Voor m'n verhaal gebruik ik deze lijst met namen voor de karakters in het verhaal
- Ad
Description:
Ad is a concise masculine name that primarily functions as a shortened form of names beginning with these letters, such as Adam, Adrian, or Addison. With just two letters, it stands as one of the shortest given names in use. Ad has Dutch origins where it serves as a traditional nickname for Adam or Adrian, though it can stand independently. In some contexts, it may derive from the Hebrew element meaning "ornament" or "adornment." The name's brevity gives it a modern, clean feel despite its traditional roots. While uncommon as a formal given name in most English-speaking countries, Ad's simplicity appeals to parents seeking minimalist naming options. The name's pronunciation is straightforward, making it internationally accessible.
- Alex
Origin:
Diminutive of Alexander, AlexisMeaning:
"defending men"Description:
The independent Alex has become a classic in its own right. One of the truest unisex names, Alex is used almost equally for both sexes. Alex is used both on its own and as a short form of formal names of both genders, such as Alexander, Alexandra, and Alexis.
- Amy
Origin:
FrenchMeaning:
"beloved"Description:

"loving or grace + beautiful"Description:
Annabella is one of a constellation of names that include Anabella, Annabelle, Annabel, Anabel, Annabelle, and Annabell -- all lovely names that have suffered from their association with the eponymous horror movie.

- Edward
Origin:

"wealthy guardian"Description:

English variation of French Provencal Alienor, meaning unknownDescription:
Eleanor's straightforward feminine image combined with its royal medieval history is striking just the right note for parents in search of a girls' name that combines substance and style.
- Elly
Description:
Elly is a charming feminine name that functions both as a standalone name and as a diminutive for several longer names including Eleanor, Elizabeth, Ellen, Eloise, and Eliana. With English and Greek origins, its root meaning connects to 'light' or 'shining one' through its connection to these longer forms. Elly has a friendly, approachable quality with its cheerful sound and simple spelling. While not typically ranking among the most popular names, it has maintained steady usage throughout the decades. The name strikes a perfect balance between feeling familiar and yet not overly common. Its brevity makes it practical and unpretentious, while still carrying the elegant heritage of its longer counterparts.
- Emma

- Erik

"eternal ruler"Description:

Now, Erik is popular in Scandinavia and throughout much of Central and Eastern Europe, where it ranks in the Top 100 in Germany, Slovenia, Hungary, and more.
- Esther
Origin:
PersianMeaning:
"star"Description:
Esther was derived from the Old Persian word stāra, meaning "star." In the Old Testament, Esther, originally named Hadassah, was the captured Jewish wife of the King of Persia who risked her life to save her exiled people from annihilation. This story is celebrated by Jews on the holiday of Purim, so that it has traditionally been given to girls around that time.
- Ethan
Origin:
HebrewMeaning:
"strong, firm"Description:
Ethan is a name that succeeds in being at once classic and fashionable, serious and cheery, strong and sensitive.

Hebrew or EgyptianMeaning:
"drop of the sea, bitter, or beloved"Description:
As a highly popular girls' name in all Spanish-speaking countries, this saintly Latin variation of Mary retains a timeless beauty. Through the centuries, Maria remains one of the most widely-used girl names starting with M.
- Michella
Description:
Michella is a feminine name that serves as a variation of Michelle, which itself is the French feminine form of Michael, meaning 'who is like God?' in Hebrew. The addition of the 'a' ending gives Michella an extra lyrical quality and slightly more elaborate feel than Michelle. While Michelle gained enormous popularity in the mid-20th century, Michella has remained relatively uncommon, offering a familiar-sounding yet more distinctive alternative. The name has a romantic, slightly Italian or Spanish flair despite its French and Hebrew roots. Michella maintains the strong, classic appeal of Michelle while standing out with its less common spelling and pronunciation, making it suitable for parents seeking a recognizable yet somewhat individualized name.
