Unique/Unusual names for a Story

Writers' Corner

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] everyone, this is my first post so here goes:

I am looking for lots of name ideas for a fantasy story I am writing. It is a mythical world of magic and creatures but I need some character name ideas for both boys and girls. I have a few that I was thinking of, to hopefully give you an idea of the feel of what I’m going for. Names I am considering are: [name_f]Astrid[/name_f], [name_f]Eira[/name_f], [name_m]Ronan[/name_m] and [name_u]Julian[/name_u].

If you can help me that would ever so much appreciated :slight_smile: xx
