[Opinions] Re: Name for a character
in reply to a message by Unknown_Storyteller
I must admit I had to Google who Kawakami Tomie was. I'm not an expert on the Japanese Manga world. I looked at her and read a bit and I think something dark and gothic is in order. She sounds like a nasty person.
First Name & Middle Name Combos
Drusilla Odette (Drusilla just sounds like a mean woman to me)
Amaris Ivy (Amaris sounds like amorous which is appropriate for a woman who seduces men)
Elvira Phoenix (Tomie regenerates no matter how many times she dies according to what I read)
Vesper Leona (Vesper just sounds evil to me)
Estella Raven (see Drusilla)
Tabitha Onyx (witchy vibe)
Andromeda Lux (Lux means "light" so it would fool people that she is good)
Theodosia Rue (men "rue" the day they meet this person)
Zella Nimue (just sounds like someone who is bad news)
Demelza Winter (sounds like a cold person who uses people)
Other first names that could work: Lilith, Branwen, Morwenna, Natalia/Natash, Lorelei, Phaedra, Artemisia, Millicent, Isadora, Seraphina, Dahlia, Marceline, Demetria, Odette, Apollonia. Tristana, Ottilia, Lenore, Morgana, Samara and Isolde.
Surname Suggestions: Salem, Hawthorne, Blackburn, Mallory, Graves, Blake, Dresden, Grimm, Locke, Talon, Spurlock, Deville, Nash, Tempest, Fane, Holloway, Gray, Havelock, Winterbourne, Mortimer, Bloodworth, Wolfe, Hemlock, Balsam, Stone, Underwood and Blackvale.
Examples: Drusilla Odette Gray, Amaris Ivy Havelock, Demelza Winter Fane, Elvira Phoenix Winterbourne
Play around with the names and see what you can come up with.

What I was thinking about is definitely in the same vein as your suggestions. A lot of what I have on the list of potential names is the same. The story I'm working on is definitely dark and gothic but no regenarating, just similar personality and appearance (her looks is what I imagine when I think of villainess).
