Cool idea! I choose my names based on a couple things. Is it a pun? Does it have any deep symbolic meaning that can be connected to the themes? Could it be a pun? XD

My favorite names I’ve chosen so far!

King Hakan

Meaning of name: King (Turkish)

Every time I remember his name I have a bit of a laugh because I literally named him moon moon XD

Nebiah, daughter of Malkiel.

Meaning of name: Prophetess. (Hebrew)

… Guess which character recieves visions halfway through the story? Yep, we have a second moon moon situation! XD

Her name was actually originally Keturah, which means something like “perfection” which was based off how my MC percieves her. Her story role is very much to be the perfect foil for my messy, flawed protagonist. Thankfully, she rather grew beyond that role.

My MC is named Liorah, which means “Light upon me” in Hebrew. This was kind of an accident initially but I leaned into it a lot for symbolism.

Many of my names don’t have any specific symbolism or just sound cool XD
