Monster naming - little help with Spanish, anyone?

[Wofano Wotanto]

Worst case scenario you can blame the name on someone who’s not that great with words and it just sticking.

Considering she's going to be for a Spooky Month Sentinel Comics game, blaming any awkwardness on her metatextual creator's poor Spanish instead of my own does seem like an easy out, doesn't it? Fully in keeping with whole "your adventures are actually comics being printed by a faux publishing company" thing the podcast pushes so hard on. Usually I mostly ignore that so it doesn't wreck immersion but I can make an exception if need be.

OK, here my idea for your character. Her true name is vicentte, but nicknamed "Vicenta la Cenicienta" by lady Tramine. This told her she was found "in the middle of the street" when she was only a baby, but later she discover the cruel truth. Her parents not only they were married but also from a noble house, le Leblanc. Her mother was poisoned, and later after the wedding her father also by lady Tramine. She was the true heir when all her life she believed to be a bastard daughter fruit of sin.

OK, here my idea for your character.

I appreciate the effort, but the character concept's been done for a while now, all I was really looking for was language help to be sure I wasn't calling her the equivalent of Spooky Wedding Day Woman or something. Your idea's fine but not for the game I'm planning, which is a modern-day urban horror/crime noir thing with street level superheroes.

You should hang on to your idea and use it for a fantasy or historical game sometime, it's certainly got potential. Just not what I need for my game. Thanks for the help, though.

The concept is very easy to be transferred toward other genres or ages.

Other name you could use would be "Teodora la (novia) aterradora". Maybe the nicname was when she was a little but very unrully girl.
