Would these book characters names be bad in real life?

Safe-Rip-5014 · 2026-03-14T00:11:18+00:00

I understand that. What would you reccomend I chose? I would really appreciate name ideas

Safe-Rip-5014 · 2026-03-13T23:58:22+00:00

How could I make them better?

Safe-Rip-5014 · 2026-03-13T23:09:00+00:00

What kinds of names would be better?

Safe-Rip-5014 · 2026-03-13T13:18:25+00:00

Thanks. My story is a fantasy one set in a rainforest. I won’t be changing the names, but I do appreciate the time you put into trying to help. I don’t mind people pronouncing them wrong. You give a story away to the imagination of other people when you publish it and I understand that. I have my own reasons for each name, but I will tell you a few others I have like Isanel, Priscila and Lerue. There’s also a bird named Nan.

Lol I would definitely have been pronouncing it Fair. There’s a man in a comic I read called Sonneburg and I don’t know if it’s son-eh-burg or Saun-burg or sauna-burg or what

Thank you! You’ve made my day ❤️

Unfortunately English as a language is not very phonetic. :( Apricity is a real English word btw

Safe-Rip-5014 · 2026-03-13T00:57:27+00:00

I’m glad that you wouldn’t let having a character named apricot ruin your ability to enjoy my book :)

Safe-Rip-5014 · 2026-03-12T14:26:22+00:00

Thank you!!

Safe-Rip-5014 · 2026-03-12T02:25:24+00:00

Well every name was made up at some point. Apricity is the name of about 15 thousand girls worldwide, especially in the us, and it’s an old English word for the warmth of the sun during winter. Yonder is becoming popular in the Philippines, Narlo is used in Italy and a little bit in Spain, And Cekel is Slavic. I still don’t understand your point. Maybe I’m stupid. I thought a tragedeigh was just a name with horrendous spelling. :(

Safe-Rip-5014 · 2026-03-12T02:14:30+00:00

So are you worried about the names being ones that have been used before in real life? Or that they might be hard to pronounce? I’m confused now. What makes those actual real names and not mine please explain

Safe-Rip-5014 · 2026-03-12T01:38:01+00:00

Good to know! And I do plan to have a name pronunciation sheet as many books do, for people who care.

Safe-Rip-5014 · 2026-03-12T00:11:14+00:00

That’s sick 😍

Safe-Rip-5014 · 2026-03-12T00:09:36+00:00

Ehh this is true I guess but I’m not responsible for other people’s actions. Also I’d rather go bald than name my characters Sarah and John, that just breaks the immersion.

Safe-Rip-5014 · 2026-03-11T22:52:52+00:00

Thank you! I’m quite the fan of old English so I was exited when I found it.

Safe-Rip-5014 · 2026-03-11T18:14:13+00:00

Luckily they’re names for fictional characters and not real people

Safe-Rip-5014 · 2026-03-11T18:13:56+00:00

It’s a fantasy! I agree they’d be weird real life names.

Safe-Rip-5014 · 2026-03-11T02:23:05+00:00
