Names

There, you have your hero.

Google 'Baby Names'. Search by letter, language, meaning, etc.
IE, some I've found and like;
Adonis - Lord
Caden - Son of Battle
Amittai - Truth

I also have on my home computer a huge list of real-life female and male first names, followed by a slightly less huge last-name list. Usualy I just make it up as I go, phoneticly spelling random sounds I like.
The Captain of the Guard in 'The Castle' was created when I wanted something that sounded medieval and like a leader, came up with (King) Arthur, and retarded it slightly; 'Arthua' - 'Arth-you-ah'.

Um, think that's everything I use.
Good luck!

I always liked Aiden.

Future stuff always rocks with Sky in it.
Skyreaver
Skyfalls
Nightsky (or ski)
ok maybe I'm getting goofy.

Drago
Draco
Droogari

Roland (but if u use it you better make his last name kick butt or he'll be picked on unmercifully. Roland Nukenator or something similar.)

Atambi
Crystal
Delanora

Ok I'm gonna go wacky if I dont stop so this is enough for now.

Hey guys, most of you enjoy helping people, and so I figured I'd come to you with a way you can help me.

I'm trying to come up with a game, and with that game I need names. Names that are unusual, but not ridiculous.

Example of Ridiculous: Deathcrusher Megasmash

I'm looking for names for story characters in a futuristic society.

Zain Anduin (Doesn't really exist) is a good example, but so is Ian Lawrence (Does exist).

So here's where you guys come in, post as many name as you can think of that fits the description. I've tried random name generators, but they generally just take names from the census's, and don't have the right style that I'm looking for.

So if you come up with something creative and unique, post it here if you'd like to help a brother out.

Thanks.

Easiest is to take a preexisting name and change a letter or two.

Robert -> Rolert, Robern, Robent, Rabert, Tobert, Ribert
Alex -> Arex, Olex, Alen, Alix, Elex, Alez

[Killfr3nzy]

Reverse existing names?
Robert - Teebor (Tea-boar)
Jared - Deraaj (Der-adj [said like front part of adjective])
Jordan - Nadroj (Nadd-rodge)
Callum - Mulak (mul[e]-ark)

Eh, vaguely works.

[Zain]

Names usually just come to me... or I get them from very isolated places that no one knows about and use them as my own...

But not many of those are like that...

[Makanyane]

Try looking at names in odd topics like demon or angel names and mythological stuff, a few ideas from that:

Cybele
Selene
Galanthis
Alaster
Orcus
Mathim
Adriel
Cassiel
Grigoni
Zephon
Gefling

Just don't pick too much from similar source or anything too well known.

Wow, very nice... I especiall like Ryback, Frayden, Idris, Archer, and Tarus.

I'm more into guy names... I guess I have more of a knack for picking up futuristic guy names.

Tanis and Elyon are a couple of good names too.

[Decker]

Have you thought about using Ronin? The bad guy who's so badass that you like him enough to revel when he kicks your rear in.

Some of the names can be used as either a last name or a first... but these are names I will most likely use in something eventually. Keep 'em coming guys, this is helping me a lot!

[Decker]

Besides the amount of names we came up with... hows the game/project that you are making coming along?

[Killfr3nzy]

Dibs 'Amittai Caden'. And yes I know they're both first names.
...

...
'Amittai Santarim'? I can haz, plox?
And also, I claim that the question above is good.

Doing well, once I get a window of free time I can do something to get it nearly completely done.

Those are quite cool for a fantasy setting, may I ask what mythologies are they from?

[Zain]

I'm still interested in gaining new names. Thanks.
