Ayyyyy
So I got the idea for a kind of modern, YA version of [name_m]Little[/name_m] [name_u]Red[/name_u] Riding hood, but I need help choosing names for the two MCs. POV will change between the wolf and [name_m]Little[/name_m] [name_u]Red[/name_u], but I’m actually thinking of changing the colour to blue or something like that just to give it a twist.
So [name_m]Little[/name_m] [name_u]Red[/name_u] is shy but a fighter, very polite, mostly feminine. I was thinking of [name_f]Nora[/name_f] or [name_u]Lisa[/name_u], but [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] is also a possibility. Maybe I could name her [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] just to be ironic. Looking for a feminine, old-fashioned but elegant name.
The wolf basically a werewolf, so obviously something very masculine and rugged, but offbeat. His mood is constantly changing, since he’s conflicted between his emotions for [name_m]Little[/name_m] [name_u]Red[/name_u] and the fact that she doesn’t belong in his world. He can seem cold and unfeeling one moment, but sweet and gentle the next. Sarcastic, dark sense of humor.
Please help me out! Thx so much, Chickies!

Edit: So far, the names I have for the wolf are Nero and, well, Wolf. I like Wolf, but I kind of like Nero better since it’s more original. But the only problem is that I’m leaning towards Nora as the name for Little Blue. (I have indeed decided it’s going to be Little Blue Riding Hood) I have a pretty extensive name list for her, but I like Nora, Rosamund (Rosa or Roz), Crystal (Crys), Linna, Anna, or Juliet. I still prefer Nora, but Nora and Nero…? Not to mention Little Blue basically names him, so that’s like the male version of her name, which is a little weird. What do you think? I’d love any suggestions!
I like [name_m]Nero[/name_m] for the wolf a lot better than [name_m]Wolf[/name_m]- it’s a lot more unique. You might want to consider the historical origin of the name though- Emperor [name_m]Nero[/name_m] of Ancient [name_m]Rome[/name_m] was a very cruel and evil historical figure. (Unless you want to convey that with his name.) [name_f]Nora[/name_f] and [name_m]Nero[/name_m]… I agree that the names are too similar. For [name_m]Little[/name_m] [name_u]Blue[/name_u], I like the names [name_f]Crystal[/name_f], [name_f]Linna[/name_f], and [name_f]Juliet[/name_f]. Another name I would suggest is [name_f]Olivia[/name_f], [name_f]Livia[/name_f] for short. [name_f]Livia[/name_f] means blue, so it would tie in to the [name_m]Little[/name_m] [name_u]Blue[/name_u] Riding Hood thing.
Good luck with your story! I like the idea!
violet_writer thanks for the suggestions! Really glad to have finally gotten a reply, my friends were tired of hearing me stressing over it lol. I agree about the name [name_m]Wolf[/name_m], it’s pretty bland and unoriginal, but I’d have to give up one of them, I guess. Unfortunately I can’t use the name [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] since it reminds me of someone I used to know, but I do like [name_f]Livia[/name_f]. [name_f]Livia[/name_f] and [name_f]Linna[/name_f] sound alike, and both mean blue. I do like [name_f]Livia[/name_f] more than [name_f]Linna[/name_f] though. I still really like [name_f]Nora[/name_f], but if I’m willing so sacrifice that I’d either choose [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] or [name_f]Livia[/name_f]. As of right now, I’m undecided on the names, but I’ll probably put some of the story up once I’ve wrote it. Thanks so much for the input!
For your red riding hood character you could give her names meaning blue. Violet_rider suggested [name_f]Livia[/name_f], which I really like, but if you’re still looking for names here are some that mean blue:
[name_u]Indigo[/name_u]
[name_u]Cerulean[/name_u]
[name_u]Blue[/name_u]
Cornflower- it’s both a flower and a color
[name_u]Sky[/name_u]/[name_u]Skye[/name_u]
[name_f]Azure[/name_f]/[name_f]Azura[/name_f]
[name_f]Sapphire[/name_f] or [name_f]Sapphira[/name_f]/[name_f]Saffira[/name_f]
[name_u]Cyan[/name_u]/Cyanne
Other names that aren’t related to blue:
[name_f]Serene[/name_f]/[name_f]Serena[/name_f]
[name_f]Naya[/name_f]
[name_f]Leyanne[/name_f]
[name_f]Sylvie[/name_f]/[name_f]Sylvia[/name_f]
[name_f]Mina[/name_f]/[name_f]Mena[/name_f]
[name_f]Mira[/name_f]
Lalaine
[name_f]Eva[/name_f] or [name_f]Eve[/name_f]
[name_f]Leona[/name_f] or [name_f]Leonie[/name_f]- I think it would be a rather ironic name since this means lion and he’s a wolf.
Liviana- which is another form of [name_f]Livia[/name_f]
[name_f]Lorelei[/name_f]- I kind of like this for your character.
[name_f]Julia[/name_f], [name_f]Juliana[/name_f] or [name_f]Julietta[/name_f]- since you like [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] these names might strike your fancy.
I like [name_m]Nero[/name_m] for the wolf’s name. It’s not a very common name and it’s short and strong as a name.
Good luck with your story
