My new story features a couple who are forbidden to be in love because of their descent (one from the sun and one from the moon). I know the sun girls name, Elio Audra Sulien, but am having trouble with the boys name. He is descended from the moon goddess, so names from the ‘night’ (think moon, stars, darkness kind of meanings) are what I’m looking for. Any ideas?
The most on-the-nose choice would be [name_m]Apollo[/name_m].
The name [name_u]Jericho[/name_u] means “city of the moon”.
[name_f]My[/name_f] favorite way to create fantasy names is to look up words in Latin and make names out of those.
“Moon” in Latin is “luna”, so you could do Luno, or something.
“Dark” in Latin is “tenebris”, “caligo” or “nox”.
“Night” is “somnus”, “sidus”, or “arctos”.
“Star” is “astrum”, “lumen” or “stello”.
You could create some pretty cool names out of those!
Some male, night-inspired names could be: [name_u]Nyx[/name_u] or [name_f]Nox[/name_f], [name_u]Orion[/name_u], [name_m]Orpheus[/name_m], or [name_m]Luan[/name_m].
