    Really need help naming character!!!

    My character started off as a very disturbing child.Her father left when she was very young and her mother never remarried. She loved reading horror stories and watching scary movies. She never spoke to anyone and always stood in a corner alone while the other kids socialized. Even in high school, she was bitter and anti-social and never spoke to anyone other than her future band members. She loved to sing but did it privately so no one could hear. When she found out a sophomore and her friends were having an audition for the vocalist of their metal band, she broke out of her shell for that one time and sang and screamed her heart out. A few days later, she found out she won the spot as vocalist. She was happy, and yet very unhappy. In her senior year, she was sent to a mental asylum on suicide watch for a few weeks and was diagnosed with schizophrenia. That explained the voices in her head and the visions she saw but was too afraid to tell anyone about. After she got out, her mother sent her to live anywhere else but her house. So, she went to her guitarist's house to stay. It was time to get to work on all the songs she wrote in the past. Now she is 19 and in just one year, the metal band Mangler grew to be very successful due to her hard work. Physically, she has a black bob that's similar to Kimberly Caldwell's, piercings all over her ears, a barcode tattoo on her wrist, a safety pin tattoo on her calf, and shocking hazel eyes. She is very skinny, small, and pale. She also has very long and skinny fingers. She's lived in New York City all her life. She is an atheist, a misanthrope, and asexual. She wears a signature skeleton key around her neck. Every day, she only wears black. She's not goth, she just loves black. She also has quite a masculine and raspy voice for such a small girl. She enjoys bands such as Cannibal Corpse, Motionless in White, Slipknot, Coheed and Cambria, Emilie Autumn, Pantera, Korn, HIM, My Chemical Romance, Marilyn Manson, Rob Zombie, Queens of the Stone Age, Nirvana, and Regina Spektor. As you can see, she has many details but I need help naming her. I was thinking that Robin or Kenzi would be nice, but I need more ideas. Please help!

    I like Kenzi for her. It seems like a better fit than Robin. Robin seems a bit dated to me, like it would fit someone older than the character you're describing.

    Nixie came to mind from your description. Or maybe Alice or Alys, since I get a bit of an Alice Glass vibe. Or Morgan? It would with her metal image, with the "morgue" and "morbid" connotations. Or Nyssa?

    For some reason I feel like she should have kind of a normal name in contrast to her character. Giving her a name like Kenzi which is kind of edgy would be just "too fitting" you know?
    Emily- This name has always had a disturbing feel to it to me. Either because of the exorcism movie or "Emily the Strange"
    Anna/ Annabel -like the gothic poem
    Willow - symbolizes grief/sorrow
    Kiera/Kieran- means little dark one
    Delaney-means dark challenger
    Ivy
    Sage
    Alix
    Teagan
    Hope
    Jade
    Opal
    Olive
    Lyric
    Lilith
    Lark
    Blythe
    Blair
    Calix
    Sable
    Avery
    Colby - I've heard of this as a girls name too.
    Blake- ditto Colby
    Noel
    Violet Gray
    Sad name-obsessed teenager and aspiring writer
    GIRLS: Georgiana Rose, Josephine Ruby, Kate Evangeline, Eliza Rose, Anna Caroline
    BOYS: Jack Henry, Oliver James, Leo Alexander, Finn Michael, Samuel Reid

    As a fellow writer, I feel your name frustration! I would say something that means black/dark:
    Ciara/Kiara- Love it!
    Blake- Masculine, but tough in a nice unisex way
    Cora- I think it'd be very fitting
    Cari- Same Gaelic roots as Ciara, different feel
    Melanie- Ehh
    Nerissa- Really like for this character
    Sable- Ehh
    Raven/Ravenna- Like Ravenna ....
    Merle- Ehh

    Okay, that exhausts my dark/black names. You might try Latin names- I LOVE Antonia nn Toni

    I think Morgan, Teagan, Sable, and Antonia with the nn Toni sound good with your character description. Other suggestions would be Taryn, Bryn, and Lara.
