Unisex name for a female sorceress?
I m writing something and I ve been stuck on a name for the OC. She s biracial, so light brown skin and lighter brown hair that s cut short, She s been on the run from the king who conquerd her kingdom where she was a child of the royal family (sorta). She s the only one who escaped and she gets stopped in a kingdom over a few where she s accused of using magic and taken before the king where eventually she becomes an apprentice to the court magician (or something like that).
In this world women can t travel alone (at least not easily) so she looks male passing, and I m looking for a name that is passing for both male and female, or a name that is female but has a male variation or nickname.
Thank you.

6 AnswersBooks & Authors6 years agowould you please check out my writing?
I realize that I might be asking a lot, but I recently posted a short for Fall and Halloween on my Wattpad page and I want some feedback that isn't just my family. It's really hard to get anything on that website noticed, especially a short that isn't updated weekly, so I was trying to get it out there for some outside feedback.
The reason i say that i'm asking a lot is because the short is a little over 11 thousand words. I guess that technically means it's not a short story, but it's also not a chapter book.
If you're bored or wanting to read a Halloween story, please click the link below.
Thank you if you choose to read it and thank you for your time.
1 AnswerBooks & Authors6 years agoWhat's your opinion of this summary?
I am writing a book on Wattpad, and I want it to be successful, but I'm afraid my summery is boring. I wanted to ask for an outside opinion on the ummary, and if you have the time if you'd be willing to actually read the book (i'll be glad for any advice you can give me either way).
Anyway, here's the summary:
Octavia Renolds--or Hestia as she seems to prefer--is a survivor. That's what Foster calls her, that's what Fox calls her, so it must be true; but she's struggling. She'll never admit it, but life hasn't gotten any easier. It seems as if her past is impossible to escape, but she's not sure what anyone expected, it's not easy to adjust to a new world after escaping from a war.
For eight years of her life she led kids into battle. It's not like she had a choice, it was fight or die. It was win or die. Octavia was ready to do everything in her power to make sure her team survived; however, things didn't always go according to plan.
She knows that in order to step into the future she has to face her past, but it's never that simple. Eight years of fighting and killing is not something you can simply face; it's not something you can ever truly get over. Now Octavia has to try to walk back through her memories and face her own worst fears. She'll have to face the people she couldn't save and she'll have to face the people who single-handedly ruined her life.

8 AnswersBooks & Authors6 years agoA villan name for a virus?
The villan is a computure virus that is occupying a video game. There are 28 people stuck in the game due to the virus. There were originally 30, but two of them escaped when the virus first took effect and now they're older and trying to get their friends out of the game.
The people who names the virus are twin sibblings (a boy and a girl) and they would have named it when they were 10, 11, or 12 years old.
For another visual this system the people are trapped in is a cross between sword art online and code lyoko. It's kinda like the world of sword art online with the transfer system of code lyoko...or something like that.
2 AnswersBooks & Authors6 years agoI need a name, for a character?
I have an character that i'm writing who needs a name. I've tried to think up some, and i have a few options, but i wanted some outside help.
The girl is fifteen years old with short black hair and icy blue eyes. She's usually in all black, but she's not goth, she just prefers black due to her line of work(she's an assassin/informant). Anyway, she's crazy smart and is usually five steps ahead of everyone else in just about everything. her weapon of choice is a switchblade, or a knife of some sort, although she can use just about anything she gets her hands on. She's best known for using her switchblades and got the nickname "Black Blade"
the names I've come up with(a rather short list)
Eden
Nikita (She's go by Kita)
Kaori
So there they are. I don't want generic names, i want it to be something you wouldn't hear every day. The name doesn't really have to have any specific meaning, but if you wanted something to work with then you can look for names that mean something like, Darkness, trickster, intelligence, or unconquerable.
Thank you!

1 AnswerBooks & Authors7 years agoNeed some major help finding a name!!?
So i need a name for a character in something im writing, but i cant figure out a name. Usually i can look at the image i drew and come up with something but i got nothing so im looking for some outside help.
This character is a boy between the age of fourteen and sixteen. Hes not very tall and is about the average hight that a girl usually would be. He has messy dark hair and hazel eyes. The guys got a childish personality but people think its a fluke because hes actually very wise. He's faithful to friends and kind to strangers and is willing to lay down his own life if it means saving a friends.
If u wanted to see the rough drawing i have of him here's the link(the pics not actually finished)

