Names I’ve already named characters with, because I’m useless at keeping track of these sorts of things.

Azure
- Origin:
  English color name
- Meaning:
  "sky blue"

  Azure is a colorful choice for a blue-eyed child, recently chosen by Elon Musk for his daughter. Currently, Azure is used for American baby girls and boys in equal numbers. Among other blue-toned color name possibilities: Indigo, Cerulean, and Blue itself.
Cricket

Eris
- Origin:
  Greek
- Meaning:
  "strife, discord"
- Description:
  Eris was the goddess of strife and discord, turned fairy tale and then popular culture figure Maleficent in Sleeping Beauty. Ironic, as her name sounds so much like that of Eros, the god of love.
Honey
- Origin:
  Word name
- Description:
  Honey entered the US Top 1000 for the first time ever in 2024, following the lead of parents in England, who've elevated this nickname-name to the Top 300 girls' names in the UK. Honey's popularity in the UK can be credited to its status as a cute British celebrity baby name, used by actress Kate Winslet, chef Jamie Oliver, and TV presenter Fearne Cotton, among others.

Lucian

  Latin

  "light"
- Description:
  Lucian is a sleeker, more sophisticated version of Lucius that is climbing in tandem with other Lu-starting names.
Misha

- Description:
  Brought into the American consciousness as the nickname of ballet great Mikhail Baryshnikov, it more recently took on a unisex air via TV and screen actress Mischa Barton. Could become the next Sasha.
