I am writing a fantasy novel, and I really need help with names for the villain.

He is a wizard-gone-bad, and can use magic to kill victims and take their power as his own. He happens to be the father of the main character, Perk. He is cunning, selfish, and just downright evil.

Hope y'all have ideas. Thanks :)

His name is Quirk, father of Perk and son of Rourke, grandson of Sirk.

awh, that's cute... I like the whole "father of, and son of," but it sounds, like something Tolkien would say, with the rhymes and all... thanks though! Any more ideas?

I really like Rourke and Sirk, but not especially Quirk for the bad guy. That name sounds like it belongs to a crazy scientist...

Perk > Quirk > Rourke > Sirk. PQRS. It's a pattern!

Was it Quirk (sounds like Kirk) or Quark in ST Deep Space Nine..anyway. Rourke is cool; Sirk is cool; Perk is cool but all toll too cute for lineage (unless it's a traditional family thing like naming all your kids with the first letter "D" for instance). Anyway...

Rourke
Meijster
Phyfe
Praxis
Chevalier
Chaveaux
Martyn
Abbott
Dunwynn
Cox
Albertus
Tallyn
Trenwyth
Gable
Gaston
Stephan
Tate
Tryon
Valentinus
Valerius
Rufus
Rafe
Mordox
Morwynn

I really like Tyron and Mordoz, as well as Rourke and Sirk. Hmmm...........

I also made up a couple... Indugo, Valatu, Azgo, Thirgo, Gorca, Vall, Orcagu, Faung, Mormina (maybe for the evil enchanteress in my novel, I was thinking.) Minar, Naro, Sarj, Elkoro, Heth, Shang, Varu...


I like the idea of having alphabetical names, where the first letter progresses as generations pass. I'm thinking of starting at Z, and that means I'm hoping to find a Q name, or an O name would do...

Quari, Quor, Orcagu...?

Also, since I really don't especially like O and Q names, I was thinking I could call him a name short for a longer name that starts with Q or O. For example, "His name is Cagu, short for Orcago, son of..(etc.)" yenno? Thanks for all your help!!!

How about Xavier? For some reason whenever I see an X I think of a bad guy :P Or maybe Xan, or Xeryus? Yes, their real names...
