My mortal enemy: Names!

@writing

Outlining a book with four chosen-one type protags. I don’t like the names I came up with. I need better ideas, if you’d be so kind?

  1. Harrison “Harry” Bach: Destined to become the Attorney Supreme. Terry’s BFF
  2. Tiresias “Terry” Garanhir: Chosen by the Drover’s Crook. He talks to critters.
  3. Minthe “Minty” Garanhir: Future Dragonslayer. She’s Terry’s twin.
  4. Adulphine “Alfie” Mordred: Carries the Curse of Cadmus (she’s becomng a dragon)

    Feel free to ignore me but:

    Alfred “Alfie” Joseph

    Bengiman “Bengie” Oliver

    Maya Oliver

    Persephone “Percy” Elm

    • in greek mythology Persephone was taken by hades (in an unwanted arranged marriage of sorts arranged by her father zues) to control the underworld with him, becoming the queen of the underworld. her mother sad to lose her causes winter and apon Persephones return to her mum every year, summer returns.

    Also

    “The myth of a goddess being abducted and taken to the underworld is probably Pre-Greek in origin. Samuel Noah Kramer, the renowned scholar of ancient Sumer, has posited that the Greek story of the abduction of Persephone may be derived from an ancient Sumerian story in which Ereshkigal, the ancient Sumerian goddess of the underworld, is abducted by Kur, the primeval dragon of Sumerian mythology, and forced to become ruler of the underworld against her own will.” Wikipedia

    I also like the name lucida

    These are just random names that popped into my head just before sleeping so feel free to ignore or pluck what you like (also I spent way longer thinking about the first names then the last names so I’m not set on my last names)
