Re: Adopt A Name

I need some girls' names though, preferably Native American ones. I'll be haunting this list for a while.
Re: Adopt A Name
My grandmother was 1/2 Native American (Powhatan). Some girls names from our family: Danvage & Omena. Hope this helps.
Re: Adopt A Name
That's a really funny coincidence! The Finnish word for 'apple' is 'omena'. 0.0
Re: Adopt A Name
Neat!
Re: Adopt A Name
i LOVE Omena! I'm going to use it for my seeress. Thanks!
Re: Adopt A Name
I will definitely be using both at some point. :D Thanks a bunch!
Re: Adopt A Name
A friend of mine is named Nizhoni hope that helps. :)
Re: Adopt A Name
Off subject kind of but my grandmother was full blooded Powhatan...weird, i've never met anyone else who had that background
Re: Adopt A Name
Wow,my grandmother's father was Powhatan, his family name was Preserved Fish Dakin. I haven't met anyone else who has that Native American heritage. Good Luck on the writing !
Re: Adopt A Name
I really like Danvage. defiantly using it XD
Re: Adopt A Name
Probably taking Danvage, I love that. :D
Re: Adopt A Name
Tallulah is a Cherokee name meaning "falling water". It was the name of an old-time star--Tallulah Bankhead--who didn't give the name the most positive spin, but now that she's forgotten, the name is making a minor comeback.
Re: Adopt A Name
Thanks! I think I'll use it! :D
Re: Adopt A Name
adopting a few names that have been thrown around.
Re: Adopt A Name
Random thought, but wasn't that the name of Junior's mom in the movie Cool Runnings? XD Oh, I need to go watch that movie now...
...or maybe I'll make myself wait until I've reached today's goal. >.>
Re: Adopt A Name
Adopting 'Finly'. Thanks!
Re: Adopt A Name
Welcome! :D <3
Re: Adopt A Name
Kai
Keetah
Re: Adopt A Name

Re: Adopt A Name

Re: Adopt A Name

Re: Adopt A Name
Awesome!
Re: Adopt A Name

Re: Adopt A Name

Re: Adopt A Name
I mean Nova
Re: Adopt A Name
on a rather unrelated note my name is Anastasia, and I always get great joy finding stories people have written with that name :)
Re: Adopt A Name
Adopting Anastasia! Perfectly ironic fancy-name for an uncultured cowgirl.
Re: Adopt A Name
Shadow
River
Whisper
(I have cousins named Shadow and Whisper- boy and girl respectively)
RANDOM BONUS NAME THAT REALLY SHOULDN'T BE CALLED A NAME:
If
Re: Adopt A Name
oh, now I want to call someone If...
Re: Adopt A Name
If is an awesome name--I'm taking it for my villain!
Re: Adopt A Name
I'm gonna take 'If' because my main character for July is a. . . . . . .
Weirdo just to be nice.
thanks

