I can come up with a character's appearance. Their personality. Their likes and dislikes. Their hopes and dreams. But they will just be bundles of back stories until I give them names. And here lies the problem.

I have characters, and they need names, and I need help naming these nameless characters. So if my watchers, or anyone reading this, can offer some suggestions, that would be SUPER (pun intended).

I like character names to have relevancy to themselves. Tytan is based of the word "titan" from Greek mythology and the name "Tyson" which means "fiery tempered," or "passionate," which are perfect descriptions for the angsty powerhouse. "Alexander" means "defender of men," which is something takes very seriously. He may not consider himself a hero, but he's a defender of men.

A hoplite is a wealthy citizen soldier that took it upon himself to be ready when his country needed him for war. The name "Pallas" is a Greek name that means "to brandish a weapon." It's also the name of several characters in mythology. And "Achilles" means "he who fights for his people." And there was also that dude with the ankle (a human element for an epic character).

And other characters are given the same amount of attention to their names.

That being said, I have other characters that I want to introduce, but are lacking in quality names. Can you help me find/make names for some of my other characters. The All Stars splendorent.deviantart.com/art…

Any help is greatly appreciated. :-)
