Naming your Characters

[Chunky_Squirrel]

Well, I most likely like to create my own made up names.
I'm best with WC names.
I named my deer once as Rimfrost.
And my fursona TinyTail.
One time I made up a name Zesel.
And I like it. :3

I either think them up, or look up names in different languages.

I find an assortment of letters that sound good, for example, Ssyveh. Names usually have an odd spelling, but are easy to pronounce. (Name generators often help)

Amara's name mean "joy" in an African language. 'Nuff said on that.
 
Oh, I also will pick names that just sound cool. A pitbull named trigger. A creature named Clock. An alien dubbed Remix. All that good stuff.

When it comes to naming my characters, the names I come up with are made up. Some of my character names are common names you would see around the game, but most of them are made up.

~Names based on character names I've heard but modified them

Example: My bobcat character Kojak got his named based on an anime character who had the name of Bojack. I just changed the "B" to a "K" and knocked off the "c".

So Bojack ---> Kojak

Example: My kreptis character has the name of Vixyne. I just took the name Vixye and modified it by putting "ne" at the end.

Vixy ---> Vixyne.

~Names based on pets or people I know.

Example: My fox character Kopper was named after a little dog I used to care for. His name was spelled "Kopper" instead of "Copper".

Example: My Warriorstuck character Anahi was inspired from someone I used to know. I thought it was a unique name.


My other characters; Amalthea, Marik, and Bakura are fanbased characters... so they were named after characters from books/TV/movies and so on.

Well, for Jake I remembered my old dog, and he was a small-ish one so I decided let's name him Jake...Then I went to creatin!  And that's how Jake was formed

Well it all depends really. First I'll chose my character and a personality with a backstory and everything else, I'll look at the picture and probably try and think up a name for some, sometimes I come up with them but I'm sure they're already names, ones I thought of were Suitana, Leilani, Kyber, Mishka, Kanti and Akecheta. But some names I'll get from pets I've had, my families had, friends, tv shows and sometimes I'll use the internet. Once I've gotten are ones such as Teegan, Micah, Rukk, Toby, Scrappy, Imara, Milo, Kita and many many more.

So really it all depends I'll either use my mind, internet or tv shows or pets me, my friends and family have had, sometimes I even get them off other people, but that's it really.

I always use names like the colors or personality of the char, etc. Darkness = Brutal and Dark   or   Honey=Sweet and fun-loving  So yeah , that's how i name my chars

[SL138197]

I'm actually thinking of making a second fursona that resembles me a bit more.  XD

[Roniver]

I make quick random names like this: Cy (R.I.P Cy, 2013-2014 ;.  Dedee, Dadum, Daboo, Kitt. and so on...

~latches onto this topic with teeth~

People always make fun of me for how I make my character's names. I do admit, it's a bit of trial and error, but I'll show you the main ways. :3

Number One:
An elvish name generator, as linked. I type in random names, and then use the elvish translations.

Number Two:
I bash my keyboard and then derive names from the resulting mess.

eg)

Bash: jduflbmx
Attempts at names:
- Jedulf
- Jedda
- Dufex
- Ulfor
- Bemex

Etc.

Number Three:
The good ol' name lookup. Googling 'cool names' or 'weird names' etc.

That's just a few of my ways to give a character a name - I personally like the keyboard bash the best. c:

I like the bashing idea, I'll have to try that sometime
