My story is set in a fantasy world, and I’m struggling with what to name my MC. She is a strong character, and I want a name that reflects her personality… preferably one that starts with R 
So far I have come up with Raelene, Raelle, and possibly [name_f]Reyna[/name_f]. Any other ideas would be most welcome!
Wonderful! I like all of the “R” names you have suggested.
Hopefully, I can help with my suggestions, but it would be useful to also know the following …
Names that start with “R” …
Ravindra
Redver
[name_f]Revel[/name_f]
[name_f]Reverie[/name_f]
Rheda
[name_f]Rhiain[/name_f]
Rhydian
Richenza
[name_u]Robin[/name_u]
[name_f]Roisin[/name_f]

Other Suggested Names …
Note: Some names are traditionally male, but I believe they could be used as is or tweaked to fit a female character. That’s one advantage of fantasy; you get to use all the cool names however you want! These could also be names that fill out your world as first names, last names, or place names.

Goo luck writing! I’m more than happy to help with more suggestions.
I love [name_f]Reyna[/name_f]! Possibly [name_f]Rayne[/name_f]/[name_f]Reyne[/name_f]? I am also really liking [name_f]Revel[/name_f] as an option.
The setting is similar to something like [name_m]Lord[/name_m] of the Rings. The girl is the main character. She is a skilled swordswoman and is initially on the “bad” side in the story.
I can’t find a picture, but she is tall with long red hair and blue eyes.
Good to know!

I still like the original names you gravitated towards. [name_f]Do[/name_f] you have any new thoughts or ideas regarding names? Have you named any of your main character’s friends or enemies or any other characters in her world? Are there any names you are set on or certain of?
I hope this helps! Good luck writing!
I’ve always thought [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] sounded like a very strong name for a girl. I also like your idea of [name_f]Reyna[/name_f].
