Naming a character.
Apr. 21st, 2012 08:33 pmI have this female character who is the pilot of a spaceship in a story that I'm working on, and I just can't think of a name for her. She's one of two female POCs in the story, and the two other female characters are named Aurora and Diana (goddess names). I've been considering mainly Hindu names, but I can't decide if I should go with a goddess' name to fit with the other two or pick something related to the sky (because she's a pilot and I guess I'm uncreative). I've been using 100,000+ Baby Names and whatalovelyname.com.
Current name list:
Katyayani (One of Parvati's names; I can't use Parvati itself because I immediately think of the Harry Potter character. Nn would be Katya.)
Ambika (Parvati's name when she is the Progenitor, apparently.)
Shakti ("energy, power; ability, strength; also a goddess.)
Chandrakanta ("beloved of the moon"; nn would be Chandra.)
Indu ("moon")
Indrayani ("wife of Indra (the sky god)")
Niranjana ("night full of the moon")
Meghna ("sound of clouds")
Devi (another major goddess)
Kali (the goddess of destruction; I'm not sure I want to use this one because it seems to obvious.)
WDYT? Any and all suggestions and comments are welcome.
