[name_m]Hi[/name_m] y’all!
I am currently writing a play and am in need of some name ideas for a character. I am someone who is intentional in naming her characters, so meaning of names matters to me.
The character that I am looking to name is essentially a scared child who’s very real fears are dismissed by those around her. She just wants to be believed.
I am looking at element names, specifically water because I think that imagery aligns very well with my play in a metaphorical sense. But I am open to anything!
[name_f]Marea[/name_f] is a name that I really like, but am not sold on.
Any suggestions appreciated.

[name_m]Esca[/name_m] is another idea, and [name_f]Marlowe[/name_f].
One that isn’t water related but I immediately thought of from your character description, because of the meaning, is [name_f]Perdita[/name_f].
Also [name_f]Alara[/name_f] - water fairy and river-related names:
[name_f]Tamar[/name_f]
[name_f]Triana[/name_f]
[name_f]Rilla[/name_f] and [name_f]Rella[/name_f].
