[Opinions] Re: Thoughts on these names
in reply to a message by Lynxosophy
I like Alina because I feel like it can accept any characterization or color, yet does not seem bland or weak. Could be witchy or sunny. Kaja is my second choice, Kaja is a little more dominant or aggressive sounding to me. A witch Alina is quietly dangerous, a witch Kaja is more ambitious and explosive. Maia gives me an emotional vibe like, she cares a lot. Karin has an innocent/childlike or learner aspect. Erika is self-assured, can't be fooled easily. Carina is idealistic. Aleah is ... too much like Alia in Dune.
I like Cillian for the guy. Owen is pretty good, too, I just don't find it as interesting, it's colder. Ambrose is unbelievable. Blake seems super Anglo to me and cocky. Brennan seems laid-back, a character who responds to others, not someone who'd get into a conflict. Brody ehhh I just don't like it! but it would work, would grow with a character. Keane on a character, I notice "keen" and it sounds very 'rigid boundaries' like it'd be good for a character without author insight. Orion ... eh it seems kind of symbolic for a story character, like how does he refer to Orion's story, but it seems bright and eager. Rhys just sounds "handsome" to me and might be vaguely boring.
