What are your main characters called, in any novel or other story you are writing?

I currently have the following:

[name_u]Kai[/name_u] Elletson (boy)
[name_f]Ariadne[/name_f] [name_m]Zaccaria[/name_m]
[name_u]Zephyr[/name_u] Varriale
[name_f]Niamh[/name_f] Kennemore
[name_f]Leonie[/name_f] Falcaster

For characters who don’t yet have surnames:

[name_f]Juliette[/name_f]
[name_m]Calixte[/name_m]

There’s also a minor character named [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] [name_u]Carter[/name_u], but she appears for one chapter and then is only ever mentioned in passing. And yes, there’s going to be more characters (it’s set in a school, after all), but I’ve not named very many of them yet. The first four on that list are the main group.

I have a few stories and majority of them have four or five main characters, but I’ll just do one or two from each

1: Victoria “Tori” Ross and Jack Will

2: Clara Catherine “C.C.” and Hugo Cambridge (C.C. and Hugo are siblings)

3: Annika “Anni” Gloom and Wrenne Liadon, both girls

For the names in my book, I took a lot of shortish European names and combined two together to make a new name, but I’ll list what the names are closest to in [name_f]English[/name_f]. (Basically something like would be Heloiselien would be Eloise-Lynn or [name_f]Helen[/name_f] or something, even though that’s not actually what the name is. I just kind of want to keep my made up names private, for now :slight_smile:)

Anyway, I have:

The Main [name_u]Four[/name_u]:
[name_u]Skylar[/name_u] Leila-Anne “Leila”
Nim-Bella [name_f]Claire[/name_f] & [name_f]Acacia[/name_f] [name_f]Liesel[/name_f] (Twins, the matching style of their names got completely lost in this translation)
& [name_f]Fenna[/name_f] Sagely

And secondary characters:
[name_u]Jasper[/name_u] (middle name undetermined)
[name_m]Edgar[/name_m] [name_m]Bear[/name_m]
[name_f]Hilda[/name_f] Eva-Livi
[name_m]Soren[/name_m] (middle name undetermined)
[name_m]Erik[/name_m] (middle name undetermined)
Levity [name_f]Aisling[/name_f] “Levvi”
[name_m]Aksel[/name_m] (middle names undetermined)
& Ida-Lynn [name_f]Hana[/name_f]

The style seems all over the place, but it actually makes sense in the story, I promise!

I have to write a short story for a portfolio submission of essays, poems, scripts, and short stories for my final project for university entrance. For my short story, I have chosen to name my main character…

Nikkuliit! It’s a beautiful Greenlandic name. I love choosing names for my characters that I don’t get to use elsewhere. In a script I completed just today, my characters names are [name_m]Anthony[/name_m], [name_u]Lincoln[/name_u], Giang, and [name_f]Esther[/name_f]. No one has middle names, but I might give them some just in my head…
