How to pick the right name

Mix soft and sharp

A gentle first name with a hard surname (Brielle Hollowmere, Clementine Vail) makes a character feel layered. Readers expect softness and get steel.

Hint at her toolkit

Silver, salt, iron, rowan and light are old folk protections against dark things. Put one in the surname and the name tells part of her story.

Match the setting

Use flowing names for elven hunters, Victorian names for gaslight horror and Norse or Celtic names for northern fantasy. One consistent style makes a world feel real.

Give her a title to grow into

Start with a plain name and add an epithet after a big moment in the story or campaign. The Dawnbringer means more when the player earned it.
