I’ve found that villains often have some of the best names in books, so I thought that it would be fun to create a post where everyone shares their villains’ names. I’m not sure if anyone will be interested in this, but I figure that it can’t hurt to try it!
I’ll go first:
[name_f]My[/name_f] villains are a couple in their mid-twenties named [name_u]Bradley[/name_u] [name_m]Richardson[/name_m] and [name_f]Emmy[/name_f] Sinclair-Richardson.
I know, my names aren’t that cool, but I’m looking forward to hearing yours!
I wonder if it’s because writers are less concerned with villains being relatable and thus feel more comfortable giving them fun and uncommon names? Idk, I feel like my protagonists have equally as fun names as my villains/antagonists.
TSS: [name_f]Sarolta[/name_f], Szebasztián “Szeb”, [name_m]Benno[/name_m], [name_m]Hamish[/name_m], [name_m]Yannick[/name_m], [name_m]Matias[/name_m], [name_m]Timur[/name_m], [name_m]Emil[/name_m]
CM: [name_m]Viator[/name_m] (main villain), and then since it’s told from the perspectives of four people who spend time on opposite sides of a war, all of the main characters could be seen as antagonists to one another at some point
[name_f]Desiree[/name_f], [name_f]Verena[/name_f] and [name_f]Kerensa[/name_f] for my main project (all work separately), then I’ve got the creatively-named Order of the Eight Souls and [name_f]Elvira[/name_f] for another. The members of the Order aren’t all named officially yet because I need to find some fitting names for them considering many of the characters have very obvious names when you know what’s going to happen in the story.
Currently [name_m]Louis[/name_m] and [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] [name_f]Monet[/name_f], but they had to have reasonable names because they’re the king and queen
Aevia is the Queen of Talamaira (the Ocean world) and she wants to flood the world to A, punish the Zylraie (Land) people for their ancestors mistakes and B, rule the entire world
My protagonist is Iisha Szeyia, who is a girl from Zylraie with Talamaira powers
Trivia: Iisha’s boyfriend (well, kinda), Tellav, is descended from the Zylra woman who decided to banish the Talamairan people to the bottom of the ocean, which is another reason she wants to destroy her
Melantha’s full name is Melantha Edana Amberflaw, she is one of only three demidragons in the world, and I’m not entirely sure what she wants long-term but she definitely wants to kill her sister, Taika
My protagonists are Ash and Briar Wood, who don’t really have any special agenda but were sort of thrust into the action by Taika on account of Briar being an insanely powerful demicorn, and the Sparklegirl and Shadowguy prophecy (it’s complicated…)
Trivia: Melantha’s full name means “dark flower fire” and Taika’s means “magic light”, you know, to make it clearer that she’s evil xD Also, Melantha and Taika are twins, but Melantha is now significantly older because Taika time travels and managed to stick her sister in a time warp for 14 years of Melantha’s life.
I have a ton of other stories but they don’t really have definite villains b/c I abandoned them when they were like three pages long or something
I don’t have villans per say, but the main antagonists of one of my stories are [name_f]Victoria[/name_f] [name_m]Ross[/name_m] and [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] Higgins
I’ve got a writing contest entry where the villain is named [name_m]Rhydian[/name_m], a king who gets a ton of demons named neivraith to attack the other eleven kingdoms. However, all the names are kinda odd when I think about the people I know – there’s Asralyn, [name_f]Leocadia[/name_f], [name_f]Sereia[/name_f], [name_f]Iskra[/name_f], [name_m]Kaius[/name_m], Meliora… you get the point. And there’s also a [name_f]Tesni[/name_f].
One of the most evil villains that comes to mind from my stories is a woman named Edenelle! Made that one up when I was probably ten or eleven years old, and loved it!
I’ve just added another villain to my story… she’s only four years old. She’s the daughter of my previously mentioned villains, [name_u]Bradley[/name_u] [name_m]Richardson[/name_m] and [name_f]Emmy[/name_f] Sinclair-Richardson. The little villain is named [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_m]Richardson[/name_m], but she goes by [name_u]Rori[/name_u]. I’m actually quite proud of that name!
