How I come up with fantasy MC names:

I named my chick lamp Stephanie.

Stephanie needs to be charged...

Stephanie... Stephan... Tiffany... Tiffan? Ohhh!

Tiffan glared at his sister who was always right and knew it. She'd warned him about stock piling, about raiders and taxes and all the ways his quested wealth might be lost, and now here she was with an I-told-you-so huff as the dragon circled over head. Tiffan stomped toward his hoard shed without a word, snatching the sword out of the compost pile on his way.

Note: this is Stephanie 🐣

Note note: Tiffan is actually a name already...? I think they're lumping Tiffan and Tiffany though. I dunno, fantastical vibes are subject to the time and aesthetic of the people reading it anyway. I just go with whatever I got ��

#fantasy #science fantasy #dark fantasy #fantasy writer #science fiction #creative writing #character names #name ideas #chickens #Stephanie #when i googled Tiffan #i found a reddit thread #that said Tiffany is a grandmother name #writers #I'm not actually writing this story lol #its just an example of how it happens #i named a character apple as a place holder once #because i was in an orchard at the time #then it was in the news that a celebrity named her baby apple #and so i left the name #and my teacher commented that Apple wasnt a real name #i brought her the article and she said she didnt take any points off she just wanted me to think more symbolically #now i name characters after chicken lights #and inanimate objects i have affectionately named for no reason #our kettle is called lancelot #lancelot the water pot #lancelot traitor to the king when he's taking forever to boil the water though
