long (if anything else 8), and for girls, preferably not end in an -a. Good luck (and thanks)!

Challenge accepted. I tried to go for similar sound as well as similar style:

Caspian - Casimir
Phoenix - … man this one’s hard.
Ptolemy - Anatolio
Artemus - Arturas
Lorenzo - Fiorenzo
Nikolai - Nicodemus
Evander - Leander

I really struggled with the not-ending-in-a rule, so sorry in advance.

Pandora - Panthea
Evanthe - Ariadne
Beatrix - Lettice
Rowenna - Lowenna
Phaedra - Adrienne (as add-ree-en)
Morgana - Morrigan
Arabella - Amaranthe

Some of them I have left out because I couldn’t think of anything different from what @renrose said

[name_m]Caspian[/name_m] - [name_m]Cassius[/name_m], [name_m]Cassian[/name_m]
[name_u]Phoenix[/name_u] - [name_m]Gryphon[/name_m]/[name_m]Griffin[/name_m] (because they’re both mythological birds)
[name_m]Artemus[/name_m] - [name_m]Perseus[/name_m], [name_m]Leander[/name_m]
[name_m]Evander[/name_m] - [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m]

[name_f]Pandora[/name_f] - [name_f]Theodora[/name_f], [name_f]Isadora[/name_f] (I know they end in an a, but it’s really hard!)
[name_f]Evanthe[/name_f] - [name_f]Amaryllis[/name_f], [name_f]Hyacinth[/name_f] (I know, too long), [name_u]Juniper[/name_u]
Rowenna - [name_f]Ceridwen[/name_f], [name_f]Morwenna[/name_f]
[name_f]Phaedra[/name_f] - [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]

Apologies, I kind of failed at following the rules :slight_smile:
