A Big List of Very Awesome Names

Merrily the feast I'll make
Toray I'll brew, tomorrow bake
Merrily I'll dance and sing
For next day will a stranger bring
Little does my lady dream: Rumpelstiltskin is my name!



I don't know why I made this list. These names just pop into my head sometimes. Honestly, I doubt any of them are even usable. Still, if I have to suffer, so do you. Feel free to use or even mix and match these names. Some are intended as Internet/Hacker names, some are normal(There aren't enough quotation marks for that word in this context so I won't try)...but most? I doubt you can tell the difference. Shoutout to Sugar Dunkerton, a real person whose name would fit seamlessly onto this list.

Well, that's fifty names for you. Good for at least fifty characters, right? Because these are all gold, obviously. Thank you for sitting through my shitpost despite the growing horrible realization that I'm probably doing this again some day. To get real for a moment, this sort of brainstorming WORKS: if you write down everything you come up with, no matter how dumb, you'll at least end up with the building blocks in front of you to piece together what you really want. As evidenced, there's actually some decent ones in this list!

As a parting piece of advice: Life's too short for normal names. Give your characters something wild that'll spark a conversation.
