Come here if you need any advice about creating characters for your stories, from their names to personality traits!

I need a name for a female character. She’s originally the love interest but some stuff happens (some stuff being her being kidnapped and her boyfriend and best friend not caring) so she goes psycho and becomes the main villain. Suggestions?

Bonus if it’s a sweet name with a wicked sounding nickname

What does she look like?

She’s going to start out blonde but then dye her hair black and with a red streak. Starts out with green eyes but they eventually turn a like super super dark purple that looks black

Maybe Celeste or Iris?

Oooo I like those

Valia?

Idk if that's a good enough name but I think it's pretty

I would do something that starts with a K or an L. Those names usually have that kind of vibe I'm getting from her

Thanks so much yall!!!

Hey y’all! So in my book the character I need a name for pretends to be the MC’s friend but at the end it is revealed she is actually working against her and ends up trying to kill my MC. I’m looking for a name that isn’t too unique that doesn’t stand out much to make them seem like a stereotypical side character. A name like Holly or Stacey.
Just something that sounds so innocent that they couldn’t be evil.

ooh that sounds so interesting! Maybe you could do a cutesy flower name - like daisy, poppy, lily? hope this helps 🫶🫶

Yessss It should be something innocent and cute! Maybe like lily or something that says “cute little sister” 😂

@Em I like Lilly

Omg y’all r right!
Thanks so much ✨

I feel like innocent names could be like
Daisy-Mae
Violet
Grace
Marie-Anne

That’s what I thought of!! Good luck on your book! <3

Ok so I have a character who’s the ML and he has white hair, blue eyes and his personality is basically at first very sassy, sarcastic at times, but protective of friends family and FL and is a cinnamon roll boy once you get to know him🥹❤️. I need a name for him which suits him and I can’t find anything 😭😭 pls help meeeeeee. Also the genre is fantasy romance but leaning more towards fantasy

ok these are just some ideas idk either sry 😭😭 but Leo, Liam, Levi, August, Seth, Leland
