It’s me again! So, in the book I’m writing, there are a set of twins (a boy and a girl). They come from a rather sinister family, so I would like to give them names with darker meanings. I’m leaning towards [name_f]Mallory[/name_f] for the girl, but I have no idea what to name the boy. Can you help me out?
Boy names:
[name_u]Sullivan[/name_u] (dark eyes)
[name_m]Adrian[/name_m] (dark)
[name_u]Blake[/name_u] (dark)
[name_m]Donovan[/name_m] (dark warrior)
[name_u]Douglas[/name_u] (dark water)
[name_u]Kieron[/name_u]/[name_u]Kieran[/name_u] (little dark one)
Girl names:
[name_f]Adriana[/name_f] (dark)
[name_f]Bronwyn[/name_f] (dark and pure)
[name_u]Carey[/name_u] (dark one)
[name_u]Darcy[/name_u] (dark)
[name_f]Delia[/name_f] (dark)
[name_f]Kiera[/name_f] (little dark one)
Haha, I have a story of my own with people who have dark names. Here’s my list:
[name_f]Sable[/name_f]
[name_u]Onyx[/name_u]
[name_f]Thana[/name_f] (means death)
[name_f]Lilith[/name_f]
[name_f]Crimson[/name_f] (as in blood)
[name_f]Dahlia[/name_f] (the [name_m]Black[/name_m] [name_f]Dahlia[/name_f])
[name_f]Adrienne[/name_f] (“dark one”)
[name_f]Leila[/name_f]/[name_f]Layla[/name_f]/[name_f]Lila[/name_f] (“night”)
[name_f]Ophelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Mara[/name_f] (“bitter”)
[name_f]Maura[/name_f] (“dark”)
[name_f]Ciara[/name_f] (“black”)
[name_f]Persephone[/name_f]
[name_f]Saskia[/name_f] (“knife”)
[name_f]Melanie[/name_f] (“black, dark”)
[name_u]Aeron[/name_u] (“slaughter, carnage”)
[name_u]Seth[/name_u] (form of [name_m]Set[/name_m], god of war)
[name_m]Manu[/name_m] (“bird of the night”)
[name_m]Lucifer[/name_m] (I call him [name_u]Luca[/name_u] in my story)
[name_u]Douglas[/name_u] (“black water”)
[name_u]Corbin[/name_u] (“crow”)
[name_u]Blake[/name_u] (“dark”)
[name_m]Ciaran[/name_m]/[name_u]Kieran[/name_u] (“little dark one”)
[name_m]Donovan[/name_m] (“dark”)
[name_u]Sullivan[/name_u] (“black-eyed one”)
[name_m]Duncan[/name_m] (“dark warrior”)
[name_m]Hadrian[/name_m] (“dark-haired”)
[name_m]Nigel[/name_m] (“dark, black-haired”)
[name_m]Osiris[/name_m] (god of the dead)
I think [name_f]Mallory[/name_f] is a good idea because you also get the nickname [name_u]Mal[/name_u] which is the [name_m]French[/name_m] word for “bad”. With [name_f]Mallory[/name_f], I think [name_u]Corbin[/name_u], [name_m]Donovan[/name_m], [name_u]Kieran[/name_u], and [name_u]Seth[/name_u] would be great sibling names. Good luck!
