google translate. Emaztea or Emazte is Basque language for Wife. then just change spelling around so pronunciation stays the same. I dont really like nonsense names all the time. Behen is urdu/hindi for Sister I've seen mmo games like iruna online name their bosses/equipments a bunch of different words from a bunch of different languages. Like the ice boss from an event was called Baraf (means snow/ice in other language.) Iblis plate was a shoulder pad that was red/black and iblis is another name for satan in some places.
names are overrated for non-essential character or one arc character use villager A, jade beauty B, evil young master Z or dead young master z
Hence why I stated mostly for MC/s to create some sort of impression. Well it depends on who you're asking.
Additionally i've seen names that are still in english but leave an impression because the name describes character. Like Tubby for a chubby guy, or a name like Rat for a streetboy.
It really depends on what you are going for. In the above case, do you want your readers to know that you are loosely referencing 113? Because I doubt anyone would subconsciously think Ehndzte == 113th, unless it is specifically stated in the text, and even then it would be quickly forgotten. In general, you want your character names to be unique and memorable, but not too creative that your readers are just confused. It's a difficult balance. Remember that names are also heavily dependent on your setting and history of the character, or more specifically the parents/person that gave them the name. if it is based in a past time or non-english location, then I suggest you do some bookwork with regard to names in that time period/location, and pick out some relevant names that look good to you.
I go with the general feeling. Like you know, the feeling! I just look at my characters and look at their personalities and life. And try to get a good name by just that. Or, think up a bunch of random names and see which one fits. It’s all about what fits for me. When you are unsure of a name, than instinct is what will help you!
Sounds nore like a surname. Could work for a male name although it can work for females too depending on how you pronounce last character
More like, it is going to be explained pretty early from the start why that is the name, so I took advantage of it. That way, it is virtually difficult to make a similar sounding name. The number will also be something important to the plot, well I planned it so I will change everything when it is meh. Thanks for the tips. I appreciate it.
Blame google translate-sama. Also typed in "one hundred thirteenth" in my case so I'm unsure how the l to r happened as I'm not a german language professional.
Depends on how deep your setting is. In my case elves have the tendency to end male names with R. Now nobility tends to have a second name. And mighty mages have a title. Oh, and "Star" in a name is a rank of nobility in itself, in this case the highest. Which leaves a character at sth like Liur Excelsior "Crucible" Starwing. Names do not randomly appear and instead come from a culture and language. If you build a half decent setting this will be part of your creation process.
I like to use Arabic names that correspond to the character. Like Abdul for a priest, Fahim for a student or scholar and jahin for someone from a bloodline family or something. http://www.babynames.net/all/arabic
If Ai-chan wants to make a very unique character name, Ai-chan simply write a program for it. Like what Ai-chan did here: https://forum.novelupdates.com/threads/author-tools.79773/ If Ai-chan wants to make it more specific rules, Ai-chan modifies the code so that Ai-chan doesn't have to hurt Ai-chan's head and in turn make writing a story a hassle. It's surprising how you can get 206 million completely unique names by spending like a minute writing the program. Ai-chan thought about adding a meaningful name generator as well, but nobody asked for it and Ai-chan doesn't actually need it for my stories.
