[Text] What's in a name

[rampantfantasy]

Weird question.

How do you decide on a name for something?

[The name displayed on this post is simply "Not Riku." That's really helpful of you, kid.]

For a person who doesn't have one.

Naming people can be difficult. Parents can often spend months thinking of the perfect name. I assume, however, that you're not trying to name a newborn.

My recommendation then would be to think of traits that the person has and find a name that relates to that trait. Names can have important meanings after all.

Yeah, it's figuring out the meaning that's the hard part...

Well, what meanings are you looking for. Perhaps we can work backwards.

I'm kind of starting from what meanings I DON'T want. Land, or darkness, or anything about being a copy.

Hyperion is the titan of Light in mythology. Baldur is a Norse god of light. Neither is known for being a copy.

Lucien is also a good light name that has some variations.