Re: Adopt A Name
Adopting Craig
Re: Adopt A Name
Taking Blake. Could be my MMC.
Re: Adopt A Name
Totally adopting Zoe! But does anyone know of a name for a real tough and sensitive tomboy? Having trouble naming her....
Re: Adopt A Name
How about Ronja?
Re: Adopt A Name
How about something gender neutral like Morgan or Blaise? I've always like Charlie has a tomboy name too.
Re: Adopt A Name
Coincidentally, I have tomboy character named Charlie. :D
Re: Adopt A Name
My main character is a girl named Charlie, with a full name of Charlotte. She's not a tomboy, though. Someone does make fun of her for having a boy's name in the story. But I personally like the sound of Charlie for a girl's name, or at least for a girl's nickname.
Re: Adopt A Name
Charlotte!!! You just named my MCs mom... thanks a million! :)
Re: Adopt A Name
Darwin
Re: Adopt A Name
Maybe Robyn?
Re: Adopt A Name
Tom would fit?
Re: Adopt A Name
Jo? Possibly it's short for Joanna, Joanne, Johnna, Jolyn, etc.?
Re: Adopt A Name
random icon love here -- do you mind me asking where you got it -- the source of the art, i mean - it looks like quite good fanart.
Re: Adopt A Name
for one of my short stories i named a tomboy "Scarlet" maybe you can use that I hope it helps!
Re: Adopt A Name
I named a tomboy Radish once-- of course, I was nine years old at the time.
Re: Adopt A Name
That sounds awesome. It I find a young boy pop up in my novel, I'll probably adopt Radish.
Re: Adopt A Name
I agree with Amelia, Radish is awesome. I might actually have a younger character that I can name that. :D
Re: Adopt A Name
Avery Blaize Finchley. I really want a tomboy with that name, but I can't fit it in, so I hope she gets a good home, and a marvellus adventure!
Saffie :)
Re: Adopt A Name
I might just have to use Avery Finchley. She's not a tomboy, and this isn't even for my NaNo, but I've been looking everywhere for unusual names for a story I've been sitting on. It's been dormant for a while, but I was looking on the forum for a town name for something else and BAM! The Plot Bunnies hit me in the face and I had to come here and look for a name.
Ta!
Re: Adopt A Name
1) give her a normal, female given name, and then find a nickname from that. You could give her a name like Samantha or Alexandra, which obviously have unisex nicknames. Another option would be Danielle, and instead of going by the common 'Dani' insists people call her 'Dan' or changes the i to a y to sound less feminine.
Not all nicknames are obvious, I've never met anyone else who uses the same nickname I do, (with the exception of my choir director sometimes just using the first syllable of his wife and co-director's name, which is the more common name. She and I share the same given name).
2) Give her a unisex name. Some unisex names might 'scream' a gender to you...like, I'd normally consider 'Blair' 'Brett' 'Brynn' and 'Carter' to me male names, yet I have read a female Blair, and it worked. Could her more male sounding name have affected her being a tomboy? Other names like "Sidney" "Jordon" (in any of it's various spellings) "Riley/Reilly/other spellings" "Taylor" "Cameron" aren't usually gender associated. Still others like "Addison" and "Ashley" generally indicate female... but maybe she doesn't like that and could go by Add, or Ash, or such...
Interesting fact: Evan is a unisex name.
babynames.com has a fairly good list of names and meanings.
Re: Adopt A Name
How about Toni? I've got a character named that (It's short for Tonia) and she's the same kind of person you described.
Re: Adopt A Name
Tuesday was definitely the name of my MC last year :D
Re: Adopt A Name
Taking Tuesday--you named my FMC's brother's fiancee. Thanks a bunch!
Re: Adopt A Name
Adopting delaney and holly!
Re: Adopt A Name
Just wanted to comment and say my name is Amelia and it means "hard-working" or "hard worker" in old German. I choose a lot of my character names based on sound AND meaning.
Re: Adopt A Name
Taking Felix and Hudson, thanks!
Re: Adopt A Name
Grabbing Julian and I think Amelia as well.

Re: Adopt A Name
Irish names are my favourite :D
I'm not sure how popular these names are outside of Ireland, so I'll put down pronunciations, and the meanings I know from being an Irish-speaker. I'll put in fadas where they'd be in the old Irish language, but they're not really necessary when writing them :)
BOYS:
Ruarà (pronounced like 'Rory')
Séamus (pronounced 'Shay-mus', 'James' would be its English equivalent)
Fionn (pronounced 'Fyun', it was the name of a character in some old Irish legends: Fionn MacCumhail)
Córmac (pronounced how it's spelled)
LÃam (pronounced 'Lee-am')
Eoghan, Eoin, Owen (pronounced 'Oh-in', my brother's name :P)
GIRLS:
Aoife (pronounced 'Ee-fa')
Éabha (pronounced like 'Ava')
Ailbhe (pronounced 'Al-va')
Caoimhe (pronounced 'Kwee-va')
Bláthaid (pronounced 'Bloh-hid', I'm not 100% sure on the meaning but I know 'bláth' means 'flower' in Irish so it's something to do with that)
Saoirse (pronounced 'Seer-sha', Irish word for 'freedom')
Aisling (pronounced 'Ash-ling', Irish word for 'dream')
Abhainn (pronounced 'Ow-in', Irish word for 'river')
Re: Adopt A Name
Adopting Liam! It's perfect :)

Re: Adopt A Name
adopting beck ridley<3 thanks
Re: Adopt A Name
I'll take Thaine Willard! He'll make an excellent captain. :D
Re: Adopt A Name
Adopting Zenobia Addison. It's an unusual sounding name.
Re: Adopt A Name
I think I might like to adopt Zenobia (first name only) for my FMC. She doesn't feel much like a Zenobia, but she feels like she could be a Zen-for-short, and her little crafting/spinning shop could incorporate 'Zen' into the name, especially since I find spinning to be a very zen activity.
Re: Adopt A Name
I'm adopting Ridley as a first name! Love it!
Leaving Mortimer.
Re: Adopt A Name
I may take Beck Ridley, it sounds like it could belong to a serial killer/slasher film villain.
Re: Adopt A Name
Adopting Thaine, Xanthe, Cecily and Zenobia
Thank you so much! you just saved me hours of brain storming :)
Re: Adopt A Name
Adopting Ridley, perfect for my main character :) Thanks!
