Basically what the title says. What do you guys think [name_m]Count[/name_m] Dracula would name his daughter if he had one?

I’m rereading [name_m]Bram[/name_m] Stoker’s Dracula, a classic 1800s novel about Dracula the vampire and I was thinking to write my own fanfiction based on it… so what would you all think Dracula would name a daughter?

I think a Romanian name would work best since the name Dracula itself is Romanian (it means son of ‘Dracul’). Maybe some of these?

(not all of these are exclusively Romanian but are used in the Romanian language)

[name_f]Amalia[/name_f]
Anișoara
Atena
Áurica
[name_u]Carmen[/name_u] (is the Romanian version of [name_f]Carmilla[/name_f], another vampire from the story of the same name)
[name_f]Catrinel[/name_f]
Cazimira
Cezara
Chira
Constanța
[name_f]Constantina[/name_f]
Crina
[name_f]Demetra[/name_f]

so I’m glad you asked this question, I love the story of Dracula, originally the name Dracula meant “son of dragon” but because languages changes over time, Dracula now means “devil” so maybe something like Dragna, or Abbadon, Abbadon is technically a male name but in supernatural Abbadon was portrayed as a female so I think it can work for both

Having read Dracula, I don’t think he’d have a daughter! Vlad the Impaler had a daughter called Zaleska. Idk… Romanian names with meanings or associations Dracula (or a vampire, or someone slightly gothic) might like:

Daciana - from the Roman name for what is now Romania and Moldova

Ileana - a princess kidnapped by monsters in Romanian folklore

Lăcrămioara - lily of the valley, derived from lacrămă, meaning “tear”

Minodora - gift of the moon!

Renata - reborn

Sabina - connected to the rape of the Sabine women

[name_f]Lavinia[/name_f] is my first thought. It has very vampire princess vibes to me.

Perhaps…

[name_f]Elisabeta[/name_f]
[name_f]Irina[/name_f]
Madalina
[name_f]Raluca[/name_f]
Luminita
Casimira
[name_f]Renata[/name_f]
[name_f]Melania[/name_f]
[name_f]Silvia[/name_f]
[name_f]Ksenia[/name_f]

or, depending on when you’re setting it, he might choose an English-style name, once he’s set his sights on [name_u]England[/name_u], and wants to fit in there:

[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]
[name_f]Margaret[/name_f]
[name_f]Victoria[/name_f]
[name_f]Harriet[/name_f]
[name_f]Catherine[/name_f]
[name_f]Enid[/name_f]
