    So for a novel I'm planning, the character's first name is Nameless. Any ideas for a cool last name? Maybe even a middle name?

    If thats the first name then any other name before or after seems pointless to me~

    Look up fantasy name generator. You'll have plenty of different choices to look for a name.
    Also Nanashi which means blank in Japanese

    haven't decided if I'm going with English or Japanese so just assume either is possible.

    Where is that from? What language?

    Edit: NVM it's backwards

    If Nameless is the best first name you can think of, then there's no last name that can salvage this.

    Yeah, I asked before on another old thread, but that was just asking of any general cool name.

    I'm thinking of a name with -less at the end. Like from Absolute Choice with Heartless, Sunless, and Speechless. Like maybe Hopeless or Lawless.

    as it was a family name, just take it from the orphan house name.
    or add some nickname at the end.
    like : Nanashi no Minashigo-in
    maybe? im just google it.
