I’m in the process of writing a novel but I can’t find the right names for any of my characters. I would love help!
I need girl name suggestions that are (1) totally unique and definitely in the fantasy realm, (2) nothing that’s been used in other well-known fantasy books/movies (NO Bella or Edwards, please!), and (3) names that have a reference to nature and music in them. Anything is appreciated and the weirder the better!!
I don’t know much about names of that realm, but I’d look at the Latin names for trees and flowers. [name]Just[/name] looking online, here were some tree varieties:
Ilex (genus of the black alder tree)
Thuja (genus of the arborvitae)
Fraxinus (" ash tree) - maybe Frax or Xinus would work, too?
[name]Betula[/name] (" birch)
[name]Nyssa[/name] (" black gum)
Aesculus (" buckeye)
Pavi (species name for the scarlet & red varieties or buckeyes)
Castanea (genus for chestnut)
[name]Melia[/name] (" for chinaberry)
Aronia (" for red chokecherry)
Here’s a site that might help with English, French, and Latin flower names: EarthlyPursuits
And for musical terms, this might help? http://www.classicalworks.com/html/glossary.html
Good luck
[name]Melisande[/name]
[name]Sande[/name]
[name]Cassandre[/name]
[name]Celestine[/name]
[name]Hania[/name]
Those are totally unique! Thanks so much for your help!
