I am a young writer and I like to have a list of names to choose from from when I am starting a new story. I like names that are unique, not many people have them. Recently, I have developed a liking for Word Names. Names like, "Bridge," "Eternity," "Eclipse."
Do you think that you could help me come up with some cool, unique names?

all the names i wrote are genuine romanian names
Oh. I'm sorry. I know that you said they were not English names but I kind of missed that part when I was replying to your answer. I think, if you want to know the honest truth, that the names are very good, but with the story that I am writing, I do not think that these names would go with it. I will definitely be using the names Mircea and Lavinia.
Again, no offense.
Do what I do, it's a neat trick for finding unique names..
Get a book, any book and look at a random sentence, for example:
"It was the fourth day of her stay in Sodgrun hamlet, ..." - Conan the Savage
now take the last few letters of one word and add them to the first few letters of the next. Thus:
Itwa
Ayof
Ersta
Runha
Yinso
etc, etc
Naturally, some will sound daft but many will sound good. I hope that helps.
I'm not really sure, but I will try it. Thank you.
Thank you for your suggestions. They're all great names.
I like the names Jessamine, Nash and Syn. Cynn (pronounced Sin) is actually the name of a main character in one of my writings. Of course I will answer your question if I am able to do so.
The names Freya and Holly are very cute names. Another one of my main characters is named Holly and you just gave me a great idea. Thank you.
I like Holly if you are going for a cute name. Freya is also really good. My favorite of these names is Destiny. It sounds really cool and sophisticated. :)
ive got a sis named celeana
I like that name. Thank you.
Yeah, that's an awesome name Brandon! Great job . . . and are you really 12 years old??????
Evander was my absolute favorite from this list. Thank you.
Thank you. Your list is very good. I like Lilliana and Amber, though I would change Amber to Ember, something less common. Daphne is one of my favorite names, as well as Katherine, and I like your idea for Bridget instead of Bridge.
Your welcome! I'm glad it helped you!!!
Hello! I was wondering if you could help me out for my own story. I need a name for a little sister. It is in my profile. Thnx!
Or Bridger is another suggestion
Kit is really pretty, and I like Xanthas. Thank you for your suggestions.
Moon is a great name! To be honest, I've been trying to come up with a name that means moon or something like it, but I never thought of actually naming my character Moon, so thank you for giving me the idea. I also love all of the other names on this list. Thank you so much!
You are welcome Madison! Hope your story goes well!
There's a character name generator online that you can choose from. Here are some of the components when trying to develop a story:
•First, decide whether you'll refer to your character by his or her full name, first name, surname, or a nickname.
•Remain consistent. Avoid sometimes using the nickname and sometimes using the full name, as this confuses readers.
•Only alter a name for a good reason. For example, a man called Ben by his friends might be Benedict to his starchy mother and Mr. Pierce to the babysitter. This makes sense according to their characterization, but don't have the babysitter calling him Mr. Pierce one minute and Ben the next.
•Aim for interesting name combinations, but don't get too weird. "Velvet" sounds more like a horse than a person, and Crystal Shanda Lear is just silly. Keep your characters real.
•Use the name generator to provide story characters with dissimilar names. If you have Polly and Paul in the same story, or even Robert and Rebecca, readers will have a difficult time remembering their names.
•Gve your characters names that not only begin with different letters but that also sound as dissimilar as possible. Ben and Jacqueline will be easier to remember than Ben and Jennifer, for example.
•Aim to have the name suggest something about the character. Think of the book Little Women by Louisa May Alcott, and that family of girls. Beth was the quiet, gentle daughter; Jo the strong, boisterous one; and Amy the baby of the family. The other names elude me at the moment, but those three stuck with me for forty years because they suit the characters.
Hope this helps!

I like the names Mircea and LaviniA, but the others look like they're just random words that you put together to make a name. I'm sorry. I don't mean to offend, if I had done so, but thank for your help. I think Mircea will go great with a story that I am working on now.
