I need help finding the perfect name for my character. She’s a really sweet and caring person. And very pretty. Only one problem, she’s an alien from a destroyed. Kind of like Superman. She’s a little bit traumatized by it all, and she’s only 6!!! Something sweet, slightly formal and exotic but with a cute nn. Thanks!
My first thought was [name]Penrose[/name], with nickname options [name]Penny[/name], [name]Rose[/name], [name]Pim[/name] (I personally really like this!), [name]Pen[/name], [name]Rosie[/name], [name]Rosa[/name]…
Others:

I tend to think of long, elaborate names, usually from nature or mythology. I tried not to list things normally found on nameberry for modern kids to meet your formal, exotic, and sweet criteria.
[name]Melisande[/name] – [name]Meli[/name], [name]Milly[/name], An
[name]Millicent[/name] – [name]Milly[/name] or Cent (play on words --> sent?)
[name]Gwendolyn[/name] – Doly instead of [name]Gwen[/name]
[name]Vasilisa[/name] – Vee
Hannania – elaborated Biblical name
[name]Drucilla[/name] - [name]Dru[/name] or [name]Drury[/name]
[name]Priscilla[/name] - [name]Prissy[/name]
[name]Iseult[/name] - [name]Izzy[/name]?
Olleander - [name]Ollie[/name] or [name]Ann/name
Orlandra - [name]Andra[/name]
Normindy - [name]Mindy[/name]
[name]Hilaria[/name] - [name]Hill[/name], Hillie, [name]Ria[/name]
Calendula - [name]Cal[/name], [name]Callie[/name]
Sallietta - [name]Sal[/name] or [name]Sally[/name]
I have no idea if that helps, but I had fun thinking of them!
do NOT do something like [name]Guinivere[/name], as BBC has that covered, let alone [name]Morgana[/name], as BBC has that covered as well. I’d have to suggest something like [name]Elizabeth[/name], nn [name]Lizzie[/name]/[name]Beth[/name], [name]Liza[/name], [name]Liz[/name] or [name]Eliza[/name].
