Question:
What would be some good female names?
?

OK, well, I'm a writer, and names have never been my strong point. I'm thinking of writing another story, but I can't think of any names. And my brain hurts :(. But, anyway I would really, really appreciate it if someone could give me some good female names. I want them to be strange names that you don't hear everyday, but still pretty and not TOO weird. If it helps, here is the basic background of the character (and this is a FanFic, for the CW show Supernatural)

Ok, if you know what Supernatural is about, this would take place this would take place season 4+. It doesn't tie in with the storyline, but the characters are still the same. Castiel is there, but the Sam and Dean are in between jobs when Castiel and Uriel come with a job, which I will get to in a second.

If you don't know what Supernatural is, then well, the two brothers (Sam and Dean Winchester) hunt evil things, and Castiel and Uriel are Angels.

Ok, Castiel and Uriel tell Sam and Dean that they need them to kill someone. They don't tell them why or who she is, they just give them a name and address, and send them to kill her. Well, when they show up its a 15 year old girl who they later find out is a orphan and lives on her own, and can kill demons, humans, and even angels the same way Sam can (although Sam cant kill humans or angels, but you get the idea), but without demon blood. Yellow eyes didn't bleed in her mouth or anything, and she doesn't have to drink any to make her stronger.

I really need a name that would fit her. She's graceful, but random and goofy, if you get close to her, which she doesn't let many do. She's very strong willed and stubborn. She's sarcastic, but she never crosses the line. She may come off as a mean person, but shes one of the nicest people ever. She cares about the people she loves, and would do anything to protect them. She believes that at least a little trust is a given, but respect has to be earned.

If you could please help me, that would be AWESOME. And, if you have absolutely nothing better to do, you could trow in a few guy names, fro other characters ;)

One thing to think about (to me) when naming a character is not what the character is like, so much as what the people naming her thought she would be like, or thought she was like. For instance, while Bella (which means beautiful) might be a fitting name for a beautiful girl, it wouldn't be good if her parents thought she was ugly or unwanted. If she's an orphan, how did she get her name? Did she name herself? Are her parents recently dead and they named her? Was she in an orphanage? If she was in an orphanage then she'd have a common name since those were the most common, or a religious name since they were often run by religious groups.



Anyway, since you didn't need my rambling, my first instinct was to go with names that mean, or represented darkness. Blake, Darcie, Garnet, Griselda, Kiara, Laila, Melanie, Raven and Zelda are popular names. Aphra, Corvina, Devany, Dorcey, Duana, Kerrin, Melantha, Phaedra, Phoenix and Sable are uncommon names. All have some dark connotation, but others carry more weight than just that. Phoenix implies life and rebirth, but it also implies death by fire. Zelda has darkness, but also war and battle. Garnet is deep blood red, but also firmness and stubborness.



Good luck =D
