Letter Bias

[RepresentingWrath]

Am I the only one who overthinks names and they always have to have meanings?

It's the opposite.

It's the opposite.

Here, this one is for free

Meanings and origins of names - https://www.behindthename.com/
Surnames - https://surnames.behindthename.com/

Here's an example where I searched for intelligence

https://www.behindthename.com/names/browse.php?operator_meaning=&value_meaning[]=intelligence&lookup_meaning=1&grammar_meaning=1&synonyms_meaning=1&narrower_meaning=1

There's a lot of options you can use, it can be a little overwhelming but you mostly use 3 or 4 advanced options if you're looking for something more specific

There's also a name generator

Random Name Generator

This random name generator can suggest names for babies, characters, or anything else that needs naming.

You can also use ChatGPT for unconventional Japanese names (names that nobody uses because means something bad, like poop), but you have to cross-reference with Google sometimes. ChatGPT is wonky

So, if one was to try and harvest good, one should get both the heart and liver, just to cover your bases?

Asking for a friend.

yes, but keep them strictly separate and DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT(!!!) let any of the materials mix, or it will all be for naught. Ahem, hypothetically, of course. Not that I'd know it, I'm a saintly kindly witch, I wouldn't eeeeever do something like this.

S, T, B, and O

The the two characters I’ve named both start with A, so I think I might be a bit biased toward it. It was completely unintentional as I was trying to find names with a meaning that represents the character.

 

[HelloHound]

probably S? but I'm pretty decent at diversifying the letters used for names

 

[melchi]

Is there a letter that you are biased towards when naming characters? I find myself biased towards the letter E. What I mean is that most of my protagonists will have a name that starts with E. Does letter bias plague your names?

I try to use names that mean the main thing that character is supposed to show. Like merumeru is Japanese for slimy. She is a slime girl.

At least you pay respects to the ones you isekai.

I think that I like alliteration when making names.
Either that or names with meaning. Depends on how important the character is.

I come up with a meaning for the names usually. This is sort of weird, but a lot of my names have three syllables.

 

[RepresentingWrath]

Why?

 

[LunaSoltaer]

I have a strong bias for þ but can rsrely justify using it.

 

[Deleted member 84247]

Why?

What's the opposite?

 

[RepresentingWrath]

What's the opposite?

Everyone overthinks.

 

[Deleted member 84247]

Everyone overthinks.

?True!

I have a strong bias for þ but can rsrely justify using it.

I am not sure what that letter is.

 

[LunaSoltaer]

?True!

I am not sure what that letter is.

It's thorn!

It's an older English letter that fell out of favor. it typically means "th" and was sometimes replaced with y (where do you think Ye Olde comes from?)
