For my story, I had named two of my characters LONG BEFORE I knew what their meanings were. One was named Nicholas and the other was named Miyako. I went about their names not knowing a thing until I did some research about it. A nickname of Nicholas, Nico, in Japanese would mean "sunlight" or "daylight" while a definition of Miyako can mean "beautiful" "night" "child" This ended up fitting so well with the roles I had planned for the characters and how they would start as opposites and then become partners, they're metaphorically the sun and moon!

I had a story idea in mind where characters need to earn each letter in their name by winning battles or doing something significant to the story, so alot of beginners have names like "B" and "Y" above that the people have names like "Zu", "Ji", "Ra", above that, "Jac", "Cal" Other people on a much higher level are named Prince-King-J (knowing that it can take a long time to get all the letters, this would be telling the reader that this person most likely was a prince and is now a king) other champion character could have decided on a name already, but had to keep fighting much longer than expected so they are called "Moneyyyyyy" or something funny like "Kabutotototot"

1. Easter eggs 2. Anagrams 3. Tribute or Reference 4. Sound 5. Feel it out, keep track of eras 6. Naming sites? Look em up 7. Create fictional names in groups 8. Alter already existing names of people or things to form fictional names 9. Spelling alteration and spell according to pronunciation 10. Memorable, syllable count 11. Research the names you consider 12. Know the meanings of names but don't always stress much over it 13. Just like naming your pet or kids 14. Names not as important as story 15. Name of the character could also be name of series 16. No rule, break the rules if you want, mix and match the tips etc.

Sometimes sticking to your original names, that came out of nowhere, can have fun results. As I was planning one of my stories, I randomly gave my MC "Nicora" as a surname. I did a bit of research and in Japanese, "niko" means "daylight" and Ra is the Egyptian sun god so it worked out, funny enough. Because of all the sun references, I made her family symbol mainly a sun, though I'm trying to make the design interesting, and gave her father golden eyes. Little things like that.

"Call signs" are good character tropes in military fiction and military science fiction particularly in pilot culture. The reimagine of Battlestar Galactica played on this very well, e.g. Lee Adama used the call sign Apollo (playing on the original series) and Kara Thrace was known as "Starbuck" -and although they used their rank and actual name in formal conversation with superior officers, amongst their peers in the squadron they were known as their call sign as a means of camaraderie and esprit de corps. When I reimagined Operation Atlantia that I created in the 70's, I used a lot of that.

I like naming my characters by mixing anime easter eggs with words that relate to the character themselves. For example, my protagonist's name is Dok Dovebar. Doves represent peace, which is what Dok wants. It also contrasts with the main antagonist, Marina Hawkorder, foreshadowing the fact that Marina is his grandmother. The rest of his name is a ref to DBZ character Bardock. Another name that I came up with is Rave Notehand, the first name being a reference to the song Rave by Dark, while his last name is a reference to Berserk and based on the fact that he likes taking notes.

Recently I've been trying to get back into it bc regardless of not drawing or actually writing in about a yr I still had a shit ton of story ideas that constantly float around in my head. Like to the point that I need to write them down or draw them out. At this point I am going back to the basics of drawing and am trying to finish a story so I can actually start a manga.

The main villain of my story is called ''Judo van Moord'' I decided on Judo because it is short but still has a an intimidating vibe to it, and shorter names sound better when placed after titles, like ''Lord Judo''. Van was added there because he is a noble (although a somewhat poor one) and thus the ''van'' would indicate that the name that comes after would be a place name or the name of a noble house. Moord is simply the Dutch word for murder, which makes sense with both his personality and nationality.

Behind the name is a website that has a name generator where you can generate random names. The reason why I recommend it is the fact that they show you the meaning and you can filter names based on different languages. Need a name for a character that’s Russian? Select Russian. They have practically every language that is in common use and even different sections like fantasy names (subsection) or biblical names even.

A name with a lot of meaning behind it is: Boruto Boruto not only sounds similar to Naruto, but Boruto means Bolt in japanese. He's named Bolt in honor of his uncle Neji who's name means screw. Boruto also wears a screw as a necklace. And on top of that, Boruto's has an affinity for lightning jutsu. He's also the grandson of The Yellow Flash Minato, user of the flying raijin (flying thunder god). So lightning Bolt.

You can looking up male and female names or name a character off of stars. I names a character after the Aryans belt. Or you can name characters off of food, laundry or something like Dragon Ball. You can also make up a name.

I personally like naming my characters either with something that has to do with Gaulish or Nordic mythology, or after something from the show Charmed (the one from the late 90s to early 2000s). Or I base my characters off of existing concepts such as a specific demon and don't have to come up with a name (I do come up with nicknames though). My two main comics encompass these very closely. But I also add Easter eggs for myself by always naming certain background characters the same. A doughnut shop owner is always named Joe, death personified will always be named Tom and old white mentor characters will have the surname Berrycloth. None of these will ever be more than minor characters of course, but I like to include them and have done it in fanfictions.

I have my character named Ashrif. The name was made up but upon research there’s a name ‘ashraf’ meaning royalty it’s middle eastern which is kinda a hot place, Ashrif is royalty from a made up hot place and a fire demon. Ash is something from burnt fire and rift is something that divides or is between... or past. He is no longer royalty and can’t get back to his world either way.

There's one character I have where he's the goodie-two-shoes, traditional superhero that always plays by the book and never does anything illegal or controversial, so I decided to give him a name straight out of the Marvel/Stan Lee formula; Ben Bradley. Matching letters, 3 syllables, and completely interchangeable/generic.

I have a story call (The day when it's time) you can read it on Twitter. My name OsyMakin. Anyway, my character name is (Hlah Hazeber) his name is pronounce Hell not hl-ah. His name was originally made by the rock band call "head like a hole", I used it because, it means the character have billions of time and rewind time too see the secrets in the mysterying crimes that's in the store. The other reason why his name is Hlah was, hlah was firstly spelled halla. Halla definitions is: Halla is the only grocery-specific AI that enables grocers to predict shopper preferences in real time and offer hyper personalized recommendations that drive revenue and loyalty like never before. Which was kinda use for the story but rewrote different. His last name Hazeber mean the word hazard. In definitions: "putting something in risk" that also tell the viewer who's reading. That the character is at risk of a story. In the risk was being involved in the ten murder suspect at a hotel room. Which 20 people was involved into. My other character (Fack Fapor) His first name Fack is meaning in the word fake. When I thought of his story. His story was just being a liar in the store. At the same time being humanoid to dose that call him a murder by looks. Fack roll was just being mysterying are the (guy in the shadows) His last name Fapor is meaning of vaporizes because he was a assassin's that killed without knowing he was killing actual innocent people because he was trained by Owsame Roxie the ten tails. Who made them look like they was the shadow monster. Till his step brother figure show as a shadow monster. Wish showed who Owsame Rocix who he was. At first he was just a (no man with no face) also the (guy in the shadows) till his act been futaltilize by Fack and Hlah. And it reveal that owsame was a kitsune. And he was a 10th tail that's hidden in a 6 tails from When I wrote the story I watched dead shot as reference. For my character that was being misuse by actual assassin's that have been cut down. By society. Wish is in the store. There's other shows that made better ideas for my comics call (baby Taken) (The day when it's time) in short tdwn it. Editor me: there's no main antagonist. And no main protagonist But the character you pick shall be the main character. Even a villin. Which is the (green man with no face) good luck finding that. Because there's a lot of green on the characters. But also, the story is cause by one person. But if I tell. Then it will be a bad story for a secret plot. (I don't know if I have bad grammar or not)
