[name_m]Hi[/name_m] all! Yesterday I was on a flight and had a random burst of inspiration for a story, but names have evaded me (maybe because I haven’t figured out any serious character building etc.)
Basically, the story will be told from two perspectives; one from a fighter, one from a princess. They are actually the same person, the princess perspective is actually told from her past (if that makes sense?) so that you can see what lead her to fight back.
I need a name that sounds pompous for the princess, but can be broken down to make a warrior type nickname for when she becomes a fighter. I don’t want it to be really obvious (for example: princess Alianne, fighter [name_f]Aly[/name_f], etc) so the names can be quite separate though I’d like the fighter name to be somewhat derived from her real name.
Younger [name_f]Sister[/name_f] will be Megara, there will also be an older sister and brother who are so far nameless.
Any ideas?
[name_f]Mazarine[/name_f] “[name_f]Zara[/name_f]” or “[name_u]Ari[/name_u]”
[name_f]Ceridwen[/name_f] “[name_m]Cayden[/name_m]” or “[name_u]Ren[/name_u]”
[name_f]Esmeralda[/name_f] “[name_f]Mira[/name_f]” or “[name_u]Desi[/name_u]”
[name_f]Corisande[/name_f] “Rissi” or “[name_u]Andy[/name_u]/[name_f]Andi[/name_f]”
[name_f]Parthenia[/name_f] “[name_m]Artie[/name_m]” or “[name_m]Pan[/name_m]”
[name_f]Heloise[/name_f] “Halo” or “[name_m]Louie[/name_m]”
[name_f]Venezia[/name_f] “[name_f]Nia[/name_f]” or “[name_u]Isa[/name_u]”
Ziporra “[name_f]Raz[/name_f]” or “[name_f]Cora[/name_f]”
[name_f]Theophaneia[/name_f] “[name_f]Effie[/name_f]” or “[name_f]Thana[/name_f]”
Names for brother/sister: [name_m]Peregrine[/name_m], [name_m]Leonidas[/name_m], [name_u]Leland[/name_u] / [name_f]Alexandrina[/name_f], [name_f]Nephele[/name_f], [name_f]Domitille[/name_f]
I hope this helps or inspires. Have a great day and happy writing! 
I actually think I’m going with Winnamine [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] for the princess and [name_f]Auria[/name_f] for the fighter, but I might just use your suggeations for other characters, thanks
