In fantasy stories, it is essential that you also comply with a certain ‘regularity’ in the naming (if you have it!) OR have a reason to deviate from it.
In the end, it is as in the naming in ‘normal’ stories, in which you take into account the scene of the story or the particular cultural origin of the family of the figure and, if necessary, also the attitude of the parents (someone who has already mentioned his existing three children Maximilian, Konstanze and Florentine will probably not choose ‘Ruby Rebel’ at the fourth).
Here you already have a brother… there you can see if any regularity can be found or if you have the custom, that the first letter of the first name must be directed to something, etc.
If all names fit into the criteria, just take the one you like best or, if you can’t decide, just get out.
A name does not have to have a character-matching meaning (the fewest readers have a baby name book lying on the lap and fertile in it during reading) and all these qualities that you show here are characteristics that the parents as they have given to the child have not yet known the name.
Even if the person gives himself the name SELBST, he will not go in the direction of ‘I’m looking for what suits ALL my qualities’, but you will probably choose first and foremost a name that suits how you would like to work on other people.
Even if someone calls himself, he’ll hardly take what ‘narcissistic-toxic ointment never gets a woman’ means.
And if you want to ask the reader about his favorite… there are as many opinions as there are readers, I would say spontaneously… so you can simply take IRGENDEINEN names. For example, I don’t like the name ‘constantin’ especially… but if he’s in a book, I don’t have a problem with it now.
Ultimately, the person who has to do most with the name is more you than you have to write the story with the name. So in doubt simply choose your (fitting!!!) Favourites and focus on more important things such as the concrete design of history and character.
I wish you all the love and fun with this:)
Fu have written too much I don’t think anyone will read through (nett meant) 🦐
I already and I find it very instructive, but the name usually fits the look, right?
If you already have problems with this text, why do you give answers when it comes to naming novel characters? The probability that you will read a novel, that is to say a much longer text, is then correspondingly low…
The questioner asked a question, I answered him very carefully… I do that very often and so far hardly anyone has complained… at least among those who were interested in the answer.
A very good reason 👌
Thank you :
I find the name Hektor sounds really hard and fits your description of the character with the hard shell, soft core, but I think that the name Rowan fits the look better and that was first because xD
I hope I could help you

I think the name Rowan sounds kind of like a fighter. I don’t know why, but under the name, I can imagine such a figure. 😄😉
Rowan is, in my opinion, suitable for the visual, but not so much for the merical part. Merryn could also fit and harmonize with the name of the brother. Odran sounds harmonious for a murky guy, but not really like a charming, smart, pretty man. I don’t like the rest of the names, or find them too usual for fantasy.
This decision is wrong
This is a decision taken on the basis of an opinion.
If I ask you if you prefer to eat chocolate or chips, and you truly call one of the two, then I can say badly, that’s wrong.”
No one has anything. I did not criticize your answer, but only your comment.
I want to call him Hector
If it’s a FANTASY story, this story doesn’t require anyone to be called ‘in real life’.
I don’t know a ‘Tywin’
Wrong means there’s a right thing. That is not the case with opinions. Just a “I agree” or “I see it differently”. And then a reasoning would also be useful.
In my opinion, no one is in real life so
I use my friend’s Google phone that always deletes a part of the answer, I mean My opinion is that wrong
You’re talking about a fact. The IST wrong. Not ‘I don’t think that’s right, ’cause…’
I’ve just got my opinion
Because he is a good swimmer, it would be better if he were ejn Bauer ☮️🌾
