I need a name for my brainiac

Writers' Corner

This character is, to say the least, a caricature of myself, so I’d like to find a name that fit’s my personality but her image-- I have bushy brown-blonde hair whereas she has wavy brown-blonde hair. She’s exactly like me, but she’s got nice hair.

This is a basic description of her:

Scholarly and ambitious, she’s the genius of the group. She is quite resourceful and cunning. She can be a bit perplexing, which can help in certain cases. She is very brave, but she doesn’t think bravery matters much. With icy bluish-gray eyes and wavy blonde-brown hair, she’s beautiful, but hardly anyone notices.

I would like her name to be very uncommon and perhaps mythological or literary, due to her fascination with knowledge.

Hahaha at least you’re honest about it.

Well, what’s YOUR name? Maybe a play on that, or your initials.

[name]Artemis[/name]
[name]Athena[/name]/[name]Minerva[/name] (goddess of knowledge in Greek/[name]Roman[/name] mythology)
[name]Julia[/name]
[name]Avalon[/name]
[name]Rory[/name]
[name]Thisbe[/name]
[name]Trinity[/name]
[name]Ginevra[/name]
[name]Octavia[/name]
[name]Lucretia[/name]
[name]Helena[/name]
[name]Genevieve[/name]

Yes, at least I’m not a liar. :slight_smile:
Thanks.

I was considering [name]Avalon[/name], but I don’t know.

I also need a middle name as well as a surname.

[name]Avalon[/name] makes me think of a badass girl who happens to wear glasses.

For a middle name, pick some other aspect of her personality and use that. Like firstname=smartness middlename=bravery lastname=somethingelse.

Or go for irony! I love naming ironically.

5

Haha yeah, or I was going to put [name]Mary[/name]-[name]Sue[/name].

6

Well, my name’s [name]Abbigail[/name]. Nothing there that I can really work with. God, I hate my name…

Here goes (Names? Me? You are asking me? Hey, but that’s why I came here!) [name]Just[/name] joking, glad to help (if I actually end up helping):

First:

[name]Athena[/name] (goddess of knowledge, right? Goes well with the personality, and also the goddess of war, which goes with the bravery.)
[name]Erin[/name] (for some reason that strikes me as a smart-brave name…don’t know why! Not so unusual, but oh well)
[name]Ebony[/name]

Middle:

[name]Amber[/name] (middle or first, really)
[name]Wanda[/name] (kind of a dorky-turned-cool name, but I like it for the character)

Last:

[name]Everly[/name]
Wish
[name]Berne[/name]

By the way, just putting it out there, but I despise idiots, too. I’m with you completely on that one. (And yet, somehow, I always end up in the same room as at least four of them.)

9

I was thinking of using [name]Everly[/name], but it’s a bit close to [name]Beverly[/name].

10

I always seem to think of last names that end in -ly

11

I like the suggestion of [name]Athena[/name]! Or [name]Minerva[/name] :slight_smile:

Actually, [name]Minerva[/name] sounds perfect for your alter ego! Super smart, brainy, a little funky, and classic :slight_smile:

12

[name]How[/name] 'bout [name]Minerva[/name] [name]Athena[/name] ______ (insert last name) or [name]Athena[/name] [name]Minerva[/name] _____?

(I like those two names for this character, too, even though I am not fond of the name [name]Minerva[/name])
