naming ocs is such a struggle in general but its especially a struggle when you want to name ur ocs realistic stuff thats of non white and/or non english speaking origin because like if ur a foolish monolingual english speaker like myself u gotta constantly outrun the churned out baby naming website listicles of non-english names listed with meanings they either garbled through a game of telephone at best or just straight made up at worst while trying to find any research source u can read thats half decent. fighting for my life out here
AND LIKE its not like i can ask any friends and acquaintances about this stuff like HOW do i ask some work buddy like hey. what culturally thoughtful name should i give my funny little cartoon guy. thank you and goodnight I CANT i cant do it orz
of course i dont mind a weird made-up name on occasion, but like. and this might be more important to me in particular as i am some kinda vaguely ambiguous mixed race person with very noticeably "ethnic" name for the north american country i live in who also has like 389423053742 vaguely ambiguous mixed race ocs but. you know. i love my oc Sci. and I love that his name is Sci short for Science Fiction. and I love that he's a second generation iranian canadian named Sci pronounced Sai short for Science Fiction. but a real human name would be nice sometimes too LOL
#lia and her friends names are all wack. on purpose but yeah#i think i mentioned before that their names were like shortened versions of placeholder names that just stuck#except rosie. he's just always been rosie HJKFDLSJFDS#but yeah i like those guys and their slightly wack names. well not all of them are wack#lia's just a slightly uncommon but not that uncommon alternate spelling of a very common name#bibi is technically a normal name in some cultures. but maybe not that normal on a young man of eastern european and indo caribbean descent#but maybe it IS normal on a young man of eastern european and indo caribbean descent. if you believe. in the power of friendship#eri and tora are also just like normal names in a few different cultures#em is a pretty common nickname for a lot of names like emily and emile and shit. and when i think about it a guy with indocaribbean heritag#having the name Emile would be pretty common where i live at least. but his name isnt emile. its just em JKLFDSJFDsd#theres no way i can rationalize Fell's name i dont think. she sounds like an AU fan character of some game. but thats okay i love her anywa#also yeah like 70% of the Lia Crystal Darling cast has some kinda indian caribbean heritage because i am. also of that LOL
