Going back and forth between names for a side character, a former princess of an overthrown empire. She’s serious but snarky, ruthless from time to time, but somewhat empathetic. At least, more than most of the other members of my villainous five man band. It’s an Ancient Greek inspired world.

Move the poll down to its own line and it should work! :slight_smile:

(Nephela is my vote, btw)

Oh no problem, thank you so much!!

I have a character named Acacia (uh-kay-see-uh) and her nickname has been Cacia (pronounced the same just without the A) but I’ve been considering changing it to Cassia (Cass-ee-uh). She’s a carpenter, so I like Cassia because it is a tree, but Cacia is closer to her real name and means “Thorny” and she is definitely prickly!
What’s your vote?
(Also, this is my first poll, so I hope I did it right!)

  • Cassia

I’ve only heard [name_f]Acacia[/name_f] pronounced uh-kay-shuh so I would pronounce that and [name_f]Cacia[/name_f] in that way, if that would bother you. I really like [name_f]Cassia[/name_f] too though, and I would expect most people to get that pronunciation right.

Is it a problem if three characters in my story have a name starting with the same letter? One of them is the main character and the other two are side characters.

  • Yes - change at least one
  • Yes - change both and only leave the MC’s name.
  • Maybe , depends on how different the names are from eachother
  • Maybe , depends on how often the side characters appear in the story
  • No. Stop overthinking, Moon. Names are not that important for the reader.

What should be her name?

She is a twenty-eight-year-old woman who lives in Brooklyn, has a mild accent, and she works as a bartender/occasional performer (musician/singer) at an old-fashioned, high class bar. She likes vintage-y music and plays the guitar, really likes bright colors/pastel colors, but her favorite colors are crimson and black, which she uses as the color palette of her outfits very frequently, and she always uses dark red matte lipstick. She also loves pop-up books, fireworks and fire and hates the dark. Her favorite Disney movie is the animated Alice in Wonderland and her favorite book series is Harry Potter.

She’s very smiley, sarcastic, witty, extremely scary if she wants to be and, sometimes, just plain scary even if she doesn’t intend it, confident, and loves ridiculousness and silliness, but only if it doesn’t interfere with what she needs to do or bother her in any way. She’s also a realist that tends to be more pessimistic than optimistic, is very stubborn, rather easily stressed if she’s in a bad mood already, and tends to lock herself away when something happens to her rather than talk about it with close friends or family.

  • Marie Loretta Quinn
  • Rosaleen ‘Rosie’ Marie Quinn

(Note: I want her name to have a vintage feel to it, so the names are a bit old-fashioned :slight_smile:)

I was scrolling down here really just looking at people’s conversations, reading the polls, and I was not expecting this nostalgia.
