Hi everyone,
I’m working on a book and am in need of a few name ideas. In this book, each character’s name tells a little bit of the story, and a little about themselves. Also, this book is part one of a trilogy, and a character’s name (either their first, middle, or last name) will be the title of each book.
So, for one of the secondary characters — a burly, outdoorsy lumberjack in his early 20s — I need a name, which will act as either his first, middle, or last name, that means “family” or “protector,” as the most important things to him in life are his family and friends, and he goes above and beyond to ensure their safety. If possible, the more epic the name, the better, as that name will probably be the title of the second book.
It’s also worth mentioning this character is of Scottish descent, so something of Hispanic origin, for example, won’t fit properly with the other names.
I’m also in need of a first name for a female character. She’s of English descent. I’d like a name for her that means “wild” or “wilderness.”
