I need help naming a character.

Ichi TK · 02/02/07, 05:52 PM

I'm writing an original story and need some help naming one of my characters. So far I've only reffered to him in my story as things like 'the elegant man' and can't for the life of me think of a suitable name.
He features in the chapter which I've put on KHI (link in sig) and another chapter. I'll put the other up when I can, but for now could people have a read and give suggestions please?
Please don't be offended if I don't choose your suggestion. I'm very anal about this kind of thing and never write a name unless I'm sure it's their name.
Rep for the chosen suggestion and probably for the really close suggestions, too.

Also, nothing you've read on something else, please. Escpecially from a game or something.

Current Faves:
-Suther
-Alasin
-Maevista
-Saul

okay, 'elegant man.....Mmmmmmh, how about:

Zelenine (Zel-a-nin)
Suther
Kastrovic (sounding like catastrophic since the dude is like some god after all; and it sounds cool if you say it with a Russian accent)
Doujerwei (Do-jer-way)
Alasin (cool way of Allison)

So, I hope that helped you, nice story by the way too.

How about...

Oneiric. The word comes from the Greek, meaning dream. If you tweak it a little, you might be able to get a good name from it.

Hope that helps, Ichi. <3

Wow... good suggestuions already. I forgot tho post this part, too. The names I'm already using are:
Hayden
Elena
Tristram
Seig
Denji
So I kind of want to avoid anything similar to them.
I like Suther and Alasin from Silent Avera and I like your line of thought very much snowdog.

Ziel Quat is what i think you should name him

Ichi TK · 02/05/07, 08:40 PM

I don't know why, but I generally want to stay away from the letters Q, Z, X and G. I either think they're ever so slightly cliche or just don't fancy them.
Thanks for the suggestion, though.

^ No problemo. It's my way of naming characters, XD

Find out where a word describing the character derives from. Then tweak it a little. Voila, a good name! :3

Qat

25 sucks

Ichi TK · 02/06/07, 01:21 PM

I'm thinking of a perhaps divine sounding name. I have to find a certain feel about it. I still like Suther, Alasin and Oneiric. It'll probably take a while for me to finalise this, btw

MASTER-SEPHIROTH · 02/06/07, 05:29 PM

Hey how's do you like Arimaix.

Would that work for you.

**Blackest Night** · 02/06/07, 05:37 PM

I am here to randomly spout names.

Natalya (Woman's name)
Kanek
Dagon
LaRiesa (Possible last name? Spelled phonetically it is Lah-Ray-za)
Illyria (Woman's name)
Illyana (Woman's name)
Dorian

The list goes on if you so wish it.

Ichi TK · 02/06/07, 05:41 PM
