Need help finding names for your characters/places/species/races/or anything specific? come here

any good names for a headmaster of a magic school?

So far the headmaster in my book is called Abrius but I'm thinking of changing it

Thanks

Great one, Lizzy!

The main characters in my work in process are three siblings. Nyssa, Altair, and Ursa. Nyssa is the eldest at fifteen, Altair is the middle child and only son at fourteen, and Ursa is six years old.

Do these names fit together as a sibling 'pack?' The setting is fantasy, so I'm not worried about the names being too out there.

Yes, that's true. It's hard to find any good names related to the stars. Do you have any resources I could use?

There's also a link to another site with names that might help"

Thank you so much! I'll be sure to look these over. I think Nyssa, as much as I like the name, needs be changed. Most likely all their names will be changed to fit the story better.

Hey guys!

I know some good sites, which can help you find names for your characters.

I'm having trouble finding names for my main character for my new book

I'm trying to find some unique names for my characters

I'd be a hybrid.

3 of them are humans- 2 female, 1 Male, and 1 dad, 1 teacher which is a minor character, then there is 3 more characters, with Magical powers, and then there is the villains and stuff

Thanks

I instantly recognized Charmed. :-)

Hello! I'm having trouble coming up with names for my story. One of my characters is a male elf prince and two other main character boys in my fantasy story. If it helps, there is also magic in the world too. So kind of like Lord of the Rings except a bit more YAish. Thank you so much for whoever helps me. : )

Thank you soooo much Skyril! If anyone asks who helped me with the character names, I'll say that you helped me. Thank you again! : )

You're welcome! :D Glad I could help!

I love the names. It's just so hard to choose! : )

I need help again. I would like some names for a human kind of rebellious girl. She doesn't listen much to the rules either. Her twin brother is the same way.
Also for some adults too. Some are teachers in the same world so Lord or Lady so and so. Some are also parents too.
Thank you for whoever helps! : )

I am going to be writing a sort of Vampire Diaries fan pic with my friend, but we are using our own characters instead of the ones in the show. so far I was thinking of having a vamp called Wren (in honour of Wren [t(he)y] ) Marin and his sister called Raven Marin. I also wanted a Dacia and i wanted someone to have the last name Vreeholt, but it can't be Dacia, b/c a Dacia Vreeholt already exists. if u guys have any help or any other suggestions for other vamp or human or witch or where wolf names, let me know :)

I need a name for a made up Author, in my book.

My name David! Lol just kidding. Ummm Benjamin seems like an author name, or Elijah, or Samuel, or Jacob or Matthew.

Any name is actually an author name :D

When I grow up Im gonna be an author.

Good luck! You're never too early to start.

I wrote fanfiction's since middle school

I like strong names for the male heroes (Marcus, Aidan, Edmund) and I play around with the female names....usually I just name them randomly.

I used Abigail as the female name and Caleb for the male name in one of my books. I think those went together perfectly, especially for the intended purpose and plot twist.
