Show of Hands

Just realized you want ideas...Maeve = sassy, intelligent, Casey = unisex but I think sensitive either way, Betsey = fun and girlie but down to earth, Augusten = brooding and handsome, Sailor = female, head in the clouds, dreamer.

Oops. Punctuation mixup. I think it means loved. It's definitely pronounced like that with emphasis on the first syllable.

It makes me think of Luna Lovegood from Harry Potter. I would expect a Luna to be unique, not worried about what others think, and to have a belief in the impossible.

Luna is also a Hispanic last name

Sorry I accidentally posted it twice my Internet wasn't working right

I also knew a Keziah and an Anati in school - both girls. Not sure of the meanings.

I love that!

Very popular names.

Lol

I like Skye a lot, but I'd have used it as a girl's name. That might be one of my favorites so far.

Thank you :)

Skye, Indigo and Mia are pretty gender neutral, so anything works xD

Jezebel???? Really????

Do you know the meanings behind them? All very pretty. :)

I'm trying to find them... And yes, Jezebel, I love that name it's really beautiful.

Marley- meadow near the lake(originally male)
Delaney- Irish multiple defs
Jezebel- Hebrew for pure

So, I posted that before reading it was for book characters. For that, absolutely. For a child, I would think the historical negative connotations would make it questionable.

Sloane- Gaelic for warrior (male originally)
Hadley- heather meadow
Hayden- (male) hedged valley

Addison- son of Adam lol

I think Jezebel is cute for a persons name too. And in the bible Jezebel was just like any king in the bible. She did the same things they did but got a bad rap because she was a woman.

Marley, agreed, but the name has become so associated with prostitutes and adultery, if probably stay away. You're right in what you're saying, but it would be a lifetime of explaining the story. Know what I mean?

I also like-
McKenna- Gaelic and Scottish "ascend"
Dempsey- Irish "proud"
Naveen- Indian "new"

Prostitution and adultery? Sounds like a good character name.

My dog is Jezebel

Do you play assassins creed?

No.

Just curious. Cause that was so perfect

They are awesome names though. I can see them going together like yin and yang.

I like Cassiopeia and Perseus too. More constellation names. A girl's name meaning "clever", and a boy's name meaning "destroyer". I also like Kaos as a girl's name, meaning I assume, "chaos".

Leo is cool too!

For girls, colors might be interesting. Scarlet, Violet, etc. I also like some of the Eastern European names like Katya.

I found Mazarine is a cool female name, it means a deep blue.

Azure I like as well.

There's a book I read - it's either the Millionaire Next Door, or maybe Freakanomics - that looks at baby names as a predictor of future success and wealth. Worth checking out if you can find it!!!

Meaning? (Ahahaha, meaning, I'm asking meaning the meaning of a name. Sorry it's a brilliant moment for me)

Haha. I have no idea the etymology of the name. All I know is that it is biblical.

Damn rlands I'm naming my first born son Kai.

I'm also naming the main character that, with a second syllable.

I love that name so much. It's so perfect.

And what's the main character's name?

Kaizen. It just sounds soo perfect.

And then I googled it last night, and it means Kai "change" and Zen "good" in Japanese. Often taken as "change for the better" or "improvement". It's just so perfect.

Wait that is soooo awesome! Ah! Perf! I knew a guy named Faizen once...never Kaizen. How would you pronounce that? Like raisin with a k? Or like k-eye-zen?

Like K-eye-zen.

But the raisin with a K sounds cool too. But then it can't be shortened to "K-eye" as a short name. And "Kay" as a nickname is kind...effeminate.

Right. Then he get the nickname Kai, which, as we both know, is amazing. Sounds like a plan!

Stay away from Kaizen. It has a specific meaning in the business world which while very positive, would look very odd on a future resume!

Yeah, I found about the meaning of it in the business world. It's very fitting for a main char though

Ok....I was going off the idea that these were kid's names. Just read down below, and saw we're looking for book characters. There's, some pretty cool ones you could adapt here: echoes.devin.com/watchers/names.html

My brothers name is Aaron, and he's a douche.

Which means that is a beautiful name, and its spelled different so win!

Yeah, it freaks my mom out when she looks at the browsing history though

Lmao just tell her that's what it's for. Also you can just Google "names meaning..." if you have an idea what your character is like but don't have a name that matches yet. That's usually how it goes for me.

I am rolling in laughter.

:O I like

That's beautiful

I like that too.

That's definitely getting used.

Well, I have made my one contribution to society today. :)

That is an awesome description.

Having a baby? :-))

Heavens no :O

Writing a story, looking for a new character.

Tell us more about the story!

I don't know how to tell it yet. Right now there's just the main, and a little bit if background, a boyhood friend who is now enemy by the mains own turncoat ways and a gigantic war in the shadows that no one sees but harms many.
