"Dev Kimiko"
You might think Akira is a really cool name for your Japanese female character, but you might not know that it's more commonly a boy's name.


My OC's called Akira, and I didn't even know it was Japanese until now and it was a boy's name.

This was great! I always have trouble with names for things in my stories so this was very helpful.

I need help thinking up a name for the female MC of my HP fanfic. she's supposed to be Voldy's daughter, so her name has to be very evil-sounding. I have a couple that I like.
Ebony
Ebonique
Jade
Tisiphone

I like all of them. Any advice?

Tom Riddle isn't a very evil sounding name. So why should his daughters be evil sounding? Maybe she has a evil sounding made up name but... An evil sounding given name?

And who's the mom? O_O

What do ya'll think about the name Cedric? Will people go "Ohhh, Harry Potter!" or is it safe to use?

Unless it's a story about a magical school, I think Cedric would be a fine name. The last name should be really different but still befitting if you're worried.

Does 'retgerkind' sound like the name of an evil race of peoples, or a good race of peoples?

And no metaphysical discussions about how I can't brand an entire race of people good or evil. >.> I just wanna know what kind of impressions the word conjures up in your wonderful minds. Thank you. ^_^

Unusually dangerous, I trust you'll agree.

Sounds more along the lines of evil to me. It's the way it sounds faintly Germanic - wonderful language, German, but not especially romantic or mellifluous, and contains negative associations for some people.


Myself, I'm having a mild problem deciding on which combination of names sounds better - Spencer Ackroyd or Spencer Maddocks. Really can't make my mind up.
