Please, anyone, I need a name for a character in a stroy i'm writing.
Bio so far

Name: ????
Age:24
Height: 6'2"
Weight: no idea what average weight for a guy that height is
Eye color: sky blue
Hair color and style: raven black, short, um for lack of an example, kinda like Vash's when Vash's is wet in that one ep

Personality: very kind and sweet, a true gentlmen, a devote christian, he has a troubled past that he finds hard to talk about, compassionate, he will fight when pushed

Other: Well, hm, the book's kinda a sci-fi but that doesn't really matter, orphaned, physically strong, has eyes you can fall into, handsome *blushing smiley* (sorry ppl, i had to make him handsome)

That should just about do it. Any suggestions?

Do you want a common name or a made-up-type name?

PostPosted: **Sun Dec 28, 2003 8:10 pm**

Also what nationality? You know is he European or Asian? This would help a lot.

I suggest Fred.

Dorian is the first thing I think of, mostly because that description reminds me of Dorian Gray. I also see Eric working too.

While I can't think of a name off hand, I might be able to help with the weight. I am about that height myself, and at 170, am accounted a bit thin. I'd say 180-185 for someone who is lean and muscular, with upwards of 200 for a man that is powerfully built.

Eric is a good strong name because it means, "eternal ruler." Dorian is Greek and means, "of the sea."

I suggest:

Any variation of Nick or Nicholas, which means a "victor of the people." If he's going to be your hero

Seth, it means, "anointed."

Branduff or Brainard means, "a dark raven." You could go with a similar sounding Brant, Brent, or Brandon, which have slightly different meanings.

I'll try to find some more. I like Eric. I always think of the prince in the Disney version of The Little Mermaid.

Danyael or Zophael...or Pyriel...^_^

[Edit]: Well these names i got are from the movie called "Prophecy 3". Danyael is a good angel guy. Zophael is a spy God. Pyriel is an evil angel. ^_^ Bye now.

Oh my!!! So many wonderful names!!! I kinda like Dorian, not decided for sure yet tho. Um, Ink, made-up type name, and he's white/caucasion. (did i spell that right?)

PostPosted: **Mon Dec 29, 2003 12:34 pm**

Is he a good guy or a bad guy? There's also Tristan (full of sorrows, noisy, or knight depending), Aiden (fire) and Griffin. I like Griffin because it's Welsh and it means, "strong in faith." There's some more of my two cents. ^^ How much am I up to?

PostPosted: **Mon Dec 29, 2003 1:50 pm**

Aiden, that's nice. But so is Tristan, Ack!! lol He's a good-guy. I wish i could draw!!! I love picking names for their meanings. I'm in the process of writing the part were i need his name. I got to decide. Let me ponder for a bit. Anybody got anything else besides these other wonderful names?

PostPosted: **Mon Dec 29, 2003 3:57 pm**

Dane/Dayne, Ronald/Ronnie, Jacob/Jake, Michael, Alexander, Adrian, Anthony, Steven/Stephen, Paul, Tory, Tanner, Ophus...
I have no idea about the meanings, sorry. Of course the spellings of any name can be altered to make it seem more fantastic, or more sci-fi.
WooHoo!

I think another name related to "dark" in meaning is Donavan/Donovan or however you wanna spell it. Aiden/Aidan is a pretty one...I've used that one before ^^; Your character has the same hair and eye color as one of mine. Isn't the dark-hair-light-eyes thing so cool? ^___^

Edit: Hey SageRock, "Adrian" is one of my favorite names(used that one already too

) ^_^ I think its meaning has something to do with "dark" too.

how bout' Avery, or, Fuast, *that one I made up, I like made up names ^_^* or, Durain? *also made up ^_^*

I also had trouble when deciding what to name one of my characters, but for some reason I have little trouble giving other people advice. Go figure. I like Chloe's suggestion of Griffin. I personally suggest Joel.

I like Aiden.
I have a similar character who I named Zeke.

PostPosted: **Thu Jan 01, 2004 4:54 pm**

PostPosted: **Thu Jan 01, 2004 4:57 pm**

you know "Mordecai" is found in the Bible and means "most excellent man..." hmm? OR Micah (the prophet) sounds cool too

PostPosted: **Fri Jan 02, 2004 11:29 pm**

Though I will never name any of the children I might have at some point in the future this, I've always been partial to the name Jonathan *God's Gracious Gift*

Interestingly, my first and middle names have now been suggested

PostPosted: **Sat Jan 03, 2004 2:09 am**

hmm..well I like Orin, Draken, Seiya (means blue sword),Saima is nice to! I've used all these names in stories I've made ^^ . I made up all the names exept for Seiya ans Saima,I got those from playing with some Japanese words(forgot what Saima means though ^^;; sorry!) I also like Aiden (i've used that one in a story before too)

PostPosted: **Sun Jan 04, 2004 1:46 pm**

Thankies!!! Those are all great names! I've finally decided and go figure, it's the name of a game my friend is in love with (the prequel andyways) . It's Riven. I'm not sure how you say it but i pronounce it Ree (ryhmes with see) ven (ryhmes with pen).

THAT'S BY BROTHER'S NAME! *well actualy it's Daniel but his middle name is Ezekeiel (did I spell that right? O_O") and he likes it better so he goes by Zeke*

PostPosted: **Mon Jan 05, 2004 7:17 pm**

For your character, is he tuff? If he has fairly big muscles, try 200 pounds or little more. That should be acurate. Try it, and see what happens.
