I have a character. He needs a name. Any ideas? He's the rival from crystal.

Jethro

thanks.

here's some my friends came up with too.

if you see one you like, please second it or something.

unmei
miryoku
tsuchi
okureta
kodoku

which makes the list:

jethro
unmei
miryoku
tsuchi
okureta
kodoku

after checking up on some of the other sites i posted on asking for names, the list becomes:

jethro
unmei
miryoku
tsuchi
okureta
kodoku
kyo
nozomi
rocky

Actually, I am pretty fond of the name Bob... but I second jethro. ^_^

When I'm thinking of names, I usually just pick one off of a sign or magazine at random. It works for me.

Sometimes I use Babynames.com Look at roots and meanings and say the names aloud to see if they produce a certain feeling with their sound. (For example, names that start with "Sn" are good for conniving villains. Reminds people of words like snake, snail, sneak, sneer, snot, snoop, snag...)

Snoopy is not a viallin!



But hey! Jethro's got two votes!

Jesus.











Christ.

'Sn' words also include 'snow' and 'snuggles'. EVIL!
I admit I forced that. >_>

Yeah, I do something like that, except it's more 'take a random name, any name, and if you don't like it as it is, assrape it 'til it cries'.
'Fyrinae' started as 'Fern', but it reminded me of Fearne Cotton (British TV presenter) and she annoys me so I screwed with it for half an hour to see what I could make up. The fact it's now so stupid is kinda a running gag. =D
(Although I didn't do that for Skye. She got her name because she comes from what amounts to a hippie commune. It's tame compared to what I could've called her.)

From the list? Bob. It's a nice, multi-purpose name.
I do like Jethro also. It doesn't get used enough.

FINAL VOTING HERE!

the name should either fit the character or be ironic to the character

Call him "I'mtoodumbtothinkofanamesothiscomicisgonnabethebest!"

A character's name should be thoughtful and should reflect the person, I mean my main character in EB is Elemental Blader for his powers, and in CJ is Coveinant for the purpose of other things. Just put a little thought into it and you'll do fine, just don't worry and a name will come to you.
