I can't be bothered with names right now. Anything is fine. I don't care about the geopolitical or cultural innuendos of the names. It's a jumbled up magical world that I might or might not flesh up later.

MC is a rusty-orange haired human kid who's the son of a noble and has to enter the fencing club as per family tradition. He's got an "otaku" friend who's all into mythical figures and part of the grimoire research society. He's also got that one "elf" friend who's from a pureblood lineage and always gets in trouble with the faculty like bringing alcohol to the dorm or stealing a drake wagon. That one edgy kid who just learned he's like 0.025% demon and now he bases his whole personality around it, even dressing in all black cloak and playing with knives (good thing his parents are clerics and healing magic is his specialty because he cuts his fingers a lot). And then that one strait-laced, boy scout type who's the leader of the group, who's just trying to get his friends avoid too much trouble but is also a good event planner.

Basically it's a group of teenage students in an academy which happens to be in a world of magic. They're in a dorm so maybe it's closer to fret boys or something, idk. I just want something to write to put my mind off. Maybe there's a b-plot focusing on a party of male adventurers lamenting the fact they can't get a girlfriend. There's also a black... axolotl? cat? bug? lizard? dog? Named Null who MC randomly picks up from the thrash and delegates as his familiar (pet) when he was a child.

Well, one name I used to use a lot but haven't in over a decade is Melenkurion (for an elf or half-elf).
Rusty McNobleson for the MC (because it's the internet and you HAVE to have one of THOSE names on the internet... )
Mitch Wilde for the part demon doofus.

Dunno about Rusty McNobleson

I'm still open to suggestions.

MC, orange-headed fencer: a main charactery name? Something like Geoffrey, Cedric, Robin, Leonard?
Friend 1, magic geek: Something geeky and magicky, like. Reginald. Maybe Gautier, which he may shorten to Goetia, in refence to Ars Geotia.
Friend 2, elvish chad: Lhinagos. Lin for short. A name soft like the wind and noble, entirely opposite to his boozing and normal behaviour. He probably comes from a noble family with a fancy name, like Altoïndé
Friend 3, edgelord: needs 2 names. His stage name, which he insists everyone uses. Something like Paimon or Bathin. Ironically, his actual name is probably Sebastian or Ian.
Friend 4, straight-laced leader. Need a heroic name. Someting like Xander, Alexander, Alex would suit him just fine.

More options:

MC: Alaric, Everett, Quentin, Théodore (goes by Theo?), Bastian, Leofric, Corwin, Julien, Justin, Rowan (orange hair = autumn vibes), Soren

Friend 1: Théophile, Isambard, Melchior, Lucien, Benoît, Ignatius, Corvinus, Balthazar, Erasmus, Hieronymus

Friend 2: Aerindor, Althandor, Liraelion, Caerwyn, Thaliondir, Elandros, Aurenil, Velion, Sylandel, Tirian

Friend 3: (real) Daniel, Kyle, Gavin, Tristan, Maxwell, Eli, Zachary (monicker), Malphas, Zepar, Astaroth, Nyxion, Vaelik, Vireloth, Dreadmourne, Noctem, Azrazel, Zevranox

Friend 4: Roland, Galen, Darian, Alric, Leonhart, Tavian, Caelan, Gideon, Viktor

You can always change the name of the story later. You will find the right name with time so don't think over think it too much

If you can't even be bothered to ask AI for names, I can't be bothered to help either. Then again, I expect nothing. Anyway, I did it for you:

Main Group:

  1. Kael Ardentis – The rusty-orange-haired noble MC, reluctantly upholding family tradition in fencing.
  2. Rin Tomeweaver – The otaku friend obsessed with myths and grimoires (a play on "tome" + "weaver").
  3. Elric Sylvaris – The troublemaking pureblood elf who smuggles alcohol and "borrows" drake wagons.
  4. Vexis "Vex" Mourne – The edgy 0.025% demon kid who wears all black and constantly nicks his fingers.
  5. Garrett Brightshield – The responsible leader, always planning events and keeping his friends mostly out of trouble.

Other Students/Faculty:

  1. Professor Aldric Thornfield – A strict fencing instructor who clashes with Kael.
  2. Headmistress Liora Veymar – The exasperated but fair dorm supervisor.
  3. Darien Swift – A rival fencer who looks down on Kael for coasting on family name.
  4. Milo Quillspire – A nerdy alchemy student who sometimes helps Rin with research.
  5. Seraphina "Sera" Duskbane – A popular upperclassman who thinks Vex’s demon phase is adorable.

Adventurers’ Party (Forever Single Squad):

  1. Bran Hardtusk – A burly, unlucky-in-love dwarf warrior.
  2. Silas Fleetfoot – A roguish archer who’s convinced he’s charming (he’s not).
  3. Orin Stormcaller – A mage who accidentally sets his own love letters on fire.
  4. Tobias "Toby" Merryweather – A bard whose romantic ballads always end in tears (his own).
  5. Gareth Ironvein – A knight who’s too honorable—women think he’s boring.

Miscellaneous:

  1. Null – The mysterious black axolotl/cat/bug/lizard/dog hybrid that Kael rescued from the trash.
  2. Lady Isolde Ardentis – Kael’s stern but secretly indulgent noble mother.
  3. Master Corvin – The retired adventurer who runs the fencing club.
  4. Jessa Proudfoot – A cheerful halfling cook who sneaks the boys extra food.
  5. Lucian Voidcrest – A shady upperclassman who might be an actual demon (Vex’s idol).
