If you were to rename Tinker Bell with a more useable human name, what would her name be? I’d love to know what an adorable blonde fairy would be named!
Most of her friends seem to have perfectly useable names such as Rosetta, Fawn, Vidia, Iridessa, Peri, and Zarina, to name a few. I’m looking for a whimsical match for this eccentric friend group!
I’d say just [name_u]Bell[/name_u] / [name_f]Belle[/name_f] probably! Perhaps something about fixing or working or being a hard worker though… since all of the fairies’ names have to do with their special skills… but I’m not sure of any names that mean that, off the top of my head.
Upon a quick google search, I’ve rounded up these ideas:
[name_f]Delancey[/name_f] (meaning: unique/creative)
[name_u]Juniper[/name_u] (meaning: evergreen)
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f] (meaning: hardworking)
[name_f]Althea[/name_f] (meaning: accompanied by wholesomeness & creativity)
[name_f]Idabelle[/name_f] (meaning: industrious)
[name_f]Ida[/name_f] (meaning: industrious)
[name_f]Mae[/name_f] (meaning: Mother, creator)
Otta (meaning: creative individual)
Taking inspiration from [name_u]Bell[/name_u], my first thought was Isabelle/Isabella however that seems to be a bit more common in comparison to the other names listed. So I then thought maybe Isabellina.
Maybe a -bell name? Like [name_f]Annabel[/name_f], [name_f]Arabella[/name_f], [name_f]Mirabel[/name_f] or [name_f]Claribel[/name_f].
More inspired by the [name_m]Tinker[/name_m] sounds, maybe [name_f]Tabitha[/name_f], [name_f]Talitha[/name_f], [name_f]Tatiana[/name_f], [name_f]Katinka[/name_f], Clemetine/a?
I love Tinkerbell’s Tin- beginning, I think it’s more fresh and interesting than the -bell ending, so I’d go with the Swedish name Tindra which means “twinkle or sparkle”
Alinta is the other name that comes to mind, Aboriginal meaning “fire, flame” and has a sound that is reminiscent of tinkering
All of their names have to do with their skill, so instead of [name_m]Tinker[/name_m] it would have to be something that means hardworking. I know my name [name_f]Emily[/name_f] means industrious, but that’s not unique enough for a fairy, and I’d want to keep the [name_u]Bell[/name_u] part. So maybe some kind of mashup of [name_f]Emily[/name_f] and [name_u]Bell[/name_u] like Emmabella. (Also Peri’s name is actually Periwinkle. Slightly less useable, but still not completely unusable in my opinion.)
