Naming my Antagonist (Again)

Writers' Corner
1

To start, I am very sorry to those who helped me last time. Your suggestions were great, but none of them seemed quite right.

Genre of [name_u]Story[/name_u]: [name_f]Fantasy[/name_f]

Time Period/Location: Connecticut, USA, 2019

Brief Plot: A girl discovers that she is a very powerful werewolf and goes on to discover her heritage etc. etc. The main antagonist in the story is the first werewolf, and the one I need help naming.

Character Description: Male. Tough, harsh, violent, dark, loyal, charming when people first meet him. Was born in 16th century [name_f]England[/name_f]. [name_m]Light[/name_m] hair.

Who named the character: Parents, didn’t know he was a wolf yet.

Immediate Family (if relevant): Younger brother (good), [name_m]Isaiah[/name_m] [name_m]Jackson[/name_m]

Already Considered (if relevant): [name_m]Graham[/name_m], [name_u]Elias[/name_u], [name_m]Killian[/name_m], [name_m]Samuel[/name_m], [name_m]Cole[/name_m]

[name_m]Don[/name_m]’t Suggest These Names: [name_m]Thomas[/name_m], [name_m]Benjiman[/name_m], [name_m]Klaus[/name_m]

Anything else?: Preferably the name would have a nickname that would be more menacing (instill fear) than the full name, OR the first name would work with a middle name that is more menacing (of your suggestion).

[name_m]Hi[/name_m], I’m back again :slight_smile:
I had a lot of fun looking into names for you so I couldn’t resist. Sorry if I repeat anything from last time.
I read that people in [name_f]England[/name_f] usually did not have middle names and most men were named either [name_m]John[/name_m], [name_m]William[/name_m], [name_m]Thomas[/name_m], [name_m]Richard[/name_m] or [name_m]Robert[/name_m] (which is a bit dull for the bad guy). It might be good to know though.
Some suggestions:

[name_m]Piers[/name_m]/pierce (might be a nickname for [name_m]Peter[/name_m])
[name_m]Solomon[/name_m]
[name_m]Giles[/name_m]
[name_m]Ambrose[/name_m]
[name_m]Vincent[/name_m] - [name_m]Vince[/name_m]
[name_m]Christopher[/name_m]/[name_m]Christoph[/name_m]/[name_m]Kristof[/name_m]
[name_m]Anselm[/name_m]
[name_m]Bernard[/name_m]
[name_m]Clement[/name_m]
[name_m]Emmanuel[/name_m]
[name_m]Melchior[/name_m]
[name_m]Tristram[/name_m]
[name_m]Bennet[/name_m]/[name_m]Benedict[/name_m]
[name_m]Fulke[/name_m] - Fawkes/Folk

The menacing nicknames are very difficult. Maybe you could start with nicknames you find menacing and then work back to full names:
[name_m]Colt[/name_m] - [name_m]Christopher[/name_m]/[name_m]Charles[/name_m]/[name_m]Colin[/name_m]/[name_m]Nicholas[/name_m]
Fester - …
[name_m]Locke[/name_m] - [name_u]Lawrence[/name_u]/[name_m]Lucas[/name_m]
[name_u]Vale[/name_u] - [name_m]Humphrey[/name_m] (might be a stretch)
Kahn - [name_m]Christopher[/name_m]/[name_m]Killian[/name_m]
[name_m]Kane[/name_m] - [name_m]Christopher[/name_m]/[name_m]Killian[/name_m]
[name_m]Roth[/name_m] - Rotham/[name_m]Roger[/name_m]
[name_m]Ram[/name_m] - [name_m]Roland[/name_m]
Sythe - [name_m]Sylvester[/name_m]/[name_m]Sylvan[/name_m] (not sure if this name is old enough)
Surge - [name_m]Samuel[/name_m]
Bast - [name_m]Barnabas[/name_m]/[name_m]Bastian[/name_m]
Brass - [name_m]Barnabas[/name_m]
[name_m]Piers[/name_m] - [name_m]Peter[/name_m]/[name_m]Phineas[/name_m]
[name_m]Ward[/name_m] - [name_m]Edward[/name_m]

[name_m]Just[/name_m] some ideas. [name_f]Hope[/name_f] it helps
