I have a fantasy character who needs a name; I had named her [name_f]Mia[/name_f], but decided I didn’t like her overall character, so now I switched it around and I’m not sure what her name should be. In the first book she is seven, second she is thirteen, third eighteen. In the first book she is kidnapped by an evil sorcerer in hopes that her cousin might stop the rebellion army, he is doing that with all other members of the army to stop their rebellion. Second book, [name_f]Angela[/name_f](her cousin, reconsidering that name too) has died fighting [name_m]Jared[/name_m] [name_u]Marsh[/name_u], and this character thinks it’s her fault, while feeling guilty about romantic interests because she feels she shouldn’t be thinking about things like that when [name_f]Angela[/name_f] is dead. Third book, she doesn’t appear much, but she is basically a guiding and warning figure to the protagonist of that book, [name_u]Rae[/name_u]. She is tall, blond, green eyes, pretty skinny. Personality wise, first book she is very loving and sweet, second book, rebellious and loyal to a fault, third book, like I said, mostly just a guiding and warning figure. Also, she can sometimes give up on things easily; she quits the rebel army, decides all hope is gone on more than one occasion, and basically tells [name_u]Rae[/name_u] her quest is hopeless. My series is a trilogy, the first book being The Spark, second The [name_u]Flame[/name_u], third The [name_u]Blaze[/name_u]. Any help for a new name for [name_f]Mia[/name_f] or for [name_f]Angela[/name_f] would be appreciated.
Naming fantasy characters for others is hard because you never know what “feel” they’re going for. From the names you mentioned, it could be urban fantasy, but from the plot, it probably isn’t? Is it a Tolkien-like world? Are all characters you mentioned human? What are other characters called?
Without further info, you could rename [name_f]Mia[/name_f]: [name_f]Ella[/name_f], [name_f]Jane[/name_f], [name_f]May[/name_f], [name_f]Lila[/name_f], [name_f]Isla[/name_f], [name_f]Eve[/name_f], [name_f]Belle[/name_f], [name_f]Hazel[/name_f], [name_u]Ruby[/name_u], [name_u]Luca[/name_u], [name_f]Emma[/name_f]
You could rename [name_f]Angela[/name_f]: [name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f], [name_u]Sierra[/name_u], [name_f]Ginevra[/name_f], Lioba, [name_f]Lavinia[/name_f], [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f], [name_f]Olivia[/name_f], [name_f]Oceana[/name_f]
I love [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] and [name_f]Violet[/name_f]! I think I’ll use that!
