Hallie (inkyhallie) Has it ever happened to you: you can't find the perfect name for your character? You thought and thought, but didn't get it, or was left to choose among more than one names. Well, it was happened to me.

If you want help with names of characters, post here, and we'll help you

I do have a website suggestion for names. I go on it all the time when looking for character names.


message 4: by [deleted user] (new)

I was hoping for some choice of female names that meant/referred to flowers or nature. :)

message 9: by Hallie (new)

Hallie (inkyhallie) I need help choosing a name. I need a girl's name which fits the following description:
A blonde girl who is pretty. Her personality is not the best. She is intelligent, but is lacks sense if humour. She doesn't bother about others and is egoistic. She loves music from the bottom of her heart. She is generally in a bad mood, has choleric attributes, and is both strict on others as well as herself. She is a loner and in spite of the friendly hands reached out, she chooses to ignore all of them

message 13: by Hallie (new)

Hallie (inkyhallie) I'll eventually think of a good name, but I just want a couple of suggestions for a ghost who has been dead for 4 years. He is friendly but clumsy. His appearance is intimidating, but he is actually very friendly and nice, perhaps even stentorian.


message 14: by [deleted user] (new)

When was the time period of when he died?


message 15: by Hallie (new)

Hallie (inkyhallie) 2012.

He is normally quiet, caring, very studious, and conservative. He wants to work as a doctor giving medical Treatment to those who don't have Access to it. Any ideas?

TessaMarie Beard | 0 comments I like Daniel too, but I have another character named Daniel.


message 28: by [deleted user] (new)

message 29: by [deleted user] (new)

hey which is best:

Giselle vs Estelle (she'd be called Stella)


message 30: by TessaMarie (last edited Jan 13, 2016 09:07AM) (new)

TessaMarie Beard | 0 comments I like Giselle better


message 31: by [deleted user] (new)

Same, but both sounds so nice


message 32: by [deleted user] (new)

Well, she has pale blonde hair, blue eyes, pale skin; she looks an absolute royal but she carries herself otherwise. She's a starwatcher, is obsessed with astronomy, and is always unnoticed but has too much to say. She's especially bold and confident of herself, even a bit arrogant :3


message 33: by Hallie (new)

Hallie (inkyhallie) Well, I would go for Estelle.

http://fantasynamegenerators.com/

This website has been like a godsend for me. Every name that I use in my stories (except for one I made up but turns out isn't actually made up since it was used in a movie a few years later) comes from this website. It has such a large amount of names that you can use and is super easy to navigate to find names of a certain type really easily. I recommend it to anyone who is stuck on names cause I'm positive you'll find what you need there ^-^ the person who runs the website is also super nice I've talked to her a few times.

Kikki. I'd rather shit in my hands and clap vigorously wrote: "http://fantasynamegenerators.com/

I use that name website ALL THE TIME.


message 36: by Hallie (new)

Hallie (inkyhallie) Not my naming sense.


message 37: by Kikki (new)

Kikki (kikki-not-kiki) | 160 comments Mod
naming sense?


message 38: by Hallie (new)

Hallie (inkyhallie) Sorry I was half asleep. I meant those names aren't the ones I would choose.


message 39: by Kikki (new)

Kikki (kikki-not-kiki) | 160 comments Mod
From the website? Cause it covers more than fantasy names, it covers modern american names and japanese and chinese and russian and so on, not just names for mermaids and fairies or anything.


message 40: by Hallie (new)

Hallie (inkyhallie) Yes, from the website. I write horror and suspense, and generally they are set in England.


message 41: by Kikki (new)

Kikki (kikki-not-kiki) | 160 comments Mod
There is a Victorian name generator

There is also an English Name generator

the vampire and werewolf name generators can give names that would fit into horror and suspense, its basically 'dark' sounding human names.


message 42: by Hallie (new)

Hallie (inkyhallie) I didn't find it very appeasing, though.


message 43: by [deleted user] (new)

Name generators always crack me up! XD


message 44: by Kikki (new)

Kikki (kikki-not-kiki) | 160 comments Mod
I have an extension on my computer that I like to use that actually comes in handy with name gens, especially that website since only the fantasy names are names with no definition (and even then some of the fantasy names do have a definition) If I double click something to highlight it, it searches the internet and gives me the top 3 definitions. So when using a name gen I can double click and find the meaning behind names, which comes in handy if I'm looking for something in particular


message 45: by [deleted user] (new)

That's so cool. I once got Peter and Wendy in a row in a fantasy name generator >.<


message 46: by Kikki (new)

Kikki (kikki-not-kiki) | 160 comments Mod
yeah maybe that's why I find so much use from them? cause I can find a variety of interesting/unique names all at once and also be able to search any potential meaning for them at the same time


message 47: by [deleted user] (new)

ah, well, i think i just love pretty names, without/with meanings XD


message 48: by Kikki (new)

Kikki (kikki-not-kiki) | 160 comments Mod
XD haha I like pretty names too, and unique ones. I rarely actually look for a definition behind it but its a nice quirk


message 49: by [deleted user] (new)

Is kikki your real name? :) I'm just curious, I've never heard it before!


message 50: by Kikki (new)

Kikki (kikki-not-kiki) | 160 comments Mod
Nope, its just my GR pen name ^-^ I found it on the name generator when I was deciding and liked it so I run with it.

the nickname that came from it is the same as one of my actual nicknames too which is cool
