Name this Character!
I’ve been struggling with names for this character, nothing seems quite right. The character is a demon who was summoned to serve a magician in a London-esque setting. Demon has silvery white hair, yellow eyes, and has the appearance of an attractive man in his mid 20s. I’d like to find names that could be regular human names but also have a bit a demon-y sound. The only ones I’ve come up with are Casimir/Cas or Lucien, but I’m not sold on either one, Suggestions? Comments? I’d love your help!

names that seem britshy or dark or mysterious or demon-y but still "normal human" to me:
Soren
Jacoby
Tarquin
Odin
Barnabas/Barnabus
Cassius
Mortimer - well maybe not normal human, but normal in the adams family kind of way...
Sebastian

this name is a bit... old, but how about Melchior? or Barlaam?

Wouldn't it be more subtle, and more alarming, to name your demon a very non-demonic name? Something like Simon Baxter? Harmless, suburban, human?

Agree with Anneza. Baxter is a great suggestion. Warm, but the X is sort of sinister. It also makes me sad because I love Simon and it's such a "nice" name, but there's the rub! :)

Wow, I hadn’t considered that before… I think that would actually work really well in my story. Thanks! I really like Simon, I saw that it means “he has heard”, which I realize is biblical, but also makes me think of a demon eavesdropping from the shadows (or something like that). Thank you so much!
