FFC #51 - What names do you want to see?
Posted May 13th, 2020 at 02:34 PM by TGRF
TGRF's Fan Fiction Chronicles - Entry #51
Since my last entry, things have improved considerably in the writing department. I still don't have solid control over the second act like I would like, but I at least am getting there, and can reliably get through it now.
I've also settled on the series I want to tell. Where things will end up is still open-ended, but things are starting with a version of the vampire story I've had in my head for some time. Development is progressing steadily, and writing should begin before the end of the month, barring any major roadblocks.
But before I can do that, there is one thing which I could use your help with: names. Naming characters has never been my strongest suit. And the hardest names for me to come up with are vampire names. And considering that this is a vampire story, you can imagine that I need to come up with a few of them.
So to any reading, I would like you to reply with any and all names which might come to you. You might see them in my next fan fiction.
Submitting a name does not, regrettably, ensure its appearance in the story.
Here are the exact names I need:
Take care with these names: one of them will likely become a main character in future stories.
Now give me your best ideas!

Here are the exact names I need:
- Two names for male vampires. One is a commander. The other is his son, is still quite young, and has yet to participate in his first battle.
- Two names for female vampires. One is the wife of the commander. She does not participate in battle. The other is for her daughter, who has just been 'born'.
Take care with these names: one of them will likely become a main character in future stories.
Now give me your best ideas!

None of the names had quite the feel I wanted. I was able to get enough quality names by playing around with the boss names from Dark Souls 3, all of which had a good ring to them. While I won't be using the suggested names for the main (side) characters, there are plenty of other one-scene vampires where I can use the suggested names.