7 AnswersBooks & Authors7 years agoi need HELP with a name!!?
Yeah im sure you see plenty of questions asking for names and sad to say this is probably like the rest of them, but please still help
i have a character, a male. He's only about 14 and hasn't quite figured out the meaning a mature, but he's not rude in his immaturity. He was one of the chosen, although he doesn't know it till he meets the main character Camron and 16 year old girl, who was also chosen. see their story takes place in a world were magic rules, every one has magic, or so it seems but at a certain point in history(8 years before the beginning of the story) a shrine from olden times gets broken and a "villain" is released. released along with the villain were his captors, 5 mages of the elements, and just like the villain they reincarnated their power into a new person, the chosen. (actually the villain possesed someone, but that doesn't rally matter right now.)
so this kid is chosen, and he now has the magic of the element wind, and elemental magic is as rare as it comes. He lives with his oldest brother, who takes care of him and his little sister. This boy, as i said, is only 14 still pretty immature, but not in a rude way. He's bit on the energetic side with ADHD or something along the lines of it, and people never look at him or take him seriously. he can be serious sometimes, and goes on to prove it through out the book. anyway, he has startling grey eyes and brown hair. he falls a bit on the short side, but he hasn't quite hit his growth spurt yet. you would most commonly find him wearing black jeans, blue sneakers and a blue-grey half sleeve t-shirt under a grey hoodie vest (outfit is a work in progress).
i really need a name and if you have any ideas please send them my way
thanks!

2 AnswersLyrics8 years agoIs this a strange name for this situation?
So im writing a story and ive been trying to decide a name for the main character who is a girl. I was thinking on the name colby. Yes i understand. Colby is a guys name, but please hear me out.
The girl in the story was raised by a father who didnt want a daughter. Because of this he raised the girl as a boy and sincethe mother was to terrified to do anythig about it the father had all say in the girls upbringing. The story is set in renissance times with swords play and magic, just so you know.
So now you know the situation so would colby(or any other regular boy name) be weird or should i find a name that could be either boy or girl, something like Avery or morgan
5 AnswersBooks & Authors8 years agoNeed a name for a girl...sorta?
Okay, so im writing a story and the main character is a girl who was raised as a boy. Her father didnt want a daughter and so he raised her like a boy. Its to the point where no one bothers to question it anymore. Her hair is always cut short and you would never catch her alive in a dress. The girl is actually quite stubborn. She has a brother named elliot who's also her best friend and they both share a secret. They are both sorcerers.
The two of them are also nobles and the story is place in a midevil setting. When both there parents die the siblings run away and go on an adventure. Of course people are chasing them because they are nobles and are needed at home(ill find a better excuse).
Anyway the girl has dirty blond hair which is almost brown and has natural highlights. Her eyes are brown and she has some hight to her. Her brother elliot has lighter hair and dark blue eyes. And is only about an inch taller than her.
Anyway i need a name for the girl(i want a boys name preferably a unisex name) if u have anything it would be greatly appreciated
Also i wrote this on a phone. I cant type on this thing and it hates doing anything correctly including punctuation so i apologize because if i go back to fix it im bound to throw my phone against the wall
6 AnswersBooks & Authors8 years agowhat do you think of this flashback intro?
The cavern was dark, illuminated only by a strange red glow that seemed to be pulsing with some sort of energy casting strange shadows across the walls
“My, my, aren’t you a strong one?” That voice vibrated off the walls, its target was the small, frightened girl in the corner. Her arms were thrust out in front of her as she struggled against some unseen force.
“For one such as yourself, I’m surprised you haven’t figured out how futile resistance is.”
The girl scowled glaring into the seemingly empty space. She was desperately trying to ignore the voice so that she could focus on the barrier, her only protection at the moment.
“Not giving in?” the voice cooed, obviously amused by the girls courage and stupidity, “Very well, we shall test your limits. Prove to me your worth.” The laughter echoed throughout the cavern as the girl continued to struggling under the pressure. It wouldn’t be much longer, and the child knew it. Her magic had long since faded and now all that was left was her life force. Sadly even that was running on empty.
The girl steadied her breath. She would not give in, not until there was nothing left. She had something to protect, and nothing was going to keep her from doing just that.
“Your time is running out child.”
The girl shook her head in defiance, she was not giving up! Using the last of her strength the small weakened child shoved all her remaining magic into the barrier, but it wasn’t for her. She now stood helpless as the unseen force knocked her mercilessly into the wall.
Burning, that’s all she could feel in her quickly fading consciousness. Everything burned as an unimaginable pain coursed through every limb, every muscle, every inch of the poor child. Nothing was spared, but just as quickly as the pain came upon her it vanished.
The pain was gone? Why? She couldn’t process what had happened. She couldn’t process anything! It was too late anyway, the girl had nothing left and could only wait for the impending darkness to consume her. In the silent moments before her last breaths a familiar voice called out to her.
“I’m so sorry, Cam,” it said barely a whisper, “I love you so much.” That was the last time Cam ever heard that voice, and she replayed the words in her head, over and over, as she drifted into a strange white world.
***************
Sweet so there you have it folks. Thats the intro. it's a nightmare flashback and moments later the girl wakes up. i was just wondering opinions, and don't bother commenting on the grammer cause i already know i have a long ways to go! actually go ahead, i'll take anything good or bad!
thank for the help!
