I need to come up with a name for the antagonist of my book but can’t find any that fit. She’s in her late teens/early twenties (still working on the age) and is described as: rebellious, independent, strong willed, fierce, stubborn, argumentative, resistant to authority, confident, opinionated, impatient, ruthless, and impulsive. She also takes action when needed, gets bored easily, and doesn’t budge on her ideals. In the book, she is described as short (I’m putting her around 5’3) with dyed red curly hair and has a biker chic kind of style. She is a witch that is constantly trying to overthrow the protagonist’s ([name_u]Ashton[/name_u]) efforts. I posted about this on another site but want some other ideas. From the suggestions people gave me I like [name_u]Darcy[/name_u], [name_u]Alex[/name_u]/[name_f]Alexandra[/name_f], [name_f]Cleo[/name_f],and [name_f]Lilith[/name_f].
Your names sound quite present time, not futuristic or classical. They have just a bit of edge to them. For an antagonistic girl, I’d say names such as [name_f]Raegan[/name_f] (or [name_u]Reagan[/name_u]), [name_f]Carlie[/name_f] ([name_f]Carly[/name_f], [name_f]Carley[/name_f]), [name_f]Penelope[/name_f], [name_f]Kara[/name_f], [name_f]Vera[/name_f], [name_f]Essie[/name_f] (short for [name_f]Elise[/name_f]), [name_f]Tatiana[/name_f], [name_f]Freya[/name_f], [name_f]Cora[/name_f], [name_f]Kiara[/name_f], [name_f]Isobel[/name_f], [name_u]Charlie[/name_u], [name_f]Evangelina[/name_f], Viper, [name_u]Cory[/name_u] (short for [name_f]Coral[/name_f], [name_f]Coraline[/name_f], [name_f]Caroline[/name_f])
[name_f]Mallory[/name_f]
[name_f]Ciara[/name_f]
[name_f]Katia[/name_f]/[name_f]Katja[/name_f]
[name_u]Reese[/name_u]
[name_u]Devon[/name_u]
[name_u]Zephyr[/name_u]
[name_f]Circe[/name_f]
[name_f]Nyx[/name_f]
[name_f]Blayke[/name_f]/[name_u]Blake[/name_u]/[name_u]Blakeley[/name_u]/[name_u]Blakely[/name_u]
[name_u]Spencer[/name_u]
[name_f]Sinead[/name_f], [name_f]Sienna[/name_f], [name_f]Mazarine[/name_f], [name_u]Romy[/name_u], [name_f]Miranda[/name_f], [name_f]Astrid[/name_f], [name_f]Alana[/name_f], [name_f]Pandora[/name_f], [name_f]Tempest[/name_f], Jonx, [name_u]Sasha[/name_u], [name_u]Ember[/name_u], [name_u]Zola[/name_u], [name_f]Tanith[/name_f], [name_f]Tanis[/name_f]
[name_f]Becca[/name_f], [name_f]Kali[/name_f]/[name_f]Kallie[/name_f], [name_u]Jacey[/name_u], [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f], [name_f]Cora[/name_f], [name_f]Samara[/name_f], [name_u]Quinn[/name_u], [name_u]Eloise[/name_u], [name_f]Amara[/name_f], [name_f]Harriet[/name_f], [name_f]Zena[/name_f]
I like [name_f]Lilith[/name_f], it seems to suit the character well. Other suggestions are:
[name_f]Livia[/name_f]
[name_f]Anastasia[/name_f]
[name_f]Ginger[/name_f] (could provide backstory on why she has the dyed red hair)
[name_f]Alexa[/name_f] (could still go by [name_u]Alex[/name_u] but less frilly and common than [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f])
