Character names for stories, like everything else I do on here.
  1. Amandalee
    • Bean
      • Origin:

        English word name
      • Meaning:

        "an immature bean pod used as a vegetable"
      • Description:

        The unisex word name Bean, distant cousin of the infamous Apple, was used for the name of a child of mysterious gender in Louise Penny's novel "A Rule Against Murder." While we can imagine Bean as a cute nickname for a yet-unnamed and unborn baby, we don't recommend it for real life.
    • Cricket
      • Origin:

        Nature name
      • Description:

        Nickname name from the era of Father Knows Best, though we can see it making something of a comeback, a la Clover and Pippa. Cricket has new potential especially since it has recently been chosen by Busy Philipps. Still, it's one of the quirkier girl names starting with C.
    • Hilary
      • Origin:

        Latin from Greek
      • Meaning:

        "cheerful, happy"
      • Description:

        Hilary (also spelled with two 'l's) is a hot potato of a name, so closely identified with Sen. Clinton that it's hard for most parents to see it as a baby name. A pity, really, as it's got so much going for it: the popular, rhythmic three-syllable structure, the fact that it's strong but light, proper but jaunty, with an irresistible meaning -- having the same root as hilarious.
    • Langleah
      • Moon
        • Origin:

          Word name
        • Description:

          The original oddball celebrity baby name, via Frank Zappa's daughter Moon Unit, who claims she's always liked it.
      • Mystery
        • Origin:

          Word name
        • Description:

          Pretty sound, provocative meaning, but a little over-the-top.
      • Nevaeh
        • Origin:

          Modern invented name
        • Description:

          Nevaeh: an already bold word name with the unusual twist of being spelled backwards; a nightmare for those who love traditional, classic names; a divisive option on name forums across the internet; and a spelling and pronunciation that aren’t quite intuitive at first glance.
      • Pandora
        • Origin:

          Greek
        • Meaning:

          "all gifted"
        • Description:

          Pandora has occasionally been used by the British gentry (for girls with brothers who might be called Peregrine) and is now starting to be heard in the US too: It was given to 34 baby girls last year.
      • Reagan
        • Origin:

          Irish
        • Meaning:

          "little king"
        • Description:

          Inextricably tied to the former president, Reagan is a handsome surname name with a cool, current sound. Gender-neutral nickname Ray/Rae is also very on-trend right now.
