Fantasy Names

[Gentlegamer]

Here is an uncommon, non-fantasy name that I have always liked: Meredith.

 

[Bran Blackbyrd]

My nephew's name is from Arthurian legend; Tristan. Of course a year or so after he was born EVERYONE started naming their kids Tristan, even the girls.
For some reason everyone around here seems to automatically assume it's a girl's name. Possibly because it rhymes with Kristin, but more likely because this is sort of an intellectual dead zone around here...
My niece's name is Madison; also named before the 'girls-named-Madison craze'. My sister physically beats on anyone who attempts to call her "Maddie".

Eilonwy is a nice one. She's from the Black Cauldron (Chronicles of Prydain).

Name sources

Virtue names can be fantastic, if a tad stressful for the child: eg,
Honor
Prudence
Charity
Hope
Fortune

Plant names can work too:
Rose
Buttercup
Rue
Blossom
Holly
Heather

And it may be my own way of playing D&D, but I like my homebrews Rennaissance-style, so break out your Shakespeare!

Juliet
Beatrice
Titania

Best of luck with the little sprout!

Or, you could go completely the other way, and name her Jezebel.

Buttercup

Now, that would be cause for a Lizzie Bordon.

Why do you build me up....

And is pregnant with Bubbles? I hope they never have a boy - neither Mojo Jojo or Neutronium strike me as names a kid should have to go through life with.

Maybe Dexter, though....

How about HIM?

Originally they thought they were having a boy and picked out Solomon Alexander (a perfect action hero name). Then when they knew it was twins, one was to be Solomon, the other Alexander. Having girls through them for a loop. When I learned their names I thought them a bit eccentric and I had no idea they were from the Powerpuff Girls. When my mother heard them she thought they sounded like names for horses . . .

 

[Andrew D. Gable]

Now, that would be cause for a Lizzie Bordon.

I wonder if Lizzie Borden's famous misadventures with a hatchet were due at least in part to the fact that her middle name was Andrew.

I thought of one combining some stuff said on here. Since SJ likes the name Ava already, how about Ava Adora, slightly modified from a Smashing Pumpkins album?
