So I created a character, [name_m]Calix[/name_m] [name_m]Anton[/name_m], for the lovely Title and Blurb game, and I’m thinking about expanding that short little synopsis into an actual story. And for that, of course, I need names.
Calix’s character is greatly impacted by his family, and I’d like to decide on names for them, but I’m having trouble with a few characters:
*His father, the [name_m]Commodore[/name_m] of an esteemed navy, who is manipulative, cold, and distant.
*His oldest half brother, high-ranking, hard, and stubborn. Desperate for his father’s approval and obsessed with his rank, he’s had a history of unkindness towards his illegitimate brother.
*And then names for his half sisters, two by his father and one by his mother. I’m considering [name_f]Estelle[/name_f], [name_f]Allura[/name_f], and [name_f]Jessa[/name_f], but I think I’m not particularly sold on any of them.
So yeah, nothing like some complicated family dynamics to start off the day! As for the style, I don’t have any particular origins or meanings in mind. I just want them to sounds relatively otherworldly and unlike names we encounter in our everyday lives.
Thank you and have a great day!!
