Help with names.

Submitted by Jackie West on Wed, 08/31/2011 - 16:09

My sister and I, along with a few aquaintances, are making a movies spoof on The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. However, we are having trouble agreeing on a name for the good Knight, Aslan's character. Is there any interesting, but slightly nerdy name, that we could use? Any help would be welcome. Thanks!
Maybe, if we get around to it and the script is written fairly soon, we might post it on here. :)

P.S. Are there any sites where I could find names for villains and bad guys in my stories?

Alfred? ;) That's slightly nerd-ish.

Check out a baby-name book for other names. They give origin, meaning, and all sorts of other things. I think you can buy them sort of cheap (I have one) and then they're great with helping with names for new stories.

Shush Homey! Your giving away our secret weapon! Now EVERYONE will be as successful in naming their characters as we are ( :-P LOL)!

Thank you everybody but we are fine on names. Jackie, we need to talk.....

Just kidding! Thanks everybody for your help! I think we considered Albert and Alfred and Cato as well. Cato means "Scholar," but it doesn't seem nerdy enough. Jackie, it's "NOTEPIC Productions. Brainchild of my brother and his best friend. Current format of storyboard is The Chronicles of Elsewhere, The Knight and the Bookcase.

We might make others as well. Keep your eyes open!

Oh for the times when I felt invincible.

(now, that would be funny to have the Good Knight's name mean books :)

I got this all from Google Translate, and I had been translating words into Welsh, so, that's why it's all from that language :)
