Favorite Name(s)...?

Stole it from Neil Gaiman (who stole it from Element Girl), but I've always liked Urania. She's one of the Greek muses. Girls' names are generally better, it's hard to do imaginative boys' names without making them sound poofy, and that's not always the effect you're after. So yeah, recently I've used:

Rio
Urania
Eurydice
Calliope
Colette
Niandra (this is a word but I don't know what it means)
Momos
Dido
Marissa

 

Jack- I love using the name Jack, mainly because of Kerouac. For girls I like Delilah, Jasmine, Mary, Alecia,
Dudes, besides Jack- Sam, Alec, Jeremiah, Dean,

 

selva
dudley
apphia
Kahil
Mercutio
Destiny
Hope
Skye
Faye
Leon
Thebe
Lucius
Theadore
opal

 

I was exploring an ultra deep trance... the kind that takes you 15 minutes to come out of to even be able to twitch a finger again... My focus ended up in the Sun, where I met a goddess made of liquid fire... Where ever I caressed her skin, she turned light blueish for a moment, and seemed to passionately enjoy my attentions...
I called her "Sofare", short for "solar flare"...

 

I really like when people give characters 'matching' names...

-Garden State ~ Hamsters were named "Peanut Butter" and "Jelly"
-Mark ~ His dogs are named "Zig" and "Zag"
(I can't think of any others right now; but there are a bunch...)

 

Names of people I know or have known:
Amy Dawn
Davin Box
Misty Laine
Summer Breeze
Eryn
Brett Bolan
Dale Roe

Names I've heard:
River Jude Phoenix
Joaquin (pronounced Waa-keen) Raphael Phoenix
and the rest of those Phoenix kids
Roman Alexander
Susan Sarandon
Charlie Benate (pronounced Ben-a-tay)

Names I've made up or used just cause:
Sarah
Misty Dawn
Sorsha Joan
Davin Rhodes
Danny
Jamilee
Meghan
Claude

I like Stan Lee's idea of naming characters. He can't remember names too well, so all of his characters had easy names, such as: Jean Grey, Peter Parker, Scott Summers, etc. I have a hard time naming my characters. I'll usually tack a label on them, such as chick, waiter, dork, etc., until their personality takes shape and their name reveals itself.

 

Thmye Amelia
Ocean Irie
Ophelia Lily

Ukiha Joseph
Elihu Brian
Zion Malichi

 

~Cougar - Loved 'Amy Dawn'...

 

Dhani, Woody, Fred or Dylan for a boy

Dylan or Scooby for a male dog

Rebecca, Katie, Mandy or Kirsty for a girl

Trixie or (im to drunk to think of a name) for a girl dog

 

I'd give to my future children names like:
Boys:
Haight
Berkely
Dylan
Floyd
Lennon

Girls:
Anna
Pandora
Janis

But I have a problem , they sound pretty awful with my french familly name (Tétreault)
So for french names:

Boys:
Matisse
Girls:
Charlotte
Marika

 

~SgtPepper - Late's hope you're not intoxicated when naming your kids if you ever procreate *smile* (tesing yah)

~CanadianBoy - I love the names Dylan and Janis...

 

I don't really put much emphasis on names...It's more about the personality of the character. After all, a name is just a vessel.

 

^^^ Yeah, i agree - But i still like to have fun with the names; i view them as a little bit of decoration for their designated character...

 

I have to hate or love names there's no inbetween.
A couple of my favorites are:

Denith
Gilford
Gwyneth
Genevieve (with the french pronunciation)

I have a friend named Breezy and had one named Cloud a while back.

 

^ Oohh... - I love Gwyneth...

I love these:
