Hey, actually I do need a name lol! It’s a last name so if that counts that would be great haha! The first name is Ethan, he is the main bad guys ‘sidekick’ in my book. I originally had Gruber for his last name. But that was when I was younger and looking back I’m like, what the heck lol! He can communicate with my main bad guy telepathically. He lives in Aclabar’s (my main bad guy lol) mansion/house thing. He isn’t as evil as Aclabar, but he is his main general. It’s like medieval times.  And he’s about 30.

Jominkreesa! For the weirdos who know what it means! 😉 I love you guys!

I will take a peek and let you know if I come up with anything. And I can’t see your post unless I look at my email. So yeah, I’ll do my best to come up with something.

Sorry, I guess I forgot to really describe him . . .

So my story is a fantasy. It sort of has a medieval mixed with an early to late 1800s setting (If that makes sense??). I’m actually not really sure how to describe it because it’s kind of complex. But really any medieval, English-sounding name would work for him.

He’s pretty tall and muscular (since he’s a sailor), and he has gray-blue eyes and brown hair. He’s about middle-aged (late 20s, early 30s). He had a wife many years ago, but she died from a fever while expecting their child. At the time my story happens, he hasn’t remarried yet.

Does that help?

Courage, dear heart.

@kristianne-hassman

Thanks, yes that does help. I’ll send you some names in a bit. Also do you want his name to start with any particular letters?

@kristianne-hassman

I just found a bunch of first names that had a meaning to do with the sea and then I realized you wanted his last name to have that meaning. Do you still want the last name to have something to do with the sea? I can change it, just let me know.

@katja-r

It really doesn’t matter to me what it starts with, as long as it’s not a weird letter like “X” or “Z” 😉

I would like his last name to mean something to do with the sea, because he comes from a long line of sea captains and it’s his family’s occupation.

Courage, dear heart.

@kristianne-hassman

Ok thanks! Will do! I will send those names either tonight or tomorrow. Sorry for the delay.

@beth20

I will try to get your name soon as well.

Sorry this is taking me so long. Today was a bit busy. (It’s a Monday :D)

Here are a few first names:

Jolyon or Julian
Kai
Marin
Alon
Adrian
Dylan

I was trying to find shorter first names. Let me know if you don’t like any of these and I’ll find some new ones.

Last Names: I just copied the meanings people said, so if they sound a little weird, it’s not from me. 😀

Alvarado: I couldn’t really find a meaning for this last names but thought it sounded pretty cool.
Darya: If you want a water inspired name, but are looking for something more original than Aqua or Tallulah, Darya should be your pick. Darya is an Iranian name, meaning ‘sea’.
Hali: the Greek term for ‘sea’, would make an excellent alternative to the somewhat popular Halle. The pronunciation is similar, though.
Marella: Stylish and sophisticated Marella is the Japanese version of Muriel and means ‘of the bright sea’.
Moselle: The name Moselle, meaning ‘from the water’, in the Hebrew language.
Rialta: is an Italian name, meaning ‘deep brook’, has a pleasant and antique feel to it.
Coburn: This is a traditional Welsh name, meaning ‘rocky water’ or ‘stony river’.
Destan: The French name Destan, meaning ‘by the still waters’, is traditionally used as a surname, but is delicate enough to be used as a first name too.
Jordon: meaning ‘flowing down’, was initially given to children baptized in holy water from the Jordan river. But everyone is free to use it now.

If you don’t like any of these just tell me and I’ll try to find some you like better.

@beth20

Here are some names. Let me know if you don’t like them and I will try better next time.

These names I couldn’t find their meanings. They are also kinda more fantasy than medieval:
Koberic
Veldor
Dion
Gathar
Kiall
Derald
Iphan

A little more medieval:
Brewstere: Warrior; man
Cockse: Bold
Bronsone: Guard of his wealth

A few more without a definite meaning:
Hayden
Froste
Harte
Langley
Baxtere
Aylmere

Hope these are a help!

Thanks! I really like, Koberic, Veldor, Kiall, Bronsone, Aylmere, Froste and Hayden! It’s good to see different names! Which one do you like the best out of those?

[Kristianne]

@katja-r

I like the name Adrian as a first name.

And I like the last names Coburn and Jordon.

Thanks so much for taking the time to do this! This will help me with brainstorming some possibilities 😀

Courage, dear heart.

Great topic!

I don’t have many (if any) names I made up myself; mostly just ones I modified some. But I do frequently have unnamed characters!

One in particular right now is one of the antagonists in my current WIP. (It’s set roughly around the 1600s, I think. I don’t use the same timeline in the book.) I really don’t have him fleshed out much at all… but what I know about him so far is he’s the commander of most, if not all, of the groups of bounty-hunters (though they aren’t called that in the book) in the country. He’s also (secretly) deep in the child slave market, and oversees groups of kidnappers. He’s very rich, and rather flamboyantly so. He’s the kind of guy who would fire his servant for bringing him tea that’s a few degrees too hot or cold. He pretends to care deeply about the people he has command of, but really all he cares about is money and power. Not power like kingly power… but he wants to keep his position as the guy who tells the bounty-hunters to go arrest/kill so-and-so. Cause then he can basically just be the one who controls the more minor leaders of different cities. (Not gonna go into much more detail than that lol. [Read as: I have nothing else thought of yet.])

So anyways, he needs a villainous/big-shot/regal-ish name. Something to match his flamboyant, rich mannerisms.

Let me know if you don’t like them and I will get you some new ones.
