So I have a character that was originally just an au character of one of my other ocs (Main oc is named Rascal for context lol) but over time the au version became a completely different character
So im trying to think of a new name for him! My brain keeps calling him Rascal but it'd feel weird having two characters with the same name.
As stated in the title I'm looking for something similar to Rascal, other details is the they are a fallout oc (a ghoul + fishman hybrid to be specific)
Atm his name is Rotter but idk if I like that

So im currently writing a story between two characters, (Ai, and the character im trying to name.) Both of them are supposed to be Chinese, but i cant find a good Chinese name for the other. For some context, both characters are women, and the theme of the story is like a crime/thriller thing. im looking for a name that correlates to things about her, like her personality for example. (cold, direct, serious.) I also wanted to find names that were opposites of Ai's personality. (for added context, her personality is very energetic, sarcastic, and unserious.) Like for example the sun vs the moon, things like that. i apologize if this sounds confusing at all!

I've been trying to find names for a dokkaebi inspired character born in 1470s Korea, but it won't show any and shows 1940s names instead. I don't know much about Korea or the names so help would be greatly appreciated!

So, I am currently working on a story set in around 1944 which includes a mob. The leader of the mob is a sadistic and greedy man in his mid-thirties, wanted for crimes from arson to drug possession to mass murder. The last name is what he will be commonly referred to as, so please keep that in mind. So if anyone has some good fitting names, then please tell me.

TL;DR My character’s name is now tied with bad memories, and I need a new name.
Hello reddit! I’m new here and I wanted to ask a very strange question.
Should I rename my character, and what should it be?
My character, currently named Dean, is an aged detective in a supernatural world. He is stubborn and stuck in his ways, kind of an enigma within his agency, and has a rough past. He secretly has his own paranormal secret, but other than that he is pretty grumpy. (Yes my book trope is sunshine and grumpy, I am guilty) He is a hispanic man from the south, his father a railroad worker in the 1940s and his mother did local psychic gigs “for fun.” As he was born then, it is a long story how he is only in his 50s modern day so Imma not get into that.
Now, for my reasoning. When I was in high school, he was a roleplay character with my best friend. We did this with our OC’s, before she suddenly ghosted me very angrily because I got a boyfriend (I think.) What we had was such a deep, platonic love so it was a bigger heartbreak then my actual boyfriend. My character’s name reminds me of those times, and I need to learn and forget.
So, what do y'all think?

Without giving unnecessary details, my story is a modern small town setting in a place like the United States. The town itself is about 150 years old, and a ritual near it's founding gave the town itself a soul. The town is represented most of the time by a boy who appears about 12 years old, although sometimes appears at different ages.
I need a name for this personification of the town, but haven't found anything that fits at all. The designs and aesthetics of the town are loosely made with French and Irish roots in mind if that helps.
The character is supposed to be playful and mischievous with a darker underside. He starts off as the MC's "imaginary" friend, but that shifts when the MC leaves town. This character is willing to do whatever it takes to keep his friends, even if it means trapping them in the town.
Other character names in the story are; - Silas - Marley - Theodore "Dory" - Nadine - Fleur

I have an android character heavily inspired by Glados from the Portal franchise, but I've been blanking on a name that would be good for this character. I want their name to be short for something, similar to how Glados is short for Genetic Lifeform and Disk Operating System, but I can't 100% figure out what.
This character is also apart of a laboratory and controls the building, but doesn't conduct tests on lifeforms. Instead they work on research to solve some form of "great problem" in the world that their human scientists have been trying to solve for years.
They also used to be human and was later turned into an android when their body perished.

does anyone have any ideas for non-human non-binary character names? what i mean is something related to nature, objects, etc, such as flowers or a stone. i named my character rock stick (i wanted to give them the stupidest name i could think of lol) but lately the name hasn't felt right, so i want to mix it up. any suggestions welcomed! this is a sci-fi character, if that inspires you.
the character has gray eyes, naturally ginger-yellow hair that they dye a lavender color, and are extremely snarky/irritable, if this helps give you an idea of their general character. thank you!

Hi, I've been looking for a name for one of my characters. He's a god, so it's really hard to choose/come up with a name.
I want it to start with "L" and I looked up names for a while until I found one I liked but it was a female name, so I had to change it to a male version. I now have two names that I equally like and can't decide between.
1- Lythran
2- Lythren
It may seem like a small difference, but the "Y" is pronounced differently in each one. In the first one it's 'Lee-te-ren" and the second one is 'Li-te-ren'
If you were a reader, Wich one would you like better?

It needs to sound something like Captain Hook or Captain Blood or Blackbeard or Calico Jack or Long John Silver that has a cool sounding pirate name for a pirate captain.
The pirate ship that he is captain of is called The Silver Arrow.

I need name ideas for a female character, for a science fiction thing, the character is human
Science fiction with aliens and planets but humans have normal names.
Personality:
She is brave, intelligent and is very loyal to her team; sees them all as family. She gets angry sometimes, her getting angry is rare. Her anger level is usually 4, it’s very rare for her anger level to be higher than that.
Often focuses so hard on whatever she is working on that she loses track of time and doesn’t realize it until it's like three in the morning. Sometimes has to be reminded by her husband to come to bed, she has fallen asleep at her workstation on the ship before.
She is an introvert and is wary of others and things.
