[Pseudo-poll]/[Study] Female Fantasy Names

[s/LaSH]

Without digging out some really old character sheets, I can only remember:

Stella

And quote the names of PCs I DM for:

Caterina
Thetis

(Fear the imagination that comes up with these names! Bwahaha!)

 

[Tauric]

These were the names of of my friends' characters

Jyseria (human bard)
Alice (human fighter)
Feyline (elf fighter)
Holly (elf cleric)
Lilla (human cleric)
Briana (human wizard)
Pruuma (half-orc cleric)

Now, what's this hypothesis?

Sarabella, human monk/psion/metamind

Edit: I've never been told a post is too short before.

Hmmm, if my counting is correct: 137 out of 262 names, or 52 percent, end in a vowel.

 

[Elf Witch]

Wow I noticed a lot of Ariana or Arianna when I Picked it for my female elf I had never heard of it.

 

[SpringPlum]

I had to double check my spelling but here they are:

Saoirse
Anastasia
Naesa
Lorelei
Maena
Siovale

I think that's all for fantasy-style games. 50% end in an 'a' so I guess I'm pretty par for the course.

 

[Elf Witch]

Double post sorry.

 

[Magic Slim]

Anyone else notice about 50% of these names end in "a"?

SHH!

Thanks for the input, everyone. It's a little late to do the analysis, I'll get right on it tomorrow morning.

Slim

Hmmm, if my counting is correct: 137 out of 262 names, or 52 percent, end in a vowel.

Well of course!

Nothing's more fem. then a vowel
